STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant remains long as the bulls runs stocks higher into the 3-day weekend as usually occurs. Markets are closed Monday for MLK Day. The POTUS inauguration is Monday and King Donnie's executive order decrees will impact stocks on Tuesday morning.

The bulls are in control of the stock market with the algo number 23 points above the signal line. Bulls need XRT above 79.62 to prove that they got game for more gains. Despite the Friday rally, bulls fell short of this goal.

Bears need higher volatility and weaker banks and semiconductors. Bears need VIX above 17.29, XLF below 48.57 and/or SOX below 5100. All 3 are firmly in the bull camp so the bears got work to do. In addition, bears likely need 2 of the 3 metrics to turn negative to place the quant in position to go short.

Keybot prints one pre-scheduled number this week on Friday morning. Retail stocks (AMZN, WMT, TGT, etc...), banks, chips and vol are controlling stock market direction currently. Nothing Else Matters.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant flips back to the bullish side yesterday morning at SPX 5920. The choppy whipsaw slop continues. It is nauseating. The robot has flipped five times in only 9 trading days to begin the year. Obviously, the internals of the stock market are erratic and unstable.

The bulls came to play on hump day. They started by wrestling Uncle Vix to the ground and holding him down. At the same time, the bulls pumped the chips and banks and it was off to the races with an upside orgy. The bulls are in charge of the stock market with the algo number 25 points above the signal line.

Bulls need stronger retail stocks to prove that they got game going forward. Higher utilities would also help the bull case. Bulls need XRT above 79.65. If this occurs, the bulls will be sending the stock market higher. If XRT 79.65 does not occur, the stock market likely does not have much upside ahead.

Bears had to run for their lives yesterday or get run over by the bull orgy. They need to reverse the key metrics that slapped them silly; vol, chips and banks. Bears need VIX above 17.29, SOX below 5076 and/or XLF below 48.50. Chips are rallying in Europe so that will probably keep them in the bull camp. Bank yearnings continue so bears would need bad news to weaken the XLF. Looks like the bears only hope may be hoisting volatility and pushing banks lower if they want to get the stock market ball back.

On the last trade that ran for a week, the quant program and actual trading post more marginal losses. For the year thus far, that is only a couple weeks along, the benchmark S&P 500 is up a percent while the quant program is down -4% and the actual trading generated by the quant is down about -3%. The year is off and stumbling. The whipsaw price action is chewing up bulls and bears alike and spitting them out. Keybot exited RWM and entered IVV.

In the pre-market, VIX slips under 16 to 15.98 so the bulls cheer. XLF is rising to 49.64 so the bulls throw more confetti. SMH is gaining +2%. The bears are crying in their cafe latte. In this crazy whipsaw market, however, anything can happen. Markets are closed for Martin Luther King Jr Day on Monday, and the inauguration. Stocks typically rally into a 3-day holiday weekend.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short with the algo number 19 points below the signal line. The bears are in charge but there are lots of balls in the air. The negativity in stocks on Friday is because the 'chips are down'. SOX tried to rally in the afternoon but kept petering out. That is why you did not see a late-day rally in stocks into the closing bell.

A new week is ahead so obviously the bulls and bears will pick up where they left off; fighting over semiconductors. SOX 5076 is the bull/bear line in the sand and price is down at 5037 in the bear camp creating stock market negativity. Bulls need SOX above 5076 or they got nothing.

Bulls also need XRT above 79.94 and/or VIX below 17.05. Bulls likely need 2 of the 3 parameters to turn bullish to put the quant in position to flip long.

Bears need to keep the chips and retail stocks weak, while pushing volatility higher, and at the same time attacking utilities and the NYA index. The quant is tracking UTIL 958 and NYA 18830 as important lines in the sand. Both of these levels represent extremely bad outcomes for the stock market. If both fail, it will be Armageddon.

So that is an exciting set-up for the week ahead that prints one pre-scheduled number on Friday morning. Bears are cruising and need UTIL below 958 and/or NYA below 18.8K to send the stock market lower fast. The blood will be flowing on Wall and Broad. The bulls want none of that and instead need to rally semiconductors and retail stocks while pushing the VIX below 17.05 pronto. Who will win? There are Winners and Losers every day in the big city. Life's a gamble, and you might lose.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips short this morning at SPX 5955 as the relentless whipsaw slop continues in 2025. It is sickening price action. Choppy markets chew-up bulls and bears alike and wreak havoc on algorithms. This morning started with euphoric bull joy.

