Those that view the message of the market on daily basis are likely confused by trading noise. While trading noise contributes to the long-term trends, it does not define them. Human behavior tries to explain trading noise as a meaningful trend. This confuses the majority which, in turn, contributes to their role as bagholders of trend transitions.
Tired of following experts or 'gurus' that consistently provide after-the-fact and non-actionable interpretations? Follow the message of the market instead. Markets are either focused bull or bear opportunities, or consolidation/profit-taking (CP) against them.

On Balance Volume (OBV), a crude measure of trend energy, suggests distribution. This favors the bears.
