S&P Slides to its Key Level As Expected

Again, our market timing has been impeccable.

Last week I mentioned the 50-dma for the S&P was likely, and that has also been the case for the QQQ and IWM. Just the Dow 30 is holding up at this point.

As with Stock Selection, Market Timing is not just about one indicator or perspective. It’s about a few credible individual sources all conspiring to form a likely logical outcome. The key of course is for those individual sources to be credible, and this is where we at WiseTraders outperform. We only deal in logic.

So, we’ve had a decline of three indices (and many stocks) and an increase in volatility. All of which was anticipated weeks ago, and with the big tell-tail sign being the bearish monorail bar from 27th July.

Like I mentioned last weekend, regardless of what you see in the news, or what you read in forums or chat rooms, try to ignore the noise and interpret what you’re actually seeing instead.

Market Outlook:

Now the S&P, QQQ and IWM have hit their 50-dma, and with our excellent medium-term timer slightly extended, I’d expect a couple of days of consolidation, but with the QQQ having breached its 50-dma, and the OVIs for these three indices being negative, there is a decent chance for further lows.

Watch the video for more detail.

The Main Indices:

The S&P has now hit its 50-dma where it should find support for a couple of days.
The QQQ has breached its 50-dma, and I would expect it to consolidate here.
The IWM has slid rapidly to within a whisker of its own 50-dma, which I would expect it to breach.
The DIA is hanging onto its 20-dma in increasingly ragged fashion. Further weakness in the other indices will likely infect the DIA.

Market Timers:

  • Longer Term Market Timer (OVIsi):
    Within a whisker of going half-green. The DIA’s OVI just about held it up!
  • Medium Term Swing Timer:
    Now just a tiny bit oversold meaning a short term consolidation is likely.
  • Index OVIs:
    The SPY, QQQ and IWM OVIs are negative to varying degrees. The DIA is neutral.

Fast Filters Stock Selection:

Like last week we weren’t overwhelmed with nuggets this week. Remember, quality over quantity.

Similar to last week, today I’ve done most of my filtering near the Key Levels.

Here is a smaller list of stocks that look interesting for our consideration. Very soon I will only post this in our new Expert Watchlists area, so you’ll have to log in to see it. Remember to reference the video so you know what my sentiment is on each one: 

ARCH ATKR BAX BROS CHD CRWD CVX GD GLBE GLD HSIC MCO MDT MNDY NFLX NOW PCOR PLTR QQQ QRVO ROL SPGI STT STX TECK TEVA TRMB VRSN WAL WM WRK XLRE ZBH

Software Upgrades:

A couple of minor tweaks last week where the bigger changes were delayed to this coming week where you’ll see some formatting improvements and another upgrade to the Watchlists area. VIPs will also see Shrinking Retracements and Overbought/Oversold as TradeFinder filters, not just watchlists.

The embedded TV is the next priority, followed by the Journal app calculator. Then the charts upgrade and by popular demand, the broker API. Lots to do!

Many of these game-changing upgrades will be made in time for the London Stocks Summit on December 2nd

Events:

Our Stocks Summit in London on 2nd December will be the most practical ever, and with the most bonuses ever.

Each session will have a practical exercise for you to complete, so you can build your confidence in finding the exact type of setup you want to focus on. These practicals will include Market Timing and specific stock strategies, and will only take 15-minutes for you to complete. This will give you the confidence to use our tools to their maximum potential while saving you huge amounts of time.

We’ll have the Foundation Day online the Saturday before the big event so we can focus on more of these practicals during the event.

Remember, you can play the video at 1.25x or 1.5x speed if you want to save time! I have placed all the stocks covered in today’s review in your “Latest Preview” watch list.
