STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long as the daily stock market drama continues. The algo number is only 4 measly points above the signal line so the bulls are not as strong as prior days. The bulls pumped the banksters last week and the Fed maintained their jack boot on the throat of volatility to make sure stocks remain buoyant to please the wealthy class.

Utilities, volatility and commodities are the three metrics that will determine the fate of the stock market in the days ahead. The bull/bear lines in the sand are UTIL 1078.53, UTIL 1057.60, VIX 17.23 and GTX 3882.48, respectively.

UTIL begins the week at 1070 causing bearishness in markets being under 1079 but also creating bullishness because it is above 1058. One of these two parameters should flinch and that will tell you a lot about stock market direction ahead. Obviously, bulls need UTIL, or DJU, above 1079 because that paves the way to Christmas gifts galore and stock prices making more record highs. If UTIL loses 1058, however, may the Lord have mercy on your soul if you are long the stock market.

VIX begins trading overnight at 15.74. Bears got absolutely nothing unless the VIX climbs above 17.23. Stocks may sell off sharply, but if the VIX remains below 17.23, the selling is meaningless and stocks will recover. If stocks begin selling off and the VIX spikes above 17.23 heading higher, equities will be falling apart.

GTX starts the new week of trading at 3887 only a couple bucks from the line in the sand. It is there if the bears want it. Bulls need to keep GTX above 3882 or they are in big trouble. As commodities go, so goes the stock market.

Thus, mathematicians say thus a lot, that is why we are never invited to the neighborhood barbecue party, the bulls are in control of the stock market and if they can push UTIL above 1078.53, they are golden, with nothing but blue skies, bright flowers, sunshine and unicorns ahead to finish the year.

If UTIL loses 1057.60, or if VIX pops above 17.23, or if GTX loses 3882.48, any 1 of the 3 will do, the quant will be in position to go short. If 1 of the 3 flip into the bear camp, and if the SPX falls below 6801 trending lower, Keybot the Quant will likely flip short. Watch utilities, volatility and commodities and you can probably ignore everything else occurring in the stock market. 

Keybot prints three prescheduled numbers this week, two on Tuesday morning when some jobs data will finally be available that will move markets, and the other on Friday morning. The bulls are trying to choke the bears in the shallow water as Edie sings, "What I Am."

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long as the Fed day plays out. Powell flaps his dovish wings implementing a rate cut and a QE light program so the fans go wild. The wealthy dance with glee knowing they will be rewarded with more wealth in the stock market effortlessly. Such is the crony capitalism filth system.

The robot was very active today spitting out 10 numbers, on the 10th. Utilities and volatility were duking it out all morning long into the Fed meeting when volatility collapsed sending stocks higher. Utilities then jumped on the bull wagon and the SPX never looked back.

Watch the UTIL 1057.60 and VIX 17.26 lines in the sand. Nothing Else Matters. UTIL will begin tomorrow at 1058 so breathe on it and it will fail. VIX has a 15 handle so the Fed is maintaining its jack boot on the throat of Uncle Vix making sure stocks remain buoyant rewarding their wealthy-class masters.

If either metric flips into the bear camp (lower utes or higher vol), the quant will be in position to go short, the imminent turn will be in play, and if the SPX drops below 6825 heading lower, the quant will likely flip short. That is a 62-point drop for the S&P 500 so a tall ask but in these markets, you never know, it may be down there for tomorrow's opening bell. If not, there may be a day or two needed to reset where the bears will have an easier time to flip the model short.

Since the Fed is standing on VIX's chest, the whole enchilada comes down to the utilities. It is surprising that business commentators do not comment on the utes. The UTIL 1057.60 trap-door opened a few times today but the bulls kept closing it to prevent from falling through and snapping their necks. Very bad things will happen if UTIL drops below 1057 heading lower. Today it pierced the veil so tomorrow we see if it continues lower, or, if utes recover higher that will point to joyous stocks ahead for Christmas Day. Jingle Bell Rock.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long so far this sleepy week as everyone waits for the Fed today. Pope Powell will bring the tablets down from On High this afternoon and tell everyone how to trade. The bulls remain in control of the stock market to start the day but the algo number is only 6 points above the signal line that is not much so the caution flag is out (the bears are hiding in the bushes ready to pounce).

Volatility, utilities, banks and commodities are all that matter. Ignore everything else. VIX pops above the bull/bear line in the sand at 17.27 creating a soggy start to the day. Watch this closely since it is a rudder controlling market direction. VIX is at 17.31 creating bearishness in the stock market but only by a hair.

UTIL is at 1060 and disaster will occur for stocks at the 1057 bull/bear line in the sand and lower. The bulls kept it above this week hoping that Pope Powell will deliver a sermon today that creates joy and happiness in stocks. Watch UTIL, or DJU, closely because a potential crash will be on the table going forward if 1057 fails.

For the financials, XLF 52.87 is the line in the sand and price is at 53.32 in the pre-market so the banksters are another game of dollars and pennies. Stocks will fall apart if XLF 52.87 fails. JPM took the pipe yesterday afternoon.

GTX 3884 is the commodities line in the sand and price is at 3915 creating bullishness. Bears need weaker commodities.

Thus, volatility is in the bear camp wanting the day to turn ugly. UTIL, XLF and GTX are in the bull camp wanting the good times to roll along. Bears need weaker utes, banks and commodities to drive the stock market into Hell. The bulls simply need VIX back below 17.27 and the good times will continue for stocks.

If VIX remains bearish, and 1 of the other 3 metrics flip bearish, consider the turn to the short side to be on the table and imminent, and if the SPX falls below 6837 trending lower, Keybot the Quant will likely flip short, but you have to wait and see what Pope Powell and the 1's and 0's say.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant remains long with the algo number 22 points above the signal line. The bulls are trying to keep stocks buoyant into the Fed meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday with the rate decision and Chairman Powell presser on Wednesday afternoon. Typically, stocks are up 80% of the time the couple days in front of a Fed meeting (Tuesday and Wednesday). Thus, if the bears want to growl, they will likely need to bring it out of the gate tomorrow.

