SHORT-TERM: BEWARE OF POSSIBLE 2.5%+ CORRECTIONS
If you paid attention to the pattern mentioned in 11/05 Market Recap about SPX daily bar completely out of BB, then you won’t be surprised about today’s small pullback, because 8 out of 12 cases since 1991, the day after an out of BB day was a red day. Take a look again on all the cases below for what likely is to happen after today. At least it looks to me more small pullbacks are more likely.
Although, my guess is that nobody would believe the SPX would ever pullback a little little bigger, but still I’d like to remind you that we’re in a now or never time window. See chart below, since 1991, interestingly, the straight up without 2.5%+ pullbacks usually lasted 48 to 61 trading days. And now we’ve had 50 trading days without 2.5%+ pullbacks. So odds are that a little bit bigger pullback would happen within 2 weeks. Again, this is a now or never time window which in another word is if we had no 2.5%+ pullbacks for more than 61 trading days then chances are that the market would be up straight for 148 trading days without 2.5%+ pullbacks. By the way, the time window for a little bigger pullback within 2 weeks also fits well what I mentioned in 11/05 Market Recap calling for 70%+ chances a red week this or the next week.
Besides the time window mentioned above, the SPY ST Model also gives a warning today, asking to tighten the stop loss to below the low of today. See chart below for what happened thereafter when SPY ST Model gave such kind of warnings. Judging by the past performance, the warning does deserve some credits, so be careful.
0.2.0 Volatility Index (Daily), the 3rd thing needs attention today is VIX had 3 consecutive reversal like bars, so it could rebound which means that SPX may pullback.
INTERMEDIATE-TERM: SPX MAY SHOOT HIGH THEN FALL BACK TO WHERE IT STARTS WHICH USUALLY IS THE 2ND BUY OPPORTUNITY
See 11/05 Market Recap for more details.
SEASONALITY: LAST 2 MONTHS OF YEAR ARE BULLISH
