The recent bear market rally that started on January 20, came to a spectacular end last Friday as SPX rallied about 2.5% on the back of massive short covering caused by BOJ adopting negative interest rate policy and oil market stabilizing.
On its weekly chart, shown above, SPX found resistance at one of its old Primary Downtrend Lines (PDL-1) on Friday. Chances are excellent that SPX starts to sell off this coming week to test its Tentative Uptrend Line (TUL, pink line) and its recent lows (1812) in the next couple of weeks.
Should support at TUL fail, SPX very likely would sell off more to test its Primary Uptrend Line (PUL-0, thick black) around mid 1700 sometime in mid to late February. My guess is that the Fed would intervene at that point by giving back its December 0.25% rate hike and going back to ZIRP again.
It's doubtful if going back to ZIRP would end the bear market. Eventually, trying to stop a recession, the Fed would be forced into starting another round of QE later this year (sorry Donald, you will lose in the general election to the devil that BM knows well).
Short Term Outlook (Days to to Weeks):
MY Plan:
I'm still 100% in
cash and planning to open first of 3 short positions in SPY sometime on Monday.
