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.

Top-Down vs. Bottom-Up Investing: Which One Suits You?
This week the market delivered a full-blown roller coaster: consecutive selloffs, extreme fear, a sharp rally followed by a crash on Thursday, and a weak open with a shaky rebound on Friday that barely closed in the green. Amid the waves of panic, tech stocks finally showed a bit of stabilization. But the reality is simple: most investors ended this week in the red. Whenever the market enters a violent correction, an old question always comes back: Are you better suited for top-down investing or bottom-up investing?
