SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer
Why Market Timing Is A Must
Economic Crisis Avoidance Deus ex Machina - Part I: Active Asset Price Inflation
SGS advanced everyday last week but SGS is still in SHORT territory, signalling that, in the long-term (weeks to months), there is still a high chance (> 70%) that major indices continue trading lower.

As shown above, the "bottom head & shoulders" price pattern on SPX daily chart is still in play. There is still a reasonable chance that SPX rallies this week to test the Neck Line around 2810 to 2820.
My Plan
No change since last week, I'm still in cash and going to watch internal data as SPX trades around 2800 this week. Again, I'm specifically looking at the number of new lows for yearly, quarterly, and monthly time frames. If the sell-off is done and indices are to move higher to challenge their all-time highs, then the number of new lows should drop significantly in those time frames. Otherwise, what's going on is nothing but a bear market counter-trend rally to trap bulls.
