Mornin all...
The S&P 500 triggered a rare technical event yesterday, gapping above both its 50D and 200D moving averages simultaneously.
This looked weird to me, so I did some digging.
Since 1950, this specific signal has occurred only four times. In every instance, the index faced significant pullbacks shortly after. The average three month drawdown following the signal is -9.51%, with the worst three month drawdown reaching -12.92% during 2018.
We shall see.
The futures are red across the board with the DOW implied down 210.
Profit taking from yesterday? Or a sign that yesterday was an unrealistic hope surge?
We shall see.
Tensions are still high in the Middle East, as can be expected.
Best we can do is watch what they do with this open.
Keep an eye on COHR
