S&P500 Short Term Market Breadth Analog Forecast Starting Aug 3, 2015

By Lawrence

Review of Forecast for Jul 27, 2015


Initial gap down was contained within 0.5% and the forecasted mild 1% bounce took place right after. No trend expectation panned out nicely as S&P moved back to the midpoint of the week before. End of week mild bearish bias also worked out even though initial reaction to FOMC announcement looked like it can force the market higher. The breadth analog model did an excellent job last week.

Short Explanation About The Model


My market breadth based analog model takes into account the short term volatility, daily market breadth readings and a few other intraday breadth data to identify the current market conditions. Using the information, the model then went through the historical data over the past 20 years to generate its statistical analysis. The model has been pretty good at identifying important swing tops and bottoms over the past few years by providing early warnings about potential volatility upticks.
