TimingResearch Crowd Forecast Prediction: 54% 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 52.2% predicting Higher, and the Crowd Forecast Indicator prediction was 57% chance Higher; the S&P500 closed 1.34% Higher for the week. This week’s majority sentiment from the survey is 72.2% predicting Higher (highest percentage in almost a year) but with a much greater average confidence from those who are predicting Lower. Similar conditions have occurred 41 times in the previous 348 weeks, with the majority sentiment (Higher) being correct 57% of the time but with an average S&P500 move of 0.24% Lower for the week. 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.
