The final installment of an interview with Murai Takami (村居孝美), who has more than 22 years of experience, has been released. She discusses market movements from summer into autumn and how to identify opportunities for profitable short-term trading.
Murai Takami (村居孝美) explains the characteristics of the August market based on her 23 years of experience, saying that the market is expected to be volatile from summer into autumn because of the many events during the period. In August, the number of market participants declines as domestic and overseas institutional investors and foreign hedge funds take summer holidays, causing trading value to fall sharply. She points out that technical levels are therefore more prone to distortion and trends are more likely to develop sharply.
During this period, markets are more likely to move in ways where prices fall even when they are expected to rise. While this can make scalping in cryptocurrencies easier, she says traders need to understand that stable technical indicators are less likely to work and act accordingly.
Following its discussion of the difficulties of summer trading, the interview also covers specific strategies, including how to choose currencies and identify a tradable market. As the final installment of a two-part series, it brings together practical perspectives on short-term trading.
The article presents measures to address market distortions and the characteristics of markets with low liquidity. It explains how readers should view market conditions from summer into autumn.
