Frewil 11I'm sure your aware of the " Sell in May and Go Away", Montra that has been applied to juniors for the last 20 years.
The end of August is the final flushing of these stocks from portfolios around the world. Unless there is a specific reason for a break-out , they all head south. ( see V.OILS for an EG:)
The exception this year is CV19 related opportunities. CV19 has handed ( as noted by other posters) The big companies a windfall at the expense of intermediates and junior companies.
SONA and a few others have been identified as hopefuls so a run on them. Last few years it was AI and Blockchain.
There is an inordinate amount of cash sitting and a lot burried in the Amazons of this planet. However the defensive positions are enormous and the BOTS are set to trigger at the first sign this hyper inflated investing turns around. ETH, BTC and Gold stocks could be serious beneficiaries. ( who will be elected in the USA and will another 2-3 Trillion flood the markets with a $30 trillion USA debt? A lot of unanswered questions. )
The outline that SHAKER ( serious D.D.) put down is in my mind the progression forward of DataMatrix since the arrival of Gunter. The leap forward will be the fruition of these programs which have a decent probabilty.
The first week after the September long weekend is typically quiet and then the juniors build toward December peaking just prior to Jan 15/2021. ( if you lay the last ten years charts over each other and pull an average.)
