02/02/2020: Markets were down again for the week on profit taking and Corona Virus Fears. How quickly Investors’ Sentiment changed from Greed to Fear. The S&P 500 Index is almost over-sold on the Short Term and should bounce soon near the Red Line (50-day avg.)
Many Earnings have come out so traders have been selling on the good news. Many Leaders are finally returning to their Green Zones for Money Wave Buys soon. The NASDAQ 100 (QQQ) is the strongest major Index, along with the Tech Fund (XLK). Use your Cash and Buy Investments that are still above their Red Lines for more probable bounces.
Normally the Indices will re-test the recent Highs after this correction is over. The CNN Greed Index has slipped back to 44 from 96 last month.
New Subscribers: The Leaders and strongest Indices are finally returning down to the Green Zones (first time since October, and it is usually every 1-2 months). This should create better bounces up from Money Wave Buy Signals.
For the week the Dow was down 2.55%, the S&P 500 was down 2.14%, and the Nasdaq 100 was down 1.63%. The Long Term Trend on the Stock Markets is UP.
The Inflation Index (CRB) was down 3.10% and is Below the Green Line, indicating Economic Weakness.
Bonds were up 2.69% for the week and are Above the Green Line, indicating Economic Weakness.
The US DOLLAR was down 0.42% for the week and is over-bought.

QUESTION: Mark writes “Thinking now about the medium term for my long term holdings especially in SPY. Is it too late to jump into an Inverse ETF to ward off the correction we are currently experiencing?”
ANSWER: It depends on your time frame…
1. To hedge the SPY for the Short Term, maybe Buy SH or SDS when SPY has Daily Sell Signals (closes below the Pink Line). EXIT Inverse Fund on next SPY Daily Buy.
2. Medium Term: Hedge when SPY is in the Red Zone of this Chart.
3. Long Term: EXIT the SPY when it Closes below the Green Line, and Buy SH when it is Above the Green Line + 80 Relative Strength (like in 2008).
