Indices Are Overbought - A Correction Is Coming

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of close of  November 11, 2016
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer

 

SGS timer continued to put in lower values last week as SPX marched higher.  The divergence exhibited by SGS points to a high likelihood of a sell-off this coming week.  I'm waiting to see if SGS goes lower early and possibly crosses its D-DTL and closes below it.  That would be bearish and it would be prudent to close long positions.

Short-Term (hours to days) Outlook



Shorter term, SPX is overbought.  Chances are good that we see a sell-off this coming week and possibly a test of D-DLT around 2350 and AUL around 2330.

Long-Term (weeks to months) Outlook



Longer term, chances are good for SPX to sell-off to tests its AUL around 2320 sometime this coming week and then continues its sell-off to test its W-DTL around 2300.

My Plan


I'm still waiting for a minor correction, 3% to 5%.  My plan is to do my first buy of three in SPY in that correction unless SGS drops dramatically in the sell-off.
