A Roller Coaster Ride To Nowhere

SGS Market Timer Status:  SHORT 
SHORT as of the close of Friday December 9, 2022
Previous SGS Status
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer
Why Market Timing Is A Must


The US Economy is growing at a healthy rate of 3.2% with a historic low level of unemployment (The Push).  At the same time, the Federal Reserve is aggressively raising rates and reducing its balance sheet (The Pull).  This Push and Pull is the reason why major indices have been on a roller coater ride to nowhere for the last few month.  The ride to nowhere very likely continues for a while, maybe a long while.


SGS Market Timer

As of the close of last Friday (12/23), the value of SGS was calculated to be -335 and the status of SGS remains SHORT.


S&P 500 Support And Resistance Levels

Support and resistance levels for SPX for this week are shown above.  No change since last week, at this point there is a reasonable chance that SPX tests the support that exist around its October low (
3500).  Should that support fail, then SPX would sell further to test 3200 level which is also 61.8% Fib. retracement level of the Covid  rally (2191 to all-time high 4818).


My Plan

I am planning to continue to stay in cash and open new positions sometime in the first week of 2023.  

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

October Low Is Very Likely Tested

SGS Market Timer Status:  SHORT 
SHORT as of the close of Friday December 9, 2022
Previous SGS Status

Why Market Timing Is A Must


SGS Market Timer

As of the close of last Friday (12/9), the value of SGS was calculated to be -215 and the status of SGS changed from NEUTRAL to SHORT.


S&P 500 Support And Resistance Levels

Support and resistance levels for SPX for this week are shown above.  At this point there is a reasonable chance that SPX tests the support that exist around its October low (
3500).  Should that support fail, then SPX would sell further to test 3200 level which is also 61.8% Fib. retracement level of the Covid  rally (2191 to all-time high 4818).


My Plan

With SGS being SHORT now, my plan is open a new position in SDS sometime this week.

SPX Is Up Against Strong Resistance

SGS  Market Timer Status:  NEUTRAL 
NEUTRAL as of the close of Friday November 25, 2022
Previous SGS Status
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer
Why Market Timing Is A Must


SGS Market Timer

As of the close of last Friday (12/2), the value of SGS was calculated to be +17 and the status of SGS remains NEUTRAL.


S&P 500 Support And Resistance Levels

Support and resistance levels for SPX for this week are shown above.  SPX 4100-4300 is going to act as a strong resistance range and I expect SPX to trade within that range for a week or two.  Should SPX clears 4300, then there would be a good chance for SPX rallies to challenge its all-time high. 


My Plan

I am 95% in cash and planning to wait to see if the status of SGS changes on this Friday.
