Indices Are Coiled Up To Strike Higher Or Lower

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer
Why Market Timing Is A Must


Four of seven "FANGMAN" stocks (FB, AMZN, NLFX, GOOGL, MSFT, AAPL, and NVDA) reported last Thursday after close, but the market response on Friday was generally disappointing. If a significant sell-off starts, FANGMAN and other NDX constituents would correct significantly.

For the last two weeks, SPX has been trading in an 80 point range (3200 - 3280).  SPX has coiled up and it's ready to strike out of its trading range (green rectangle) in either up or down direction. 

SGS is long but starting to head lower, bearish.


Support and resistance levels for SPX for this week are shown above.  


My Plan

Per my plan, I opened a small long position in GLD last Friday.  I also opened an even smaller long position in GBTC. 

I don't know which way indices are going to break out of their recent trading range.  Best is to let them make their first move and then follow.   My plan is to buy either QQQ or PSQ depending on the direction of indices out of their recent trading range.