Utilities, volatility and banks are running the show right now. Everything else is noise. UTIL 1088.74 and UTIL 1056 are two key bull/bear line in the sand to watch this week. UTIL begins at 1078 that will create negativity in equities since it is below the 1089. Stocks will fall apart if UTIL 1056 fails.

For next week, 12/15/25, UTIL 1089 will be meaningless and replaced with 1078.53 for all of that week. Lo and behold, since saying lo and behold seems appropriate this time of year, lo and behold, you can already see that battle shaping-up. At 4 PM EST Friday, check UTIL, or DJU, to see if it is above or below 1078.53 since that will tell you the bias of the stock market ahead of time for the week of 12/15/25.

VIX 17.22 is the bull/bear line in the sand with price at 15.41 so stocks rally higher. Bears need the VIX above 17.22 to growl, otherwise, they got buptkis.

XLF 52.77 is the bull/bear line in the sand with price at 53.68 so stocks rally higher. Bears need the XLF below 52.77 to growl, otherwise, they got buptkis. You can check XLF in the premarket to see if it is down -1.7% to cause stock market trouble, or not.

UTIL 1089 is helping bears. UTIL 1056, VIX 17.22 and XLF 52.77 are helping bulls and the reason the stock market remains buoyant. With any selloff occurring going forward, you can gauge the extent of downside damage by those 3 metrics.

If stocks sell off, but VIX is still below 17.22, bears got nothing and stocks will rally again. If all three metrics fail, a broad stock market crash will be on the table. The quant likely needs 2 of those 3 metrics to turn bearish to flip short. Another possibility would be if UTIL pops above 1089, but then slips back below a short time later, then back above, then below, rinse and repeat, these jog moves above and below UTIL 1089 would likely walk the robot towards flipping short.

It should be an interesting week ahead. Keybot does not print any prescheduled numbers this week. The stock market is Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant remains long as the bulls and bears bloody each other in this Christmas season. The bears fight back and pull utilities and volatility into their camp but alas, volatility already runs back to the bull camp. The bulls remain in control of the stock market with the algo number 26 points above the signal line.

Utes, volatility, and banks are running the show so watch UTIL 1109.48, VIX 17.23, and XLF 52.67. The failure in the utilities is ominous for the stock market going forward. Keep watching to see if UTIL, or DJU, remains under 1109, that will be trouble, and especially if it falls below 1089 by the end of the week. Utes are creating market negativity but the VIX and XLF create positivity.

The Fed has its jackboot on the throat of Uncle Vix holding him to the ground so stocks can remain buoyant. The VIX is now at 16.95 in the early morning falling below 17. The bulls want to maintain control but will fall apart if the VIX moves above 17.23.

The banksters are teasing the XLF line in the sand, again. Each time the banks are ready to roll over, the happy dip-buyers buy with both fists. Today will be another test. Price ended yesterday at 52.89 only pennies from the bear camp at 52.67 that will create stock market angst. In the premarket, XLF pops to 52.97. Do you think the bulls are sweating? Yes they are already trying to keep the banksters heads above water.

If utilties remain negative, and either VIX or XLF turn negative, consider the caution flag to be out. If both metrics jump into the bear camp, consider the imminent turn to the downside to be in play for the quant.

The bears can take it if they want it; they need to turn volatility and banks bearish and pull the SPX below 6800 and that will likely be enough to flip the robot short. VIX is at 16.88 and XLF is at 52.98. The stock market is bipolar so some Lithium is in order. Kurt cracked.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant is long with the algo number a big 54 points above the signal line. November ends with the bears lying behind the dumpster in the alleyway; beaten severely by the bulls that did not show mercy.

December trading begins as the 2025 year draws to a close with only 21 trading days remaining.

The bears can show signs of life if they push the VIX above 17.23, or the GTX (commodities) below 3863, or UTIL under 1109.48, or XLF under 52.65. If none of the metrics want to join the bears, stocks will go up to new record highs and the bear beatings will continue until moral improves. Will it be A Long December for the bears, or for the bulls?

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant remains long as the bulls deliver the final blow to the bears bringing low volatility into their camp sending stocks higher into Thanksgiving Day. The bulls are clearly in charge with the algo number 59 points above the signal line. The bears were massacred this week.

Bulls are taking stocks higher without a care in the world. Watch the VIX 17.23 line in the sand. Price keeps dancing below but only by pennies so this will be the first battle tomorrow morning for the shortened trading session in the US.

Bears need weaker commodities, banks, utilities, chips and retail stocks. Watch GTX 3859, XLF 52.55 and UTIL 1109. Bears got nothing but if you see VIX pop back above 17.32, and then the GTX, XLF and/or UTIL rejoining the bear camp, you will know the bears are battling back.

The retail stocks help create the rally this week, as well as happy Google/Broadcom AI hype, plus the Hassett rally where the kiss-*ss has the inside track for the Federal Reserve chairman position. Hassett is King Donnie's lackey so he will lower rates no matter what and that will send boatloads of money into the stock market rewarding the rich Americans that own stocks. Don't you love the crony capitalism filth? The minute the Hassett news hit the market, the buy buttons were pressed non-stop. Three cheers for crony capitalism filth!! Hurray! Yippee! Get yours before there is nothing left.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant is long. Happy Thanksgiving. The bears ate too much turkey because the tryptophan put them to sleep. The bulls came to play this week right out of the gate on Monday morning bludgeoning the bears.

Retail stocks are pumped higher. Ditto chips. Ditto the banksters that join the Thanksgiving holiday party. This morning, the commodities do not want left out and they jumped into the bull camp. The ago number explodes higher now 47 points above the signal line. The stock market remains euphorically bullish.

Volatility, utilities, commodities and banks are the key metrics impacting stock market direction.

The bulls need VIX below 17.23 to throw confetti and declare that the end of year rally is guaranteed going forward. Price is at 17.81 in real-time so the bulls need another 58 cents lower to celebrate a huge stock market victory. If stocks continue rallying, but the VIX does not drop below 17.23, the bulls got buptkis, and the joy in equities this week will likely reverse.

The bull/bear lines in the sand for commodities and banks are GTX 3858.50 and XLF 52.54, respectively. Bears need to pull prices below these numbers if they want to growl.

