S&P testing support

The S&P closed the week on the 21 day moving average (the yellow line on the chart). It was down 5% this week, which started on a full moon. Back in March, when the index went above the yellow line, it has stayed above it(21ema), during this 2 month rally. If it goes below this line, that will trigger a short term sell signal, and next support will be at 850/825. If we stay above this yellow line, the rally will continue to 935/950.

Bradley Model

The 2009 Bradley Model said this rally would start on Feb. 8th., it missed it by a month. This rally started on March 9th. It did get the scope of the rally correct and says we will top out on July 14 or 15, give or take a few weeks, maybe even a month again. Then it says look for a 50% pullback mid to late summer. I have been using the Bradley Model for years and is uncanny accurate. I have also noticed that IF the market is going to change direction, it usually happens within a few weeks of Quad Ex(Mar, Jun, Sept, Dec options expiration).

Beware of the Full moon

We have a full moon this coming Thursday/Friday. How many times have we seen the market change direction around a full moon? More times than I can count!
