SGS Market Timer Is Neutral

SGS  Market Timer Status:  NEUTRAL 
NEUTRAL as of the close of August 4, 2017
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer

Despite DJI reaching new all-time highs, the broader market declined with increasing number of new lows and decreasing number of new highs for both NYSE and NASDAQ.  SGS continued its decline last week and closed below its DTL for the week.  As of the close last Friday, SGS is "NEUTRAL". 


Last week DJI rallied while all other four major indices (SPX, NAZ, RUT, and DJT) declined. This type of divergence in an aging bull market is never a good sign.

The rally that started in early 2016 (from SPX 1810) is very likely has reached or about to reach its peak (2500 +/- 1%). Chances are good that SPX enters into a 5% trading range (2500 to 2350) for a couple of months until the shit show in DC ends one way or another.   

My Plan

I'm planning to close my long positions in SPY, SSO, and UPRO sometime this coming week.
