Forecasts And Outlook Will Make Or Break Indices

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


Starting in the 2nd week of January, companies report their 2022 fourth quarter earnings, and more importantly, their forecasts for 2023.  Rosy forecasts for 2023 by most companies would send indices significantly higher on the back of short-covering and dip-buying.  Not so rosy forecasts would send major indices much lower to test lower support levels.  For SPX, lower support levels are at 3500 and 3200.


SGS Market Timer

As of the close of last Friday (12/30/2022), the value of SGS was calculated to be -169.  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.  At this point there is a good chance now 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 rally from its Covid low (2191) to its all-time high (4818).


My Plan

Per my plan, last Wednesday I opened a new SDS position.  My plan is to add to that position should indices continue to go lower.