UTIL 1103.18 remains a very important line in the sand for this week and the bulls keep pumping utes to keep them buoyant and away from danger. Stocks trade for a half-day on Friday. On Monday, the 1103.18 is meaningless replaced with 1109.48 for all of next week. Watch UTIL, or DJU, like a hawk on Friday. If it ends this week below 1109, that will point to a sour start for the stock market for next week. If UTIL ends this week above 1109, the bulls will celebrate since they will be set up for more fun next week.

Watch VIX 17.23, GTX 3858.50, XLF 52.54, UTIL 1103.18 and UTIL 1109. They will tell you stock market direction. Volatility is the only one helping the bears right now. Bulls need the VIX jewel in their camp to continue a robust celebration going forward.

For now, the turkeys do not have a chance. Time to wear the pants with the elastic waist line and begin eating for the next four days. Hopefully, the poor and disadvantaged will have a great meal tomorrow. In this area, everything is being done that can be done. Maybe some abused, lonely and runaway kids can find some help, so they can remember how to smile. Runaway Train.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips long this morning at SPX 6672. The algo number is 17 points above the signal line so the bulls are smiling as they bake chocolate chip cookies for Thursday. The day started with the bears flexing their muscles turning commodities and utilities sour but the bulls took over from there. A tech orgy excited the other stocks and once the bulls pumped utes and commodities, the indexes never looked back. The bulls sing, "Happy Days Are Here Again."

Bears need to turn commodities negative and pull GTX below 3859.20 with price now at 3868. Weaker chips, utilities and copper will also hurt stocks.

Bulls need stronger banks and retail stocks and lower volatility to prove they got game going forward.

On the last trade that ran for a week, the quant program and actual trading generated by the robot both lose about a percent. For the year with only one month remaining, the SPX is up over +13%. The quant program is up +25% and the actual trading is up a big +32% this year thus far. The choppy slop in recent days, however, are wreaking havoc on algorithms. Chop suey gives both bulls and bears indigestion. Keybot exited QID and entered QLD remaining in the riskier 2x ETF's.

Chips, utes, copper, commodities, banks, retail stocks and volatility are the drivers of the stock market currently. Keybot the Quant prints a prescheduled number tomorrow morning shortly after the opening bell.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short with the algo number 20 points below the signal line. The bears are feeling good but the stock market remains a coin-flip with counteracting forces everywhere. The metrics impacting stock market direction currently are utes, banks and chips in the bear camp versus copper and commodities in the bull camp.

There was lots of drama with utilities last week as they potentially break down and drag the stock market lower. UTIL 1103.18 is the bull/bear line in the sand for the week ahead. Price starts at 1107 so the bulls are already celebrating thinking they will be off to a positive start. If UTIL falls below 1103 this week, there will be Hell to pay going forward.

Bears need UTIL below 1103 pronto and at the same time pull CPER below 30.63 and GTX below 3859. It is a game of pennies and dollars since prices are so close to the lines in the sand. Copper futures need to drop about -1.4% for CPER to fail and flip to the bear camp. GTX is only 4 bucks away so that can flip bearish at the opening bell without much effort like utilities. The bulls must keep UTIL above 1103, CPER above 30.63 and GTX above 3859, otherwise, they will lay their head on the guillotine and accept their fate.

Bulls need help from the banksters. Bulls need XLF above 52.60 that is a +1.8% rise so watch it in the premarket. Bulls will also rejoice if SOX moves above 6597 that is a +3% rise needed to send the stock market higher.

If the bulls succeed on keeping UTIL above 1103 after the opening bell tomorrow morning, and also push the XLF above 52.60, and then the SPX overtakes 6660, trip 6's, Keybot the Quant will likely flip long. Stronger chips will also bolster the bull case and their hope of creating a strong stock market rally.

Bears need to spank UTIL below 1103 out of the gate tomorrow to prove they mean business. This action will maintain stock market negativity. Then, if GTX loses 3859 and/or CPER loses 30.63, it is goodnight for stocks that will be falling in earnest.

There are a lot of moving parts these days but focus on the UTIL 1103, XLF 52.60, GTX 3859 and CPER 30.63 lines in the sand. They will tell you the direction of the stock market ahead.

Keybot the Quant prints one prescheduled number this week on Tuesday morning shortly after the opening bell. Bulls and bears square off snorting and growling with utilities, banks, commodities and copper dictating the winner going forward. Bulls and bears are giving everyone the Run Around.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT

Keybot the Quant remains short after another crazy day of price action. Utes and chips are the main attraction today and both fail into the bear camp creating stock market negativity. The bears remain in charge with the algo number 26 points below the signal line.

Stock market direction is dictated by the battle between bearish utes, chips and banks versus bullish copper and commodities. Doctor Copper and other important goods commodities are keeping the stock market afloat but both are near their lines in the sand.

The bull/bear lines in the sand are UTIL 1113.47 (tomorrow only and then it becomes 1103.18 for all of next week), SOX 6608, XLF 52.55, CPER 30.62 and GTX 3860, respectively.

The bears need to keep utes, chips and banksters in their camp, that will create more negativity each day, while at the same time pull CPER below 30.62 and/or GTX below 3860. If 1 of the 2 turn bearish, stocks will take another big leg lower, if both turn bearish, turn out the lights, The Party's Over as Willie sings. Equities will be falling in earnest. If UTIL loses 1051, the stock market may crash.

The bulls need to keep copper and commodities in their camp, they have to keep the red metal bullish due to its impact on the economy, while at the same time push UTIL back above 1113.47, XLF above 52.55, and/or SOX above 6608. Any 1 of the 3 will immediately stop the downward slide in stocks and 2 of the 3 will start a relief rally higher. If all 3 turn bullish, stocks will rally like early this morning and will not give it back like they did today. If 2 of the 3 parameters turn bullish, consider the imminent turn to the long side to be in play.

The table is set but boiling it down to something easy, bears will create more pain if copper futures lose -0.5% overnight, and bulls will create stock market joy if UTIL regains 1113.47; copper versus utes.

