Is A Bottom Near?

SGS Market Timer Status:   NEUTRAL  
Neutral as of close of 12/29/2014

RTS Current Portfolio (2015)
In Cash



I don't know if a bottom is near.  Maybe what's happening now is nothing but a healthy correction in our almost six year bull market.  Here are two scenarios that I'm considering:

  • Bear Case (70% imo): SPX sells off early this coming week to test support at 2020.  A daily close below SPX 2020 would signal a move to test strong support at 2000.  If SPX starts to trade below 2000, I believe chances are good that SPX sells off significantly, maybe around 10%, in a few weeks.

  • Bull Case (30% imo): Support at SPX 2020 holds and SPX rallies to close above its 50 D-SMA and its PDL. SPX continues higher to put in a new all time high.
As posted on my FB page, I did not open any long positions last week as I had planned.  I'm in cash and for now just watching indices from the sideline.
