The recent moves in the market have created a massive spike in volatility, as global markets continue to battle rising inflation, in conjunction with their respective boards, such as the RBA or the Fed, increasing interest rates accordingly.  Many investors have formed their own biases regarding where the market is heading.

Whilst it's human nature to have a bias, it becomes a psychological battle to make clear trading decisions. Investors must have an open mindset, being reactive to ever-changing events rather than a fixed mindset. Being opinionated on where the market should or could be heading becomes an opportunity cost, missing potential gains or profits, producing frustration and in turn, irrational thinking.

The market has an interesting way of doing exactly the opposite of what it's expected to do. The best way to tackle this is to stay updated on market events and world news and monitor the market's reaction to specific news as patterns always tend to occur. It's paramount for investors to create highly adaptable portfolios in volatile times such as now.
