Increased Volatility?

It may just be me but it seems like the market had a greater volatility today due to what happened yesterday. Three questions come to mind:

  1. Is volatility really increased or is mere perception?

  2. If it is increased how long will it last? Today, tomarrow, into next week?

  3. I’m guessing there will be a large gap on sunday. Any way to take advantage of that?

Yes, the shockwaves of printing so much money is still rippling through the market.

There may be a gap, there may be not. Gaps are usually, not always closed fairly quickly after their formation. So if it does gap down/gap up Sunday night, look for an opportunity to trade into the gap, taking profit just before the gap closes.

However, directly after a gap, it may still have further to go before it reverses back to close it, so keep an eye out.
