Rangebound markets earned the nickname, “the chop fest.” Besides losing some money, these are very frustrating for trend-followers. A power trend will usually end with the 21-day line crossing back below the 50-day. We screen for stocks with momentum using our proprietary tools.

If you use margin, this would be the only time to use it. A power trend typically ends when the 21-day crosses back below the 50-day. We find options with the potential to bring in big gains. As mentioned in IBD’s Weekend Stock Market Update, the most recent power trend started on May 8, 2020 and remains intact. Downtrends demand aggressive defense.

A power trend started in October 2020 (1) as the Nasdaq began a four-month advance of about 20%. The power trend came under pressure about a week later (2) and resumed in full strength on Nov. 24, 2020 (3). It was under pressure again on Feb. 25, 2021 (4) until a circuit breaker ended the power trend March 4 (5). Sideways, or rangebound, markets are some of the trickiest times to be an investor. There is still money to be made, but your likelihood of success drops dramatically. Sir Isaac Newton would be a huge fan of the IBD Market School’s Power Trend.

A market in motion tends to stay in motion. Power trends help to get you in and to keep you in when the stock market is in an unusually strong uptrend. Just because a power trend is your opportunity to trade most aggressively, don’t think that means your other rules go out the window. Trading stocks is like dancing with a partner who always leads.

Power Trend

Power trends are the times to play aggressive offense. Aggressive offense still means 100% discipline. 3) The 50-day line is in an uptrend (one day is sufficient). Some are longer and stronger than others.