The algo number popped to +46 and the orgy was on. But as the first hour of trading played out, the bulls fell on their sword and had to say goodbye. Banks, retail stocks and volatility jump into the bear camp sending stocks lower. This price action the last 4 days, to begin the year, has never been seen in the 16-year history of the quant. The bulls may have to become good at Saying Goodbye.

The bears are in charge but the algo number is only 2 measly points below the signal line (anything can happen). Focus on banks and volatility. XLF 48.61 and VIX 17.03 are the bull/bear lines in the sand that dictate who wins. Both are bearish (weaker banks, higher volatility) so the bulls need either metric to join their side and that will stop the stock market selling. Bulls got nothing going forward unless they can push VIX below 17.03. Check it in the morning and you will know what will happen during the day before it happens.

Bears need weaker copper if they want to create a strong downleg for stocks. Bears need CPER below 26.09 and all Hell will break loose in the stock market. This represents a -0.4% drop in copper futures. If you see copper futures down more than -0.4%, that means the bears are going to start slapping bulls around.

On the last trade that ran for a day, the chop suey does not taste good, the quant program and actual trading each lose less than a percent. For the year thus far, after four sh*tty days of whipsaw choppy slop, the benchmark SPX is up a percent. The quant program is down about three percent and the actual trading begins the year down a couple percent. Hey Keybot the Quant, you are supposed to be going up, not down. Quiet down, peanut gallery. There is 12 months of fun ahead so there will be lots of twists and turns. Keybot exited QQQ and entered RWM. The Twist. Come on little baby, do the twist. Twist & Shout. C'mon, baby, work it on out, twist little girl, you twist so fine.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips to the long side yesterday morning at SPX 5988. The bulls came to play yesterday pumping semiconductors. The choppy whipsaw slop continues in 2025. It's a Wild Wild Life.

Copper, retail stocks and banks were pumped higher creating yesterday's stock market joy as the first full week of trading in 2025 is underway. New money comes in to start the year especially during the first five days; that ends tomorrow. The chop suey price action is likely due to a battle between the new money coming in versus the sellers on the way out that waited for January so they do not have to think about the tax gains until next year.

The bulls are in charge of the stock market with the algo number 21 points above the signal line. The caution flag remains out since the price action thus far this year is erratic and unstable so anything can happen at the wink of an eye.

The bulls need stronger copper and banks to catapult stocks higher to the huge price targets set by Wall Street analysts. Bulls need CPER above 26.09, which will occur this morning by the looks of the copper futures, and/or XLF above 48.62. XLF is at 48.50 right now in the pre-market. So bulls should receive more upside juice in stocks due to happy copper and the jury is out if the banksters will provide more equity pumpage.

Bears need to reverse the happiness in copper and drive the red metal lower. Ditto with banks. At the same time, the bears need XRT below the 79.97 palindrome, and VIX above 17.03, to position the quant to flip short. Bears got nothing unless they can get the VIX up over 17 heading higher.

On the last trade, that ran for only a couple days, the quant program loses -1.5% and the actual trading loses -0.4%. The trading loss was not as bad as the algo program because there is robust buying appearing in the inverse ETF's. The huge amount of money in ETF's, and how it all can shift on a dime, makes you stop and think. For the year thus far, the benchmark S&P 500 index, that is the US stock market, is up +2%. The quant program is down -3% and the actual trading begins the year down a couple percent after three losing trades. The robot starts the year short, and flips long, then short again, now long again. Chop suey. You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out....do the Hokey Pokey and turn yourself around, that's what its all about. Everybody now! Keybot the Quant exited DOG, that was a dog trade, and entered QQQ.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION -- TURN MAY BE IMMINENT

Keybot the Quant remains short but is champing at the bit to jump back on the long side with the algo number 11 points above the signal line. The chop suey year continues with erratic and unstable price action.

The bulls need to push the SPX above 5949 for Keybot the Quant to likely flip long. That is only +7 points higher in the futures that are now trading up +4 on Sunday evening on the East Coast. The bulls are so close to taking over control, they can smell it. The turn may be imminent.

Bears need weaker chips and to push SOX below 5062 to reintroduce stock market negativity. Bears also need VIX above 17.03 or they got buptkis and will fold like a cheap suit.

Bulls can probably flip the model long with +7 SPX points, and stocks would then run higher on stronger retail stocks and banks. Bulls need XRT above 80.00 and/or XLF above 48.63 and stocks will run to the moon. If stocks rally, but retail stocks and banks are negative, that would tell you that the upside may be a fake-out.

