STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant remains long.  For Tuesday, the market bears will growl with joy if they push the SPX under 1321 while maintaining the VIX above 18.10.  If the VIX falls under 18.10, however, now at 18.35, then the bull party lives on.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant remains long to start the week.  During the Friday session, market bulls bounced the indexes with copper strength out of the gate.  The weak retail sector and higher volatility, however, are keeping the bulls in check.  This week, copper, retail and volatility, the Three Musketeers, will determine if the indexes live by the sword, or die by the sword. 

Keybot will print a prescheduled number Monday evening to close out the month so stay tuned.  As always, Keybot the Quant can fire off numbers at any time, independent of the prescheduled times listed below.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant flipped to the long side at 9:38 AM EST at SPX 1314.  Copper strength is helping equities as well as a bounce in the retail sector at the open.  Retail has since weakened again.  Keybot required reprogramming this morning to handle the ETF reverse splits.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG

Keybot the Quant says the status is quo.  Bulls comfortably in control--especially after utilities jumped at the open yesterday.  For the market bears to have any hope today, UTIL would have to slip under 409.60, or Copper has to fall about 8 or 9 pennies, or the VIX would have to jump about 10% to 18.21, the VIX is now at 16.59.

Next standard signal for Keybot clicks off on Sunday but stay tuned, Keybot can start flashing at any time. 

If none of the three items above occur today, then the bulls will enjoy the pre-holiday weekend expected buoyancy and take an easy slide into the weekend.

KEY SECTOR AND SPX PRICE TODAY

Keybot the Quant is long but tenuously long.  The oscillator signal prefers the short side but the algorithm is temporarily overriding the oscillator.  Stay tuned today for a firming of the signals in one direction or the other.

Watch UTIL 409.60, which failed yesterday.  Also, SPX 1329.51.  If the markets stay above these values then the bulls remain in control.  If SPX 1329.51 fails after the open with the utilities remaining sub 409.60, then Keybot the Quant will probably trigger to the short side again.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flipped back to the long side at SPX 1334 at 10:13 AM EST.  Utilites remain above the critical 409.60 level and SPX took out yesterday's HOD.

KEY SECTOR AND SPX PRICE TODAY

Interesting morning shaping up for Keybot the Quant.  A standard signal clicks off at 9 AM EST.

If the SPX moves above 1330.43 Keybot will probably return to the long side.  The utilites are the key sector to watch now, and more specifically the 409.60 level.  Keybot should return to the long side if the utes stay above 409.60.  If UTIL loses 409.60, especially shortly after this morning's open, that will be a hint that the short side is the preferred direction.

If Keybot flips back to the long side it probably will not occur until after the 10 AM EST hour.

Watch SPX 1330.43 and UTIL 409.60.