Also, as the week ends, check UTIL to see where it closes tomorrow in relation to the key line in the sand next week at 1103. If UTIL ends the week above 1103, the bulls are regrouping and may stage a comeback next week. If UTIL ends the week below 1103, especially below 11 hundo, the bears are going to bludgeon the bulls out of the gate on Monday morning. Having fun yet? Cyndi likes to have fun. Back in the days of calling your honey on the telephone.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short as the chips send the stock market to and fro. The bears are in charge with the algo number 20 points below the signal line. The SOX 6625 bull/bear line in the sand was the key metric today controlling stock market direction. Bulls did their best to pump semiconductors higher, and succeeded after lunch, they ate spinach like Popeye, but then they fell on their sword tumbling lower into the close taking equities back down the rabbit hole of despair.

There are a lot of moving parts but to keep it simple, and something yinz can watch, it is likely a game of bearish chips and banks versus bullish utes and copper. The bull/bear lines in the sand are; SOX 6625, XLF 52.70, UTIL 1113.47 and CPER 30.61, respectively. One of them will flinch and likely start a move in that direction.

SOX needs +1.1% of upside and XLF needs +2.6% to help the bulls that may be difficult since the banksters are getting some bad press lately, as the thieves should. Watch the chips and banks in the premarket.

UTIL starts hump day only pennies from disaster. It was the same-o scenario this morning and utilities took off higher like a rocket; the bulls know the seriousness of the situation. UTIL can only lose about -0.3% because if it drops further it will enter the bear camp and inflict serious negative damage on the stock market. CPER only needs to drop -0.6% and it will inflict pain upon the stock market so watch the copper futures overnight to see if they are down -0.6%.

Bears need to keep semi's and banksters in their camp and bring utes and copper over to the bear side as well that will send stocks to Hell.

Bulls need to keep utes and copper in the bull camp and bring chips and banks higher back into their fold to take the stock market back to record highs. 1 of the 4 will flinch and tell you the direction of equities going forward.

That is about as simple as it can be explained now and there are other moving parts. But watch those four parameters for the rest of the week and you will know the direction of the stock market. Now you know what to watch. Let it be said, let it be written, let it be done. Watch it now! Watch it!

Keybot prints a prescheduled number tomorrow morning before the opening bell but that should not change anything.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips short after the opening bell at SPX 6637. It is about time. The algo number is 22 points below the signal line. The price action has been very odd the last couple weeks. Chips collapse into the bear camp creating more broad stock market selling.

Watch SOX 6620, the bull/bear line in the sand. Bulls will stop the selling and stabilize the stock market if they push SOX above 6620. If SOX remains below 6620, the market will remain negative and the beatings will continue until moral improves. SOX 6620 is the rudder steering the market ship. As the semiconductors go, so goes the stock market.

Utilities remain elevated that gives the bulls some hope. Banks and chips are in the bear camp and creating negativity. Utes, copper and commodities are in the bull camp helping to support stocks and prevent a collapse.

On the last trade that ran for a week, the quant program loses about -2% and the actual trading generated by the quant loses -5%. That is a slap in the face but no worries. For the year, now getting down to the short strokes, the benchmark S&P 500 is up about +13%. The quant program is up +25% for 2025 and the actual trading is up +33% outperforming the benchmark by nearly 3x. Keybot the Quant exited SSO and entered QID.

SOX is at 6520 so the bulls need 100 points and 6620 and higher to stop the stock market selling. The drama continues. Live is still Selling the Drama.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION -- TURN MAY BE IMMINENT

Keybot the Quant remains long after a wild and crazy week. The cage match between the banksters and volatility played out during the week with the banks running higher but volatility would not move lower. Then, the banks reversed and failed at XLF 52.79 creating stock market sogginess.

The dip-buyers remain active so any move lower is met with a sharp relief rally creating choppy sideways slop for the last few weeks. Banks, utilities, volatility, copper and commodities are dictating stock market direction currently. Banks and volatility are creating market negativity while utilities, copper and commodities support the stock market.

UTIL, or DJU, ends the week at 1113.61. Remember, a couple weeks ago, the Keybot the Quant robot called out 1113.47 as the bull/bear line in the sand for the week of 11/17/25. Well, isn't that a fine how do you do? The robot called out this key number 2 weeks ahead of time. Of course it did. It is Keybot.

Utilities are a game of pennies as the new week of trading begins. Pay attention to UTIL 1113.47 the bull/bear line in the sand for this week. For next week, it will be UTIL 1103.18 and the 1113.47 number becomes meaningless. If UTIL falls below 1113.47 this week, only pennies away, it will create stock market negativity.

At Friday afternoon at 4 PM EST as trading ends for the regular session for the week, check UTIL, or DJU, to see if it is above or below 1103.18 since that will give you a heads-up for trading the week of 11/24/25. The bulls simply need to keep UTIL above 1113.47 and they should be fine preventing any significant drop in stocks. If utes begin falling apart, however, creating negativity, watch UTIL 1050 since that will trigger a big drop in the stock market and place an all-out major crash on the table.

XLF 52.79 is a line in the sand and with price starting the week at 52.45, the bears do not have much. Bulls will create happy stocks immediately if they can push XLF above 52.79. If price remains below, a pall will remain over the stock market going forward.

The quant is champing at the bit to go short with the algo number 8 points below the signal line but the internal parameters will not fully latch yet to permit the move. If the SPX drops below 6647, Keybot the Quant will likely flip short.

This is a long ways down from the starting price for the new week of trading at 6734. If utes turn negative, the quant may flip short right away when/if that happens. You have to just wait to see what the 1's and 0's do since the robot is dealing with several moving parts currently.

It was surprising that the quant did not flip short last week. The week ahead may be historic for the stock market. A late and revised US Monthly Jobs report, due to the government shutdown, will likely be released on Thursday and that will obviously impact stocks.

There is a new cage match; banksters versus utilities. It is XLF 52.79 versus UTIL 1113.47. Since the quant wants to flip short now, the bulls must push financials higher or they are screwed big-time. If UTIL loses the 1113.47 and banks remain negative, you will start to see the downside in the stock market gain traction and the quant will likely flip short.

Keybot the Quant prints two prescheduled numbers this week one on Wednesday morning and the other on Friday morning. Stocks are jumping around like Jumpin' Jack Flash. But it's all right now, in fact its a gas, gas, gas.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant is on the long side to start the new week of trading. The bulls are in control of the stock market but the algo number is only 5 points above the signal line that is not much.

