Opportunities all week for Bears to take it down even more but they just could not. So, when it is not going down then it 

has to go up. Seasonally Bullish holiday week -- so I think there could be new ATHs in SPX, possibly NQ also. 

 

BUT.... it is the POLITICAL ANALYSIS that is driving this market recently so unless it is quiet on that front, expect 

more nervous jagged market behavior. There seems to be more anxiety about the incumbent ..... strange year, when even stranger things can happen !

 

Another profitable week, my best trading period ever has been this September to now, and I have learned too many lessons during past 33 years to take too many risks since this market can punish you painfully. 

 

So, I want to finish November in a cautious mode, and ditto for December, but I forecast a wild & cray December & January.

 

Holding only 4 SPY JAN PUTS in LT & RISK portfolios 

 

Will buy by the tons if market declines by more than 3 to 5%, will gradually open longs on any decline.... maybe this holiday week will be the exception as has been this year so except a big drop! Doubt it.................

Have a great weekend! After breaking out, #ES_F spent 2 weeks now consolidating into a clean pennant. Decision time now Plan next week: 3530 & 3500 are supports. If they hold, a breakout of the pennant to 3660 & 3720 is in play. Warning though: 3500 fails we sell to 3455 & 3390

Note: I would like lower ideally to start the week to 3530 or 3500 as shown. At 3500 this pennant would morph into a falling wedge which would be a sufficient pattern to take this to those higher targets. It is also the "last chance" pattern before what would be deeper selling

With the #market extended, overbought, and a very high level of #stocks above the 200-dma, taking a bit of #risk off the table makes sense. As noted by

@DougKass

momentum chasers are ignoring the #risk of high prices. https://realinvestmentadvice.com/risk-exceeds-reward-why-we-took-profits-11-20-20/

Replying to @DougKass

Does not seasonality / typical year-end behavior favor bulls here? Especially after the October decline into the election? There is also the argument that volatility was overbought going into the election and that it is likely to collapse further going into December.

Be careful in going too far back in history to discuss seasonality. It changes. See https://mcoscillator.com/learning_center/weekly_chart/how_seasonality_has_changed/….

Active managers are so bullish they're leveraged long. Instead of assuming that's a contrarian negative, let's take 30 seconds to check. The avg return 3 months later was 5%, with the 3 precedents all being higher, so.

Will they also sell this rally on Monday? 

Expect a surge of good vaccine news....

We Now Have Confirmation That It's Full Speed Ahead for this Secular Bull Market

Tom Bowley |  November 20, 2020 at 10:36 PM

 

I'm going to keep this article short and sweet. We're going higher.

If you're still convinced that the U.S. stock market is staring at a doom-and-gloom environment, I don't know what to say. Several months ago, I created a User-Defined Index, my "Pandemic Index", to track the worst-performing indexes during the pandemic. This index of the WORST groups just broke out. Here's the chart:

The hard-hit pandemic industries like airlines, hotels, etc., are rebounding. You can bury your head in the sand if you'd like, but the truth is the truth. The worst-performing groups in March and April are now showing leadership, and that is incredibly bullish, in my view. A secular bull market requires wide participation, so I didn't believe true confirmation would arrive until my Pandemic Index broke out. Well, it broke out. The above chart shows that the S&P 500 is trading just beneath where it was at the early-September high. The Pandemic Index is well above its early-September level and it just cleared its high from June.

One lagging group in March and April is now leading the charge. It's hotels ($DJUSLG). The more industry groups that break out, the more bullish it is for U.S. equities. Hotels broke out with the vaccine news last Monday. Check it out:
