Market Timing

Thursday, October 13 2016

This market remains one that is very difficult to call. There are lots of things going on that influence the direction of the markets; like The Fed, extremely low interest rates, poor corporate earnings, wild Presidential campaigns, weak international economies, etc.  It seems like when any one of these "pops" just a little, the market goes crazy. That is why the market is relatively flat, but with high volatility.

From a "technical" standpoint, we have had a really interesting standoff, with the Bulls winning most and the Bears winning a few.  However, the Bears have been in charge so far this week, but the Bulls may have pulled off a "turnaround" today.  Still too close to call, but let's lay out what we see.

SHORT TERM
From the graph below, we can analyze the pros and cons for each side:

Bears                                                        Bulls                                 _             ________ __
Broke triangle pattern down 3 days ago        Today the SPY closed above its support at 212.0
Continued down for the next two days          Today's "candle" is in a positive "Hammer" position
The SPY broke it's 100-Day EMA today          Today may have been a "One Day Key Reversal"
                             


LONG TERM
From the graph below:

Bears                                                        Bulls                                 _             ________ _______
Broke below triangle pattern                        Market re-bound performed like a "One Day Key Reversal"
Broke just below the Long-Term trend line    Rebounded to closed almost on the Long-Term trend line
Broke just below its 200-Day EMA                      
                                                                


The short-term future of the market is very difficult to call under these conditions.  The current MIPS signals are "LONG", so we should hold our long positions for now.
