The decision to include current trading signals* in last week’s update proved to be very timely, as the SPX remained on a sell signal all week long and dropped 180+ points.

The SPX tested our weekly downside target from the beginning of the week, and finally broke below it on Wednesday. According to Hurst, a properly drawn channel should include about 80% of price extremes. From a practical point of view, in 20% of cases where there’s a sudden, sharp move and price breaks decisively outside of the channel, it will usually find resistance at the higher time frame channel/target. This proved to be the case, as the SPX found support exactly at the monthly downside channel/target.

*Please note that the trading signals are in effect as of the close on Friday and may change as soon as the markets re-open. They are either marked with green/red arrows, or color coded as green/buy, red/sell and yellow/hold. When the current signal is hold, we also include the preceding buy or sell signal (e.g. Buy/Hold or Sell/Hold). Hold signals followed by a buy/sell signal in the direction of the preceding buy/sell signal can be considered for pyramiding the position.
