I am done reading all the posts from the last two days. All for four to five hours. All I wanted to find out is: What would be the most likely market scenario on Monday? I would like to request anybody here to make a courageous statement based on whatever reason, logical or otherwise, about what they feel would happen on Monday. Insightful opinion, that is all. Thank you and God Bless !!!

I agree. Selling into short-covering and bargain-buying 5-15% rallies until the fearful are out of the market and sellers are exhausted. But there is plenty of buyers money sitting on the sidelines and plenty of shorts needing to cover soon. Remember too that there should be an equal amount of fear on the part of investors about dumping at the bottom. Nothing can make you kick yourself more than selling right before a recovery rally, even if we're now in a bearish overall market. Therefore I anticipate lots of upward spurts, failing at first, then finally breaking through as panic sellers are taken out. Many of them are already taken out, tons of them in fact on Friday alone. hard to say exactly when but we are near the end of the selling pressure. Then selling pressure will be replaced by bargain-hunting frenzy, at least to a degree though not as speculative as we've seen in the past by any means. Expect well-known companies to get the money, the beaten down kings and sure survivors, both in tech and traditional industries.