The bulls win the day riding the backs of the banksters. XLF pops to 52.97 fueling the 'end of the government shutdown' orgy. The SPX finishes up over one hundo points to 6832. Bulls are walking around with their chests puffed out and the banks in their back pockets.

Tuesday will be a cage match. There are a lot of cage matches lately with odd results. One cage match ended with the two metrics switching positions another ended in a draw. People do not pay to see such weak duels. Perhaps tomorrow will be different.

It is banks versus volatility. Two will enter the cage but only one will exit and stocks will go in that direction. XLF 52.80 and VIX 16.69 are the bull/bear lines in the sand. The bullish banks are creating stock market lift while the bearish elevated volatility creates stock market negativity. One of them will flinch.

Bulls need to keep banks elevated and moving higher while pushing the VIX below 16.69. If so, stocks will be catapulting higher probably to new record highs.

Bears need to keep volatility elevated and moving higher while pulling XLF below 52.80. If so, you will notice an immediate pall develop in the stock market. Dark clouds will form. If banks turn bearish, and the SPX drops below 6771, Keybot the Quant will likely turn bearish. It is a tall ask because the SPX will need to drop over -60 points. Hump day may be a better set-up for a potential whipsaw back to the short side

Banks and volatility will tell you the direction of the stock market tomorrow.

Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps. Ooh Rah. The Marines' Hymn.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips to the bull side at SPX 6805 after the opening bell for the new week of trading. Banks bounce and stocks are getting a lift on the hope for a resolution to the US government shutdown. So up we go, but the banksters stumble and fall on their sword, slumping over again, but now trying to recover.

It is all about the banks and the XLF 52.80 bull/bear line in the sand. Bulls win above XLF 52.80 and stocks will jump strongly higher with lower volatility.

Bears will win below XLF 52.80, like now, by pennies, and need to drag copper, commodities and utilities lower if they want to create stock market carnage.

For now, the bulls are in control but the bears are champing at the bit to take the ball back immediately with the algo number 12 points below the signal line. Watch for a potential whipsaw back to the short side over the next day. It is all about the banks.

On the last trade that ran just shy of a couple weeks, the quant program gains about a percent and the actual trading gains over +3% helped by the collapse in the tech stocks. Sometimes the specific ETF helps and sometimes it hurts; this time it helped. For the year that is in its last few weeks, as guitarists practice Christmas songs that everyone will want to hear, the benchmark SPX is up about +16%. America's wealthy class will be happy with that this year. The quant program is up about +28% and the actual trading triggered by the quant gains over +37% thus far this year outperforming the benchmark S&P 500 by over 2x. Keybot the Quant exited QID and entered SSO. May as well kick off the season with the top radio-play Christmas song for the last several years. Mariah Carey shaking her money-maker.

Watch XLF 52.80. You do not have to watch the broad stock market indexes because watching XLF 52.80 will tell you what they are doing.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short with the algo number 14 points below the signal line. The stock market is a coin-flip right now with the bulls trying to stage a comeback. New York Comeback.

The bulls pumped the utilities last week with UTIL at 1127 above the critical line in the sand at 1107.90 for all of this week that will create stock market negativity if it fails.

The stock market was stick-saved on Friday afternoon when someone coughed and it sounded like he said the US government shutdown may be resolved. The dip-buyers were tripping over each other buying stocks with reckless abandon bringing the SPX back to the flat line after a steep drop.

The banksters will tell the story out of the gate tomorrow. XLF rallied up to 52.78 during the bull orgy on Friday only 3 pennies from the XLF 52.81 line in the sand. Check XLF in the pre-market and you will know who will win the day on Monday. Bears must hold the XLF 52.81 line in the sand or they will fold like a cheap suit.

If the bulls can push XLF three cents higher above 52.81, and remain above, stocks will rally, and consider the imminent turn to the long side to be in play, and if the SPX overtakes 6730, Keybot the Quant will likely flip long. Thus, if you see XLF above 52.81 in the premarket with the S&P futures positive, the bulls are likely going to win the day, and this is an easy bar to step over.

If bearish, you want to see XLF remain below 52.81, and for copper futures to fall -0.8%, and utilities to weaken. If copper futures are positive overnight, that is another feather in the bull's cap.

There are no prescheduled numbers on tap this week. XLF 52.81 determines who wins and who loses. Even the Losers. The bulls have it on a silver platter if they want. The Platters.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short as a sleepy week muddles along. The robot has not printed any numbers this week but the prescheduled numbers will print tomorrow morning. The bears are in control with the algo number 17 points below the signal line.

The copper versus banks cage match is a dud with people demanding their money back because copper remains bullish and banks bearish. Neither has flinched. And VIX remains above the 16.62 line in the sand creating negativity in the stock market. GTX, commodities, are above the 3841 line in the sand creating positivity in the stock market. The status is quo.

Thus, getting back to copper and banks, the cage match is back on. The quant is tracking these two metrics as the top influencers on the stock market right now. CPER 30.42 and XLF 52.79 are the bull/bear lines in the sand, respectively. Copper, CPER, is above 30.42 at 30.83 creating bullishness in the stock market. Bears need a -1.3% drop in copper futures overnight or tomorrow to celebrate more stock market carnage.

Financials, XLF, are below 52.79 at 52.41 creating bearishness in the stock market. Bulls need a +0.7% gain in the banksters to signal that the stock market selling has stopped, markets are stable, and the quant may be in position to flip long.

Thus, very simply, if CPER loses 30.42, stocks are toast. If XLF regains 52.79, stocks will rally and recover and the robot may flip long. It is a cage match rematch. One of the two will flinch and the stock market will follow.

Utilities are sneaking around in the stock market bushes. Go back a couple posts to read the mumbo-jumbo about utes. UTIL 1107.90 is a bull/bear line in the sand for all of next week. UTIL is at 1113 with only the Friday session remaining this week. Check to see where UTIL closes at 4 PM EST tomorrow because it tells you what the stock market will do next week.

