STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant algorithm provides a phenomenal return for 2018. The Keybot algorithm program gains +16.2% in 2018 and the actual trading, triggered by the algorithm, prints a fantastic +35.3% return in 2018. The S&P 500 benchmark lost -6.3% in 2018; that is a stupendous +42% outperformance by the Keybot algo compared to the S&P 500. Keybot smoked other Wall Street algorithms. Keybot has never printed a losing year.

2018 is in the rearview mirror and 2019 begins. The Keybot the Quant algorithm is re-zeroed to begin the new trading year. The market bears are in control with the algorithm number 4 points below the signal line.

The bulls have been trying to boost utilities and copper the last couple weeks to support the broad stock market and stop the selling. Copper is weak, however, and uncooperative for the bulls.

Thus, the bulls are trying to oscillate UTIL above and below the key 709.55 level as a means to inch the algo number higher to overtake the signal line. UTIL begins the new year at 713. If you see UTIL moving below 709.55 for a few minutes, then back above a short time later, then back below again, then back above, you get the picture, this behavior will tell you that the algo is likely getting ready to flip long. The algo likely needs at least a couple jogs above and below the UTIL 709.55 level, if this occurs, and the SPX moves above 2509 trending higher, Keybot may flip long.

The new year begins from the SPX 2507 level so as a rule of thumb all year long you can simply remember 2500 as the benchmark S&P 500 level. The US Monthly Jobs Report drops on Friday. Happy New Year to all and Good Luck in 2019.
