Another Volatile Week Is Coming Up

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of close of November 11, 2016
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer
Again SGS ticked higher every day last week, touched it ADL on Thursday and on Friday it ticked lower for the first time in 10 trading day.  This is all very bullish and chances of indices going much higher are good.

My Outlook

SPX unsuccessfully challenged its all-time high last week. I expect another volatile week ahead and a possible test of its TUL and DTL around 2340.

My Plan

My plan is to open my first long position of three in SPY sometime this coming week, hopefully into a sell-off to test support at 2340.

Volatility Continues And Presents A Buying Opportunity

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of close of November 11, 2016
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer


SGS ticked higher every day last week, signaling that sell-off since early March very likely has run its course.  On Thursday and Friday, SGS closed above its DTL signaling a good entry point for opening long positions. 


As shown on the chart above, while SGS is "LONG", i.e. SGS value is greater than zero, SGS crossing its DTL have been good points to open (when crossing above DLT from below) and to close (when crossing below DLT from above) long positions.

My Outlook

Chances are good that the sell-off since early March ended last and indices are heading higher to challenge their new all-time highs. I expect a volatile week ahead because of the election in France and the possibility of a government shutdown on Friday.

My Plan

My plan is to open my first long position of three in SPY sometime early this coming week.

A Volatile Week Is Very Likely Ahead

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of close of November 11, 2016
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer

SGS ticked lower for the week, signaling more selling is very likely in the coming week.  As of the close of Friday, all major indices (DJI, DJT, NAZ, RUT and SPX) are trading below their 50 D-SMA's. That's bearish and signals more selling ahead.

My Outlook

Bears are firmly in charge now and will push indices much lower next week.  I expect SPX to test price support at 2300 and its PUL-2 around 2260.  A close below PUL-2 on weekly basis would signal significant selling ahead.

My Plan

No change since last week, I am going to follow SGS and start buying SPY if SGS starts to uptick and closes above its DTL. If SGS continues lower and crosses its zero line and turns "SHORT", I would start opening short positions in SPX by buying SH.

Selling Continues

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of close of November 11, 2016
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer

SGS ticked lower for the week, signaling more selling is very likely in the coming week.

My Outlook

Bearish Case (70%): Chance are high that SPX tests its TUL (shown in pink) and W-DTL this coming week.  A daily close for SPX below 2345 would signal more selling and very likely test of price support at 2275 and PUL-2 around 2255.

Bullish Case (30%): If SPX starts trading and closes above its PDL-0, then chances would be good that SPX moves higher to challenge its recent highs.

My Plan

No change since last week, I am going to follow SGS and start buying SPY if SGS starts to uptick and closes above its DTL. If SGS continues lower and crosses its zero line and turns "SHORT", I would start opening short positions in SPX by buying SH.

Indecision Is Very Likely Over

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of close of November 11, 2016
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer

SGS remained unchanged for the week, signaling that Big Money is still indecisive.  Chances are good, however, that Big Money would be forced to make a decision this coming week.  SGS would tick significantly higher or lower depending on what Big Money decides to do.

If Trump's Russia-gate starts to snowball, then we should see a sell-off, SPX testing and failing support at its TUL line, SGS crossing its zero line and turning "SHORT".

My Outlook

If Russia-gate develops legs, then chances would be high that SPX sells off to test its PUL-2 around 2250 and possibly its 50 W-SMA around 2200. Otherwise, indices would start pushing higher to challenge their recent all-time highs.

My Plan

No change since last week, I am going to follow SGS and start buying SPY if SGS starts to uptick and closes above its DTL. If SGS continues lower and crosses its zero line and turns "SHORT", I would start opening short positions in SPX by buying SH.