Bulls need SPX 5949 and higher to sing a happy tune and likely flip Keybot to the long side, while bears need SOX below 5062 to reintroduce selling pressure. It is a year of choppy slop so far. Keybot prints two pre-scheduled numbers this week both on Friday morning. Who will be the Leader of the Pack?

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short after a Crazy first day of trading in 2025. The robot flipped twice in one day which is very rare behavior and it happened a couple weeks ago as well. The stock market is erratic and unstable. Stocks shot higher out of the gate with new money being put to work in the new year and then it fizzled-out, like a teenager's model rocket launched in the back yard, and everything fell to Earth.

Chips, banks and retail stocks are all that matter. You saw that the VIX did not fall below 17.03 despite the huge rally, so you knew the bullish excitement would not last, and it did not. Keep watching volatility.

The bears are in charge with the algo number 25 points below the signal line but in this choppy slop it probably does not mean much. Bulls need one of these three parameters to turn bullish or they are in big trouble; SOX 5058, XLF 48.60, or RTH 225.50. The robot likely needs 2 of the 3 to turn bullish to be in position to flip back to the long side.

The bears need NYA to fall below 18804, call it 18.8K, and all Hell will break loose with the stock market collapsing. Bulls are okay if they keep NYA above 18.8K, but all hope for longs is lost if it fails.

If you are bearish, you want to see NYA fall below 18.8K which begins market carnage.

If you are bullish, you simply need higher chips, banks, and retail stocks, and lower volatility, to stabilize the stock market, and set up a sustainable rally.

The robot was in the leftover PSQ (inverse ETF) short trade from last year and this was exited and DIA (long ETF) was entered for the long side. The quant exited DIA as stocks collapsed and entered DOG (inverse ETF). For the year thus far, the benchmark SPX is flat (it started the year at 5882). The quant program and actual trading generated by the quant are each down about a percent to begin the year. The robot will remain in single ETF's through Groundhog Day (2/2/25) and if a whipsaw does not occur again, it will cycle into the 2x leveraged ETF's thereafter.

2025 is off and stumbling. Yesterday was a round-trip with people running in different directions but everyone ending up in the same place they started. The House is a Rockin' this year, don't bother knockin', come on in, there's some bad honky-tonker's really laying it down, come on baby, shake somethin' loose.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short as the new year of trading is set to begin. The bears are in charge with the algo number 27 points below the signal line.  The year begins at SPX 5882 with the robot in the PSQ inverse ETF. The algorithm is rezeroed for the year ahead.

Volatility, banks, retail stocks and semiconductors soiled themselves this week creating the stock market weakness. The hot battle now is the VIX 17.03 bull/bear line in the sand. It is uber important with bears winning above, like now at 17.35, but bulls will win below 17.03.

Bulls need VIX below 17.03, or XLF above 48.60, or RTH above 225.55, or SOX above 5058, to stop the stock market selling. At least 2 of the 4 will need to flip bullish to position the robot to go long.

Bears need to keep the above parameters bearish and at the same time pull NYA below 18804 or GTX below 3580.

If utilities fail, with UTIL dropping below 955, the stock market will likely crash.

Bulls must crush volatility while exalting banks, retail stocks and chips. Bears must push commodities, utilities and the NYA index lower to create market carnage. Let the festivities begin.

Traders wonder if a big shakedown is coming in the stock market. Well, it's been a long time comin'. Investors and traders made a lot of dough on the long side in 2024 and may want to immediately lock-in the profits in 2025, and not be liable for the tax bill for another year (instead of selling in December). January may be epic. A Shakedown in Berlin.

Keybot the Quant Turn Signals During 2024

Keybot the Quant flips direction 33 times during 2024 resulting in a +18% return. As good as that is, the benchmark S&P 500 index, the SPX, the United States stock market, gains +23% in 2024 outperforming the quant by 5 percentage-points.

The SPX chart shows the long (green) and short (red) turns for the robot during 2024. The SPX ran from the lower left at 4770 to the upper right at 5882. The new year 2025 begins at SPX 5882 with the quant on the short side in the PSQ ETF.

Keybot the Quant Logs Another Successful Year with +18% Return

Keybot the Quant logs another successful year gaining +17.5% versus the benchmark SPX that is up a humongous +23.3% for back-to-back big years for the stock market. The quant remains short to begin 2025 remaining in the PSQ inverse ETF. The algorithm is rezeroed for the new year ahead that begins at SPX 5882.
