Everyone is waiting for that October bottom like it’s guaranteed. But what if the dip everyone expects simply never comes?

When too many traders sit on the sidelines waiting for lower prices, the setup can flip. If everyone is holding cash and expecting a drop, there may be fewer sellers left to push the market down.

Now imagine October holds stronger than expected. Those sidelined traders could start rushing back in, and that FOMO could fuel the next move higher.

Sometimes the move everyone is waiting for is exactly the move the market refuses to give.
