TimingResearch Crowd Forecast Prediction: 54% Chance Higher
This prediction is an attempt by the editor of this newsletter to use the full 5 year history of data collected from this project to forecast a probability estimate for whether this week’s sentiment is going to be correct and ultimately what the markets will do this coming week.
Details: Last week’s majority sentiment from the survey was 51.4% Lower, and the Crowd Forecast Indicator prediction was 60% Chance Higher; the S&P500 closed 1.47% Higher for the week. This week’s majority sentiment from the survey is 60.0% Higher with a greater average confidence from those who responded Lower. Similar conditions have occurred 37 times in the previous 304 weeks, with the majority sentiment (Higher) being correct 54% of the time and with an average S&P500 move of 0.14% Lower for the week (one of those rare conditions where the markets moved Higher more frequently but the overall average move was Lower). Based on that history, the TimingResearch Crowd Forecast Indicator is forecasting a 54% Chance that the S&P500 is going to move Higher this coming week.

“Higher” Respondent Answers:
• Trend
• There will be a lower interest rate in the USA
• Earning season in line
• There is 86% (as of today) probability that the Fed will lower interest, S&P500 will be heading higher. The probability numbers are from CBOE Fed interest rate futures.

• Positive news form the Fed. Plus earnings upside surprises.

• Price is currently creeping higher, it will do so until it breaks. < (duh on me). On a daily chart, I see divergence for lower. That divergence could go on for days, MTF RSI is above a 21 and 100 MA, it will take a week to see any change to lower.
• Fed
“Lower” Respondent Answers:
• capitol hiss
• struggling and third attmp high now. forming a round and wedging top
• stocks overpriced will stop going up on positive news and the big money will begin distribution
• What’s the magic for going up?
• go up into the fed meeting and then sell off
• The market remains overbought. The market needs some backing and filling to get healthy. This is a very big week for earnings reports.
• The S&P is at the upper Bollinger band, with negative divergences. So, the odds favor a pullback.
• sell the news.
