Volatility Is Returning

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


Generally speaking, things are pretty bullish and indices could go up another 10% to 15% from here before we see a sizable pullback.  There are signs, however, that point to no or limited advance in indices.  As shown in the chart above, SPX challenged its recent all-time high (2400) in the last couple of weeks twice but both times on a shrinking number of news highs s and expanding number of new lows.  That is a classic bearish divergence.

SPX unsuccessfully challenged its all-time high last week again. I expect another volatile week ahead and a possible test of its TUL and PDL-0 around 2365 and 2340, respectively.

My Plan

My plan is to open my first long position of three in SPY and QQQ sometime early on Monday.
