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.