If UTIL ends this week above 1108, like it is now, the bulls are hanging in there and will continue trying to wrestle back control of the stock market. If UTIL, of DJU, ends the week below 1108, only 5 ticks below where it will begin tomorrow, next week will be ugly with stocks likely dropping out of the gate on Monday morning. Let it Drop by Sports Team. Be a monkey in a tie.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short  with the algo number 17 points below the signal line. The bears growl but the quant has not printed any numbers this week yet so the bears got buptkis.

Tomorrow, hump day, is a cage match. Two will enter but only one will exit taking the stock market in that direction. The battle is between copper and banks. The lines in the sand are CPER 30.41 creating stock market bullishness, and XLF 52.79 creating bearishness.

Bears need weaker copper because it opens the floodgates to pain and misery in the stock market. CPER begins tomorrow at 30.53 only pennies away from disaster. You can watch copper futures overnight to see if a -0.4% drop occurs, if so, the US stock market will be in big trouble.

Bulls need to keep copper in their camp while at the same time pumping banks higher. Bulls need XLF above 52.79, again, another number only pennies away from tomorrow's starting point at 52.42. Watch XLF in the pre-market to see if it is up +0.7%, if so, the bulls are coming to play and will try to reestablish the rally party. If VIX drops below 16.62, stocks will be catapulting higher in a festive mood.

The quant likely needs to see both XLF and VIX flip bullish to flip long. If both metrics turn bullish, and the SPX moves above 6820, Keybot the Quant will likely flip long. If only 1 of the 2 flips bullish, watch to see if it oscillates above and below the lines in the sand, if so, that is good for the bulls going forward because it may jog the robot forward to where only 1 of the 2 metrics are needed to flip long.

If copper remains bullish, and banks remain bearish, that will not be much of a cage match. Watch CPER, XLF and VIX since 1 of the 3 will likely flinch and tell you the answer forward. Tomorrow should provide the answer on whether stocks will begin Free Fallin' as per Tom Petty, or not.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short through the weekend. The bulls rally stocks but it is irrelevant with the VIX moving higher. The bears are in control of the stock market with the algo number 17 points below the signal line.

Retail sales, banks and volatility crippled the stock market last week but it is still limping along trying to crawl higher. XRT 83.90, XLF 52.84 and VIX 16.71 are the bull/bear lines in the sand that failed creating the last couple days of soggy stocks. You can check the VIX in overnight trading and the other two in the premarket to see if the bears remain in good shape (remember, the VIX moves inverse to the stock market).

The bulls likely need 2 of the 3 metrics to turn bullish to start the upward stock market joy again. If 2 of the 3 turn bullish, consider the imminent turn to the long side to be in play, and if the SPX moves above 6879 trending higher, Keybot the Quant will likely flip long.

Bears need to keep the 3 metrics above negative and at the same time punch copper, commodities and utilities lower to create more negativity. GTX below 3836 would greatly help the bears.

Utilities are falling apart when no one is looking. UTIL 1082.51 is the key bull/bear line in the sand for the week ahead. Price begins at 1111. There will be huge trouble for stocks if 1082 fails. Further, for the week of 11/10/25, UTIL 1107.90 is the line in the sand. Thus, watch UTIL, or DJU, at the end of the week on Friday at 4 PM EST. If UTIL is below 1108, there will be trouble in equity land the week of 11/10/25.

At any time over the next month, if UTIL 1048 fails, there is an extremely high probability that the stock market will crash. Utilities have trailed lower for 3 weeks an ominous sign. When utes lead the broad market lower, it means the pullback will be uber nasty. So UTIL will be fun to watch over the coming days.

Keybot the Quant prints two prescheduled numbers this week both on Friday morning one before the opening bell and one shortly after. November trading begins tomorrow with only 2 months remaining in the year.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short with the robot off to an active start for Thursday. The bears remain in control of the stock market but the algo number is only 2 measly points below the signal line.

Volatility is playing a top role in the stock market drama. Watch VIX 16.70 the bull/bear line in the sand. Above and bears win with stocks selling off. Below and bulls win with stocks stabilizing and starting a new rally. VIX falls to 16.46 right now so the bulls are winning this minute.

XLF 52.87 and XRT 84.17 are two more lines in the sand and prices remain below so the bears are happy about this.

GTX 3834 is the commodities line in the sand with price at 3889 creating stock market bullishness.

Thus, VIX and GTX are creating market joy while XRT and XLF create market angst. 1 of the 4 will flinch and send stocks in that direction. Simply watch those lines in the sand. The VIX 16.70 line in the sand is key today. Bears are hanging on by their fingernails. You Give Love a Bad Name. Paint your smile, on your lips, blood red nails on your fingertips.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips to the short side at SPX 6856 at 2:41 PM EST this afternoon as Pope Powell was tap-dancing in front of reporters. Banks, volatility and retail stocks all failed today sending equities down the rabbit hole. The Fed tried to push volatility lower into the close accounting for the recovery in the stock indexes but the VIX beach ball would not stay underwater.

Traders hit the sell button when Chairman Powell said a 12/10/25 rate cut is not a foregone conclusion. The quant is active today spitting out 7 numbers and flipping short. The bears are in control of the stock market with the algo number 13 points below the signal line. Stay alert for a potential whipsaw tomorrow although the tech earnings this evening are sh*tting the bed and will likely create soggy futures into tomorrow.

VIX 16.70, XRT 84.17 and XLF 52.83, volatility, retail stocks and banks, respectively, are driving the stock market to and fro. All 3 are bearish creating todays gloom. Bears need to keep all 3 bearish and deteriorating further while also trying to weaken commodities and pull GTX below 3835 to cause real trouble.

The bulls need any 1 of the 3 bearish metrics above to turn bullish and that will stabilize the stock market and prevent anymore downside in equities. Bulls need VIX below 16.70, you can check this overnight, XRT above 84.17 and/or XLF above 52.83. Any 1 of the 3 would do. These three parameters will tell you the story on the stock market.

On the last trade that ran for only 9 days, the quant program gains a couple percent and the actual trading gains about +4%. For the year, the benchmark SPX is up nearly +17% a bigtime year if it holds. The Keybot the Quant program is up +27% on the year and the actual trading generated by the quant is up a humungous +34% thus far this year. Put that in your pipe, or bong, and smoke it. Can't Believe We're Here. Keybot exited SSO and entered QID remaining in 2x leveraged ETF's.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant remains long as the euphoric bull rally continues in the stock market. The bulls are in full control of stocks with the algo number 34 points above the signal line. It is a simple set-up for the week forward.

