STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips to the long side at 2738 in the final minutes of the Thursday trade. The bulls had a tall order needing to gain 23 SPX points as the previous post described and they finally pulled it off late in the day. Volatility flips into the bull camp creating market joy. Keybot is amazing that it can identify the key parameters and levels to watch--before they occur. The algorithm printed seven numbers today including the pre-scheduled number.

The current battle for market directional control is between semiconductors and the NYA Index that are causing negativity and volatility and commodities that are creating positivity.

On the last trade, the Keybot the Quant algorithm computer program gains +0.7% and the actual trading gains +1.3% now up almost +8% on the year at the halfway point. The benchmark S&P 500 is up +2.4% this year. Keybot exited SDS and entered SSO.
