The S&P 500 (SPY)

SPY Weekly Chart - Stock Market Forecast

The S&P pump started again in earnest on Tuesday and basically hasn't done anything since. If we turn lower on Monday, it would solidify the lower high I have been forecasting. We are so close to the highs that I would suspect there will be some attempt at a breakout, even if it is short-lived.

The S&P 500 (SPY)

Spy Weekly Chart - Stock Market Forecast

All the waiting and watching has paid off nicely as the S&P has topped and started to trend lower in earnest. This "break" will freak some folks out, but I still believe my forecast will prove true that this selling will catch a bid and reverse the market for a short period of time. Once that momentum burns off, a lower high will form, completing a "head and shoulders" pattern, and THEN WE CRASH. Continue reading "Weekly Stock Market Forecast"
