Bigworld, In addition to RSI for the main stock indices, another indicator I'm using is the $VIX, since when its RSI approaches or reaches overbought (RSI of 70), this has consistently identified stock market bottoms (see below). The $VIX had an RSI reading over 70 yesterday, and is currently ~ 68, so this suggests that a near term bottom could be near.
I figure a lot will depend upon Israel's response to the Iranian bombing. Since the US has told Netanyahu pretty bluntly that the US will not support his retaliatory efforts, it seems doubtful that he'll do anything really big. Who knows, but I figure that after a few more days the financial markets will go back to concentrating more on corporate earnings. Anyway, I re-upped my stock allocation to 20%, so will go with that for now. I figure a conservative approach might be 12.5% as Core (LT buy/hold), and 7.5% as Flex, but still a 'work in progress'.
