BTIG warns that the market's downside risk is greater than its upside return. Does the strategy of buying on dips no longer seem attractive?

BTIG stated in a report to its clients on Thursday that the strategy of buying on dips is becoming less attractive in the current environment, as investors should be cautious of the downward trend of the S&P 500 index. BTIG said in the report, "Ultimately, we still believe that the downside risk outweighs the upside potential, although there may be bounces in between. Given that the technology sector and other high beta areas have just started to roll over after breaking key support levels, we see no reason to buy here." Since reaching a peak at 4607 points, the benchmark index has now fallen to 4403 points, a decline of 4.4%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index has dropped to its lowest trading level since July 10 and is currently below the 50-day moving average. The investment firm also added, "The S&P 500 index reaching 4325 points may test the breakout level of 4200 points again in the coming weeks." As a representative of fund flows, Wall Street investors have injected $4.12 billion into the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY.US), iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV.US), and Vanguard 500 Index Fund (VOO.US) since the S&P 500 index peaked on July 27. As a reference, these three exchange-traded funds reflect the price movement of major average indexes, indicating that some investors are buying during the downturn.
