  • Overall, we remain slightly bullish, but we will be watching the short-term trends and indicators.
Investors should be cautious and should look for sell-offs to add to equity positions.  Traders may look to the short side if the market accelerates to the downside.  It is often difficult to predict turning points, but our intermediate-term model has had a good track record as documented by our blog.
