TimingResearch Crowd Forecast Prediction: 65% 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 69.2% predicting Lower, and the Crowd Forecast Indicator prediction was 77% chance Higher; the S&P500 closed 0.67% Lower for the week. This week’s majority sentiment from the survey is 73.1% predicting Lower with a greater average confidence from those who are predicting Lower. Similar conditions have occurred 26 times in the previous 331 weeks, with the majority sentiment (Lower) being correct only 35% of the time and with an average S&P500 move of 0.55% Higher for the week. Based on that history, the TimingResearch Crowd Forecast Indicator is forecasting a 65% 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:

• successfully tested weekly support
• history
• After a big loss on Friday, the powers to be will come out with some new revelation that all is better with the corona virus spread…markets will react and regain some of what was lost
• FOMC
• The slide is over this week.
• Mechanics – what goes down has to go up…

“Lower” Respondent Answers:

• Sentiment has turned bearish (short term)
• Corona virus takes its toll
• The china virus outbreak, january’s negative close at the year open line.
• China re-open financial market after new year’s close. China’s coronavirus has not been contained and the fear of spreading to the world is expanding.
• Coronavirus situation continues to get worse, with a long incubation period leading to uncertainty about containing it. This problem is expanding globally; and it’s too soon to think that it’s about to ease.
• Market is in downside correction. Additional Earnings reports and China to weigh on market.
• market due for another 5% decline
• Following Dow down through support
• coronavirus
• Corona virus Fear
• Well, who would have expected the developing situation involving Coronavirus but this could become the trigger for the onset of the next revession. That means either the stock markets take a sudden crash or a bear market could usher in this inevitable recession. You can never predict exactly when a recession will begin but with a capitalistic economy, you only have boom or bust periods. Capitalism has a way of being a violent economic philosophy, up or down. There is little middle ground. Until the inevitable downturn in the markets materializes, I am locked in the expectation that a downturn is coming. Fact is the markets have been acting irrational for sometime. The correction or crash is inevitable. I patiently wait.
• The needs been stampede awaiting a bottom chart formation / Market pullback to continue until CAPITULATION
• Based on S&P Global Market Intelligence
• January ended up down for the month because of Coronavirus and it will just get worse as the disease spreads.
• Short term trend
• Definitly the corona virus, threating global growth.