Volatility and banks are all that matter. Bears need VIX above 16.96 and XLF below 52.86 to turn equities sour. If 1 of the 2 parameters turn bearish, consider the caution flag to be out. If both turn bearish, consider that the imminent turn to the short side is in play.

If both parameters turn bearish, and the SPX drops below 6772 trending lower, Keybot the Quant will likely flip short. VIX will be trading in the early hours tomorrow and XLF can be checked pre-market to find out what will happen in the day ahead. Obviously, if both metrics remain in the bull camp, stocks will remain elevated with more all-time record highs likely.

On Friday, 10/24/25, the SPX prints the highest number in history at 6807.11. It is time for the "SPX 6.8K" hats. The all-time closing high is 6791.69 on Friday so bears need volatility and banks to turn bearish and for the SPX to drop about 20 points if they want to growl.

The quant prints one pre-scheduled number this week on Tuesday morning and the month of October ends on Friday on Halloween. November trading begins next Monday. The Halloween anthem is the Monster Mash a fun song.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant remains long with the algo number a big 37 points above the signal line. The bulls are cruising. Wheeee! Whoopie! The bulls are in party mode after the tame inflation data means the Fed will lower rates and print money for as far as the eye can see. That dough flows into the stock market making the rich richer. It is beautiful crony capitalism filth. Rejoice! It is the weekend and time to go to Party Town. Glenn told the bears to kiss his *ss; it is party time, drink some Fed wine, and buy stocks.

VIX fell out of bed when the inflation data dropped so the fix was in. Futures ran higher like a banshee. After the cash open, banks (XLF) catapult higher taking the stock market to new all-time record highs. Bulls are throwing confetti and buying equities without a care in the world after they shoot the Fed crack into their arm. Voodoo. They buy stocks when they feel the Fed snakebite enter their veins.

Since the VIX 16.96 and XLF 52.86 bull/bear lines in the sand were blown through, these will need to reverse if the bears want to growl. If these two metrics remain in the bull camp, it is nothing but upside for stocks as the euphoric bull party continues. 

VIX is at 16.47 moving dead flat for the last half hour. Bears need the VIX 49 cents higher or they got nothing. XLF is at 53.12 slapping the bears in the face. Bears need a drop of 26 cents in XLF to create stock market sogginess and negativity.

Bulls want to try and keep stocks elevated into hump day next week when Pope Powell will bring the tablets down from On High and tell international traders how to trade.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long as the stock market oddities continue. Today it was all about the banksters and commodities. Banks rallied helping bulls but then fell on their sword in the afternoon. Commodities failed helping bears but an hour or so later they recover and 'all will be forgiven' as Jenny sings. Red Bull & Hennessy.

The bulls are in charge of the stock market with the algo number 12 points above the signal line. Tomorrow is the same-o set-up as today. XRT and GTX are in the bull camp creating stock market upside while XLF and VIX are in the bear camp creating downside. One of the four will flinch and stocks will go in that direction.

Bears need XRT below 84.12 and/or GTX below 3814. Either one will do to create the imminent turn to the shortside. If 1 of the 2 turn bearish, and the SPX drops below 6722 heading lower, Keybot the Quant will likely flip short.

Bulls need XLF above 52.86, where there was drama all day long today, to create the next leg higher in the stock market and more bullish euphoria. Bulls also need VIX below 16.96, now only a stick below current price, to begin party time with new all-time stock market records guaranteed. Choose your poison. Everybody has a Poison Heart. Salute to CBGB's.

Focus on XLF 52.86 and GTX 3814 since this was all the action today. Also, watch the VIX 16.96 line in the sand since the bulls are pushing volatility lower. These three will tell you what happens to the stock market tomorrow. You will know XLF and VIX before the cash open.

Bulls are trying to keep the stock market elevated until next Wednesday, 10/29/25, when Pope Powell brings the tablets down from On High and tells global traders how to trade.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips to the long side at SPX 6711 after this morning's opening bell. Retail stocks and commodities jump into the bull camp driving the indexes higher. Everyone is doing the Wooly Bully with Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. Hard-core bikers grooved to Sam the Sham in the 1960's and early 70's. Watch it now! Watch it!

The path ahead becomes trickier with more moving parts. The quant is tracking retail stocks, commodities, banks and volatility. That is the whole ball of wax controlling stock market direction. Retail stocks and commodities are bullish creating market lift while banks and volatility are bearish creating a pall on the stock market. One or two of the metrics will flip sides and tell you the path ahead.

The bull/bar lines in the sand are XRT 84.08, GTX 3814, XLF 52.87 and VIX 16.97, respectively. The bulls goosed XRT and GTX that are comfortably in the bull camp. XLF is at 52.79 only pennies away from 52.87 that will create another big up leg in the stock market with bulls throwing confetti. XLF trades at 52.83 only 4 pennies away in the after-hours trading. If the VIX falls below 16.97, the bulls will receive more juice as stocks will then strive to make new all-time record highs.

Obviously, the bears need to keep XLF and VIX in their camp while at the same time start smacking XRT and GTX lower. Interestingly, bears need XRT to turn bearish to place the quant in position to go short. GTX turning bearish may not be enough unless it jogs above and below 3814 a couple-few times.

If retail stocks fail into the bear camp, consider the imminent turn to the downside to be in play and if the SPX loses 6690 heading lower, Keybot the Quant will likely whipsaw back to the short side.

On the last trade that ran for only 10 days, the algo program and actual trading post marginal losses. For the year that is getting long in the tooth, the SPX is up  +14% with the quant program up +25% and the actual trading generated by the quant up +30% outperforming the benchmark by over 2x. Keybot the Quant exited SDS and entered SSO.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short the stock market with the algo number 17 points below the signal line. That is not much considering that key parameters such as retail stocks, banks and commodities, are all teetering on the edge of their bull/bear lines in the sand.

The cage match between retail stocks and commodities had both sides switching camps to the other side, a draw, but as the Friday session played out, the negativity prevailed with retail stocks.

