Weekly Forecast and Trade Ideas Report for February 11th
“We are super oversold on many measures we look at so a bounce early next week seems likely, but we would still expect more downside ahead over the next 3-4 weeks as most likely, so be careful not to get sucked into a brief bounce.” February 4th Weekend Report and Forecast
This past week SRP (Swing Trade and Forecast) members were kept up to date on a daily pre-market basis as always on the state of the markets with our forecast models on the SP 500 and other ETF’s. We correctly projected the ABC correction pattern and had projected a B Wave top into Wednesday morning’s report, a C wave drop we said could get to 2543 area and the low was 2532 for a 12% correction so far in two weeks.
Our Wednesday Projection played out:
This type of rapid two week decline is extremely rare, normally they are 4 -6 weeks for shallow corrections and 6-10 for larger corrections in terms of intermediate movements. The reason it was so sharp and so fast is because the Wave 3 pattern we discussed recently was a 200% extension of Wave 1, and it was hyper extended. Sentiment readings for Bulls were through the roof to boot, and a sentiment correction was long overdue.
So this weekend we will just summarize a few indicators that helped us to project a low late in the week and then we went long 300% leverage the QQQ ETF on Friday as well, but still 90% in cash. We were 85% in cash going into the initial major Friday crash of February 2nd, mostly because we didnt replace sold out positions with new positions. We felt the market was too toppy and best to take gains, more on that later.
Here is the updated SP 500 chart where we saw the washout to the 200 day moving average line, a Fibonacci pivot of the 1810-2873 2 year rally, and other ABC patterns that lined up for a low Friday. We can see a bounce now maybe to 2740 area on the SP 500 ahead, but markets could remain tentative here and volatile for a bit.
Other indicators we use are the CNN fear/greed index, sitting at major lows going into Friday. something we showed SRP Members late in the week in the morning report: These readings help determine that a market is nearing a pivot low.
A few others include the NAMO (Nasdaq McClellan Oscillator): We had showed this to SRP members on Friday morning pre market: Partly why we went long Tech stocks via TQQQ for a trade. Lower readings than the Feb 2016 lows in fact!
Finally the NYSE indicator shows % of NYSE stocks above 50 day MA lines, this crashed as well: Readings not far off the 1810 SP 500 lows of February 2016!
So this is the fuel that allows us to project a rally to 2740 possibly on the SP 500 index near term. However, since this correction is only two weeks in, often you can a relief larger B wave rally after the ABC-A drop, and then another onslaught of selling which could take us lower than 2532 lows to 2479 area perhaps in the few weeks ahead. We would expect February to remain volatile and with big swings.
It is possible that the correction ended though because we have Fibonacci retracements of the 1060 point rally from 1810-2873, we have the 200 day MA line tested, we have extreme fear readings and more. So we will take it one day at a time at SRP, and Members will be updated every morning as usual.
We are still 90% cash in our model but will likely be adding some positions in the days ahead. There are still stocks doing well, earnings reports are being met with buyers if they are strong enough. Samples include NVDA, TWTR, and SNAP this past week. However, the risk levels of trying to be a hero into an ABC correction are too high, so we sat on our hands all week until Friday morning. Even then we used a 3x ETF play and not an individual stock at this time.

Market Notes:
Looking for bounce as high as 2740 on SP 500, but possible bigger C wave ahead so we will monitor and advise.
Bulls dropped to 54% in Advisory surveys down from 66% on January 21st. However, Bears still only 15%
Mid caps (MDY ETF) and Small caps (IWM ETF) had double bottoms
NYSE short interest is on the decline. We can read that a few ways, shorts are starting to cover, or investors are still too complacent.
CNN Fear Gauge hit big lows near 8 this week, now still at 10 (100 would be max optimism).
17 New highs, 187 New Lows on NASDAQ Friday, pretty washed out
7 New highs and 271 New Lows on NYSE Friday, wow
