This week really highlighted how brutal and confusing the market can get. With nonstop selloffs, sudden rebounds, and a crash right after a strong rally, it’s clear that relying on just one approach isn’t enough for me. I tend to start with the macro to understand the overall environment — rates, liquidity, policy tone. It helps me manage risk and avoid getting blindsided by market sentiment.

But at the same time, I can’t ignore bottom-up fundamentals. When panic hits and everything gets sold indiscriminately, that’s when I start paying attention to high-quality names that are getting dragged down for no fundamental reason. If the company’s long-term story is solid, short-term volatility becomes less scary and more like an opportunity.

So for me, the best approach is a mix of both. I use top-down signals to adjust exposure and protect myself during macro turbulence, and bottom-up research to take advantage of mispriced opportunities.
