Indices Are Heading Much Higher

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of the close of September 8, 2017
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer

Why Market Timing Is A Must


On Friday SGS bucks its declining trend and headed higher, confirming the rally in all major indices.  With SGS above 50 and the market entering into a seasonally bullish period, chances of a significant correction is slim to none.


Q3 earnings and outlook have been pretty good.  Chances are high that SPX continues going higher in its well-formed price channel as shown on the weekly chart above. 

My Plan


Last Thursday SPY opened below its ASL and sold off to test its DTL shortly after the open. Then, SPY rallied and closed well above its ASL.  On Friday, SPY continued its rally and closed well above its ARL.  The rally on Friday and where SPY closed was significant because it rendered the bearish rising wedge and flag price formation invalid.

At this point, chances are high that indices continue their rally for the rest of the year.  My plan is to open my first (in SPY) of three long positions sometime Monday morning.
