Longer Term Outlook


Longer term (weeks to months), after a quick sell off in the next couple of weeks, SPX very likely rallies until the US presidential election as Clinton pulls ahead of Trump in polls.  I still think that there is a chance (20%) that Trump quits the race as it becomes mathematically impossible for him to win the election.  Once the probability of Trump winning the election falls below 15%, we should see Trump try to weasel out of the election so he wouldn't face an embarrassing defeat on November 8.

On Friday, SPX tested the lower channel line of its bear flag formation (shown in above weekly chart in pink).  Chances are high that selling continues in the next of couple weeks and as SPX tests its DTL (13 EMA) around 2150.  A close below DTL this week would signal more selling as SPX tests its PUL-2 around 2100.

Shorter Term Outlook


No change since last week, indices are still overbought.  Chances are good that SPX sells off this coming week to test its 50 D-SMA around 2150.  Should selling gets panicky, there is a good chance that SPX drops down to 2120 intraday.

My Plan

My plan still is to open long positions in SPY.  I'm planning to open my first of three long positions in SPY sometime this week as SPX sells to tests its 50 D-SAM around 2150.
