Details: Last week’s majority sentiment from the survey was 55.0% Higher, and the Crowd Forecast Indicator prediction was 60% Chance Higher; the S&P500 closed 0.07% Higher for the week. This week’s majority sentiment from the survey is 58.6% predicting Higher with a greater average confidence from those who are predicting Higher. Similar conditions have occurred 45 times in the previous 323 weeks, with the majority sentiment (Higher) being correct 60% of the time and with an average S&P500 move of 0.26% Higher for the week. Based on that history, the TimingResearch Crowd Forecast Indicator is forecasting a 60% Chance that the S&P500 is going to move Higher this coming week.

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.

“Higher” Respondent Answers:

• President Trump putting Americans to work!
• year-end rally
• Best six months of the year historically
• still finishing wave 5
• Last week finished on a upswing >> but last year saw me lose 25% in the last week. // I’m becoming “Bah, humbug” when Christmas is on the horizon.
• liquidity reelection
• Unemployment
• historic.
• The robust jobs report should prompt the market to continue up, perhaps at a steeper climb.
• Earnings and Momentum
• fundamentals
• Correction over and into the Santa Rally

“Lower” Respondent Answers:

• The economy in all stats is receding. The trade war will end with no winners, only losers. The job numbers are up, because 300,000 people are reaching the age 65 every month. The number of jobs is down over 25,000 each month. The wages are up because of the increases in the minimum wages. The stock market is up only because of stock buybacks by the companies.
• china will not make a deal that is acceptable
• Resistance
• It will always go up as FED and Treasury are supporting trump so that his calls and longs make billions for him plus to show of his treacherous popularity. Whatever we do this market is bound to forever go up and Trump n his billionaiore team is making a billion per week out of all. All our views or tech readings are worthless now. Trump is making his fortunes while he shows off how big he is. Fed is pumping billions each day so what stand shorts stand>
• Needs a 2nd leg down before a final new high, and then a collapse.
• Profit taking and tax loss selling will dominate the market.
• Global monetary issues.
