The news of Japan's interest rate hike has already been confirmed, and the results and speeches are completely in line with expectations. Therefore, the remaining market activity in December will revolve around the annual options settlement;

The annual options settlement date is the 26th, because the 25th is Christmas, and today the 19th is a Friday. After the weekend, the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th will roughly be the days to prepare for options settlement;

Finally: As previously explained, December is a rare golden swing period, meaning there is no need to worry about large breakout or breakdown trends. However, many people dislike swing trading because swing markets tend to be counter to people's emotions—after a decline, many are more bearish; after a rise, many are more bullish. #市场触底了吗？
