TimingResearch Crowd Forecast Prediction: 52% Chance Higher
This prediction is an attempt by the editor of this newsletter to use the full 6+ 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 51.5% predicting Higher, and the Crowd Forecast Indicator prediction was 64% chance Higher; the S&P500 closed 0.16% Lower for the week. This week’s majority sentiment from the survey is 65.5% predicting Higher with a much greater average confidence from those who are predicting Lower. Similar conditions have occurred 25 times in the previous 327 weeks, with the majority sentiment (Higher) being correct only 52% of the time but with an average S&P500 move of 0.51% Lower for the week. Based on that history, the TimingResearch Crowd Forecast Indicator is forecasting a 52% Chance that the S&P500 is going to move Higher this coming week.

NOTE: The following open-ended answers are solely the opinions of the anonymous respondents to this survey. Responses are mostly unedited, but some have been reformatted slightly for to make them easier to read. Some irrelevant responses (e.g. “none”), or anything obviously fake, or copy and pasted responses have been omitted. All-caps responses have been changed to all lowercase. All responses for each week, unedited, are available in the raw data spreadsheets at TimingResearch.com/data.

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:

• Most indicators are positive and I believe that the Iran issue will not be a factor since it didn’t effect the market this last Friday.
• trend
• The general direction up to elections is higher. However Brexit, China-trade and other possibilities with countries may create choppy waves. Professional and institutional traders are back from vacations so they’ll be looking for the next big buys.
• Best six months of year historically
• Trump is in the White House!
• I think the Sp500 needs to be high
• 5G
• wave 5 still continues
• The world will understand that we are not the same country Obama ruined, but rather one “that does what it says it will do.”
• Technicals
• Jan affect
• rebound

“Lower” Respondent Answers:

• Trend up continues
• MiddleEasturest
• conflict with Iran
• Threats from Iran and other middle eastern terrorists create market uncertainty. Perhaps a retaliatory strike against the US or allies ratchets up the possibility of a more heated conflict.
• tension in golf
• Unease with geopolitical situation re: Iraq/Iran/USA
• Trend in US D0llar d0wn
• Iran and weak nations complaining.
• It was a fine leg up from early October to very recently. Now, it’s time for some retracing, given all the uncertainty, an appropriate time for profit-taking, and a MACD negative divergence.
• world in turmile

Though, those criminals do still exist > they will be forced to submit, once nobody is interested in their game anymore. /// We are changing fields/venues >> and the old guard is not invited. Glad they could skim our billions while it was working, but now nobody wants to listen to their bought politicians. // Just read where John McAffee wants to put jerseys on them, representing the corporations they are beholden to >> just like Nascar does. I think this all hilarious >> and I hope someone read through this diatribe for the fun of it. // In reality, I don’t think there’s 40 years left ..we’ve spoiled what was given to us, all in the name of pride and greed. Thanks!!
