As for news, economics and all that stuff - I gave up making sense of all that a long time ago. At least in relation to my technical read and trading of the market. I first started out day trading in late 2008. Just about when the FED launched their first round of QE.
There were a lot of people, not just traders, but economists, who were very negative with regards to QE and claimed it would destroy both the economy and the dollar, yet here we are 12 years later.
I remember that paying attention to the news influenced me very badly as I became very bearish and as a result fought the market - always looking for the great big short. Over the years, I've lost count of the # of bearish news/reports that this market shrugged off like it was nothing and even rallied on it.
In recent times I think the recovery after the fall of 2018 was something that left a lot of people puzzled.
