STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

After all the recent threats, the Keybot the Quant flips to the long side. UTIL ran up through the critical 597 level and never looked back. UTIL is at 608 now creating bull fuel. Keybot flips long at SPX 1902 after the opening bell. The market bulls have to move JJC (copper) above 23.90 and/or VIX under 19.20 to firmly prove that up is the direction for stocks going forward. The market bears must send UTIL under 597 to create market negativity. If the three parameters above bump along remaining  in their respective camps, equities will float along sideways with a slight upward bias. As always, stay alert for a whipsaw move back to the short side. For now, the bulls are in charge for the first time this year.

The SPX benchmark index begins the year down -7%. On the first trade of 2016, the algorithm gains +7% and the actual executed trading gains +11.4%. Keybot exits RWM and enters SSO. The algo is back in 2x ETF mode using a double-leveraged play. The 2x ETF's will be used unless a whipsaw move occurs which will cause the model to drop back into the 1x ETF mode for about a 5-week duration. The bulls have the ball; how far will they run down field?
