COMMENTARY
US markets ran into some heavy selling last week, indicated by downward price action with higher trading volumes. The updated market outlook has a lot of red in it, but that’s not surprising since we’re only a few weeks away from the start of the latest medium-term uptrend. The 200-day moving averages are higher than then 50-day moving averages, which normally occurs after a heavy sell-off like the one the US markets encountered in late August and September.
That said, this latest sell-off means we’re one step closer to the end of the current bull market in US equities. According to OEW, the markets have one more rally in them. The S&P500 is expected to make new highs (2134+) before it’s over, which is ~5% from Friday’s close. After that point, we’re on borrowed time.
Prepare accordingly!
