TimingResearch Crowd Forecast Prediction: 55% Chance Lower

This indicator prediction is an attempt by the editor of this newsletter to use the full 3+ 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 was strongly Higher, and the Crowd Forecast Indicator prediction was 58% Chance Higher; the S&P500 ended up 0.20% for the week. This week’s majority sentiment is strongly Higher with a higher average confidence on the bearish side. Similar conditions have been observed 31 times in the previous 169 weeks, with the majority sentiment being correct only 45% of the time with an average S&P500 move for the week of down 0.51% during those weeks.
