Assessing the technical damage
March 19, 2023 at 13:08 PM EDT
Preface: Explaining our market timing models We maintain several market timing models, each with differing time horizons. The "Ultimate Market Timing Model" is a long-term market timing model based on the research outlined in our post, Building the ultimate market timing model. This model tends to generate only a handful of signals each decade.
The Trend Asset Allocation Model is an asset allocation model that applies trend-following principles based on the inputs of global stock and commodity prices. This model has a shorter time horizon and tends to turn over about 4-6 times a year. The performance and full details of a model portfolio based on the out-of-sample signals of the Trend Model can be found here.
My inner trader uses a trading model, which is a blend of price momentum (is the Trend Model becoming more bullish, or bearish?) and overbought/oversold extremes (don't buy if the trend is overbought, and vice versa). Subscribers receive real-time alerts of model changes, and a hypothetical trading record of the email alerts is updated weekly here. The hypothetical trading record of the trading model of the real-time alerts that began in March 2016 is shown below. 
The latest signals of each model are as follows:
Update schedule: I generally update model readings on my site on weekends. I am also on Twitter at @humblestudent and on Mastodon at @humblestudent@toot.community. Subscribers receive real-time alerts of trading model changes, and a hypothetical trading record of those email alerts is shown here.

Dodged a bulletThe S&P 500 dodged a technical bullet last week when it successfully tested falling trend line support. Had the trend line been violated, the next major support would have been the 200 wma at about 3730.
Even as the bulls breath sighs of relief, they shouldn’t expect a rally to challenge the old highs just yet. The stock market has sustained considerable technical damage. Textbook technical analysis calls for a period of basing before stock prices can rise in a sustainable way.
