Critical Week Is Ahead

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of the close of Friday May 22, 2020
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer
Why Market Timing Is A Must

As shown on the chart above, SPX failed last week to overcome its all-time (3393) resistance.  That is bearish and increases the odds of major indices entering into an extended period of consolidation or correction.  

How SPX trades this week is critical.  If SPX sells off and closes below its lower boundary line of its price channel, then further selling to test its 50 D-SMA and 200 D-SMA would be more likely.  If SPX rallies pass its all-time high and the upper boundary of its smaller price channel however, then a move higher to test the upper boundary of its larger price channel (around 3700 sometime next month) would be more likely.
As shown on  the chart above, SGS is long but heading lower, bearish.

Support and resistance levels for SPX for next week are shown above.


My Plan

Last Monday I closed my long position in QQQ, and per my plan, I opened new positions in SPY, IWM, GLD, and SLV on Tuesday.  This week, I'm letting the market make the first move.  If indices head higher, then I would open a new long position in QQQ (remaining 15%).  Otherwise, I would very likely close my IWM and SPY long positions.