Retail stocks, banks and commodities are all that matter to the stock market right now. XRT 84.04 is the line in the sand and price is at 84.02. Do you think Keybot is a smart robot to call out these numbers before they occur? The bulls only need two cents higher to pull the retail stocks back into their camp and create lift in the broad stock market. The bears must move XRT lower if they want to growl.

XLF 52.92 is the banksters line in the sand with price at 52.18. Watch it in the premarket to see the story forward. Bulls win big if XLF moves above 52.92; the upside stock market rally will continue. The bears need to keep XLF in their camp and heading lower to bring more negativity into the stock market.

GTX 3814.40 is the line in the sand, er grain, for the commodities. Price is at 3804 another metric sitting on the line in the bear camp. The bulls need GTX above 3814 heading higher to pave the road to more stock market gains. The bears need to keep GTX in their camp and heading lower to maintain and increase stock market selling pressure.

If any 2 of the 3 turn bullish, consider the imminent turn to the long side to be in play. Also, if only one metric turns bullish, and then jogs back to bearish, then bullish again, the quant is likely only focused on this metric and it will decide the path forward. Of course, if all 3 flip bullish, stocks will be leaping higher in a euphoric confetti atmosphere.

Copper remains in the bull camp supporting the stock market. Bears need a -3.2% drop in the red metal to create carnage in stocks.

Keybot the Quant prints one prescheduled number this week on Friday shortly after the opening bell. Write a note to yourself to watch the retail stocks such as AMZN, WMT, banksters such as JPM, BAC and C, and regionals that are on shaky ground, KRE, and commodities, GTX and CRB, also DBA, that reflect goods inflation. Take a Letter, Maria.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short. It is an active week for the quant and it is not over yet. Retail stocks, banks and commodities are running the show. This week, all three metrics flipped bullish in quick order, that typically guarantees a model flip to the long side but not this time. Today, the same three metrics flip negative creating the stock market selloff. This drama will continue.

The bears are controlling the stock market with the algo number only 13 points below the signal line nothing to write home about. Stocks are chopping waiting for a definitive move up or down.

XRT 84.05, XLF 52.92, VIX 16.88 and GTX 3814.60 are the bull/bear lines in the sand. The first 3 are in the bear camp creating negativity while GTX (commodities) is helping the bulls by a hair.

GTX is at 3818 so you can cough and it may slip back below the 3814.60 line in the sand that will bring more stock market selling.

XRT is at 83.96 only 9 pennies in the bear camp so you can burp and it can pop back above the 84.05 in a heartbeat.

Thus, Friday will be a cage match after the prescheduled number prints pre-market. Two will enter but only one will exit and stocks will go in that direction. It is retail stocks versus commodities, XRT vs. GTX.

Bears will begin biting hard and wreak havoc in the stock market into the weekend if GTX loses 3814.60. Bulls will get a foothold on the market and push stocks higher if they can push XRT above 84.05. One of them will flinch and tell you the market story.

Watch copper futures because a couple percent drop would spell trouble for stocks and a drop of -3% or more will likely tank the stock market.

Is the stock market six feet from the edge perhaps taking One Last Breath?

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT

Keybot the Quant flipped short on Friday after King Donnie tanked the stock market. The bears are controlling the stock market currently with the algo number 40 points below the signal line. The robot is tracking copper, commodities, banks, retail stocks and volatility as the key drivers of stock market direction. Copper is the only metric that is in the bull camp creating market lift; the other four are in the bear camp creating market angst and selling pressure.

The bull/bear lines in the sand, that will be a good judge for yinz for most of the week ahead, are CPER 29.58, GTX 3814.75, XLF 53.10, XRT 84, and VIX 16.60. Any move by these parameters across their lines in the sand sends the stock market in that same direction. Easy-peasy.

XRT is at 81 so that will be quite a lift to get back on the bull side. XLF is only about -2% below its critical number and that can be made up if the bankster earnings are joyful. It likely leads to long-time trouble and market downside if XLF cannot recover above 53.10 this week. Volatility shot skyward after Donnie's tariff comments and the bears are happy to see the VIX above 21. GTX is only a few dollars away from the bull/bear line in the sand so you can sneeze and it will pop back above.

CPER is +2.3% above the bull/bear line in the sand so the bulls will try to keep the red metal in their camp, otherwise, all hope will be lost for the stock market. Watch the copper futures.

What does all this mumbo-jumbo mean as the Pennsylvania leaves turn color and the Laurel Highlands lights-up in a brilliant Autumn display. California Dreamin'. They sure could sing.

XLF, GTX, VIX and CPER will tell the story for the week ahead. Check VIX and copper futures overnight for hints of what will happen in the US session. The bulls likely need all 3 metrics, banks, commodities, and volatility, to jump back into their camp to save the day and keep their rally hopes alive. Two of the three will likely not cut it. If copper drops more than -2%, it may place a crash on the table. It's fun.

Keybot the Quant prints one prescheduled number this week on Friday morning before the opening bell. Banks, commodities and copper are the focus as the new week begins.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT

Keybot the Quant flips short at SPX 6692 at 11:04 AM EST yesterday. A Black Friday occurs after President Trump slaps tariffs on China in retaliation for restrictions placed on rare earth minerals. The rift creates stock market angst.

The banksters failed first, then volatility, then commodities. Retail stocks were already floating in the toilet bowl. The robot has been champing at the bit to go short this month and finally finds the right entry. As always, stay alert for a potential whipsaw but the algo number is 42 points below the signal line a formidable deficit.

The quant is tracking commodities (GTX), volatility (VIX), and banks/financials (XLF). All 3 are in the bear camp creating market mayhem. The key bull/bear lines in the sand can be pulled from the quant tomorrow with the standard Sunday number.

On the last trade, that ran from late August to early October, a long trade for the Keybot the Quant robot, call it 2 months, the algorithm program gains almost +4% and the actual trading generated by the quant gains +7%. For the year thus far, with only 2-1/2 months of trading remaining, the benchmark S&P 500 is up almost +14%. The Keybot the Quant algo program is up about +25% this year and the actual trading is up a big +30% two times the benchmark. Keybot exited SSO and entered SDS remaining in the 2x ETF's. The bulls are Saying Goodbye to the rally like Ondara.
