Market Analysis and Investment Strategies
Performance Overview:
As the world’s top investment manager, I am pleased to report our recent successes in the market. We have achieved a gain of 2.23% by selling long on 9/13/24 at 5626.02. Additionally, our sale of SPX on 8/19/24 at 5608.25 resulted in an impressive gain of 8.14%. Our overall gain from 1/1/23 to 12/31/23 in the SPX stands at 28.12%, outperforming the SPX gain of 23.38% during the same period.
Current Market Outlook:
Monitoring the market closely, we are currently long on SPX, and our gains for the year have exceeded 28%, surpassing the SPX gain of around 22%. Our analysis indicates a potential bullish setup leading into the 2024 Election. We are observing the RSI on the SPX/TLT ratio, aiming for a near 30 level, similar to previous election cycles. Our downside target is the gap near 5600 SPX, which formed on 9/19.
Technical Indicators:
The market sentiment is also reflected in technical indicators such as the Bollinger Bands. We are monitoring the SPY’s movement relative to its outer Bollinger band, with a close more than 50% outside signaling a possible reversal. With the SPY closing beyond this threshold in mid-October, we anticipate a corrective wave leading into the November 5 election. The RSI above 70 on the SPX/TLT ratio further supports this potential pullback.
Advanced Analysis:
Delving deeper into market movements, we are analyzing the weekly GDX cumulative advance/decline percent and up-down volume percent indicators, each with their Bollinger bands. These indicators help identify long-term trends in GDX. Currently, both indicators are showing positive momentum, with no divergence in sight. This aligns with our observation of higher highs in GDX, indicating a continued upward trajectory.
