It is not productive to try to predict where the market will be tomorrow, next week, next month or next year. What you need to know is what the market is doing right now. When the market goes through a weak period, watch for signs of a new rally. Look for at least one of the major market indices to rise 1.5% or more on greater volume than the prior day. This “follow-through” usually happens in the fourth to seventh day of an attempted rally. There are other signs that help you spot a market bottom.
