POP goes the weasel? :smile:

If we get a breakout, I may have to push ESD onto the S-Fund a day early.

In addition, ALPAFS isn't far off from going bullish, we just need a bit more momentum to make it happen.

Are you referring to a breakout above the upper resistance line of SPX close to 2062?

Yes, but we really need a close above this line, and some confirmation, it's all good

JTH-ALPAFS, IFT EoB Today, from 100F to 100S

With a fresh set of breakouts, all 4 indexes have flipped over to a buy.

JTH-ESD, IFT EoB Today, from 100F to 100S

I see no reason to wait an extra day, so I'm moving the system into the S-Fund 1-day early

 

[JTH]

Had to cut it short again, but I should get back into the battle rhythm this week

Watching the futures today, I was sure the markets were going to bomb, buy hey what do I know? Anyways there's an interesting divergence in the large vs. small caps today.

I don't think that symbol is working today...use $dwcpf and it's up 0.54% today, and that jives with the $rut which was up 0.74% today.

One notable thing to me today was the SPX closing above the Bollinger band; that's usually followed by a reversal, but not always if it just wants to ride the band higher. For the moment, I'm glad to have exited today, but the bulls sure have an opportunity here to charge on up to new record highs in the coming days.

It appears to be doing the exact opposite today, this is the 3rd time in a month we've gotten corrupted data out of $EMW from charting services. I checked with Wilshire today, W4500 did indeed close up on Monday.

IFT EoB today from 100C to 100F

Taking a 2-day breather, I need a break...

Another strange day today, from my perspective market behavior is transforming, but into what I do not know.

Originally planned on jumping into the S-Fund today, I may wait till Monday, but for now, I'll make the decision right up to the IFT deadline.

I was thinking Monday unless we had a big down day today, although the NASDAQ is tumbling a bit. My 50% F fund holding did me no favors yesterday.
If you jump I'll jump. :laugh:

Yea I don't have much love for this specific setup, Monday has bad Day-of-Week stats, so this may be the better play, but at the end of the day, I'm going in (for better or for worse)

Today

JTH IFT EoB Today, from 100F to 100S.

Didn't really want to go in today on a Friday, but in the long-term view this is the plan I made, so emotions need to be set aside.

OBTW, the PnF charts are still bullish across SPX/W4500/TRAN/NDX and the ESD stats will remain in the S-Fund for the Month.

50/50 CS
You got more love of the S fund than I

Hi JTH: Earnings....Shmearnings... I keep thinking we're starting to see a pullback, then whamo....not so much....the action still seems choppy and sideways.. I'm out till May anyway but I wouldn't buy until we either crossover 2101, or until we see a sustained downtrend under 2037. At least I can play the pivots and seasonality even with this insane CB and oil intervention. If oil continues up, I'm guessing we see new highs soon despite the bad earnings. Best to all you guys!
