STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION -- TURN MAY BE IMMINENT

Keybot the Quant is on the short side but the algo is champing at the bit to go long. The bears are in charge but the algo number is 11 points above the signal line. The quant wants to flip long but the internal parameters will not yet fully latch to permit the move. Hence, the imminent turn notation is in the title line.

Markets are whipsawing this week. Keybot the Quant will likely flip long tomorrow if the SPX takes out the 3250-3254 area (the robot will probably want to see the SPX above 3254 during the first 15 minutes of trading and then above 3251 would be good enough for the bulls for the remainder of the day). The SPX begins Friday at 3247. The bulls have it on a silver platter if they want it and the tech earnings appear positive thus far this evening to perhaps boost stocks tomorrow.

If a large gap-up opening occurs tomorrow morning, this is not good for bulls. It may trigger a timer that forces the algorithm to not flip long but instead wait about 90 minutes time for the market to settle. Ideally, the bulls need stocks to simply slowly float higher and higher tomorrow and that will probably flip Keybot long.

Bears need UTIL below 824, NYA below 12452, GTX below 1690 and/or XLF below 23.55. Bears must pull one of these parameters into their camp fast or they will be beaten silly by the bulls. If you are bearish, hang your hopes on UTIL 824 for tomorrow morning, if UTIL remains above, you lose, but if UTIL loses 824, and then trends lower all day moving towards 8 hundo, this will spell serious trouble for the stock market going forward.

At the opening bell tomorrow morning, the bulls need SPX to gradually move into and above the 3250-3254 area to flip Keybot the Quant to the long side and signal happy bullish times ahead. The bears need UTIL below 824 as soon as possible which will immediately create stock market sogginess. Watch these two parameters like a hawk since they will tell you the stock market direction forward. The pre-scheduled number prints one-half hour after the opening bell.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant is on the short side as of this morning and the drama continues. The algo wanted to flip long a short time ago but the bears bring utilities back into their camp to stop the upside joy.

UTIL is at 823.70. Bulls win above 824. Bears win below 824. Over the last 45 minutes, GTX drops from 1710 to 1698 right now. NYA is at 12509. The cat and mouse game continues. The four big tech stocks, GOOG, AAPL, AMZN and FB, report earnings after the bell.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips to the short side a short time ago at SPX 3222. There is an ongoing battle between utes, the NYA index and commodities. All three failed during the first hour of trading but the NYA and commodities make a comeback. The bears are in charge with the algo number 7 points below the signal line, which 'taint much. Bears will have to press harder if they want to keep the ball.

Bulls need UTIL above 824 to signal the all-clear for upside joy ahead. Before tomorrow's (Friday's) close, bulls must keep UTIL above 795 and that will paint a stabilization picture for stocks for next week.

Bears need to drive UTIL below 795 by Friday's closing bell at 4 PM EST to prove that they will create carnage in the stock market next week. Bears need NYA below 12452 and/or GTX below 1689.30 to create more selling in the stock market. So right now, NYA and GTX are in the bull camp helping to guide markets higher intraday while UTIL is creating ongoing negativity.

The last trade ran for only 11 hours and the previous trade was only 13 hours. Markets are extremely erratic and unstable currently. Time will tell if the choppiness continues. Interestingly, if the turn would have occurred about a half hour sooner, Keybot would likely switch to single 1x non-leveraged ETF's but instead remains in the 2x ETF's. Keybot exits SSO and enters SDS. On the last trade, the algo program loses a half percent and the actual trading loses about a percent. The choppy action is slapping the quants around. For the year, the S&P 500 slips back into the red, negative on the year, albeit a hair. The Keybot the Quant algoirthm computer program is up +24% on the year and the actual trading generated by Keybot is up +33% this year thus far.

Watch UTIL 824, NYA 12452, GTX 1689.30 and XLF 23.55. Nothing else matters. As usual, watch for a potential whipsaw back to the long side especially in these goofball markets. Bulls likely need to get the SPX positive on the day with UTIL above 824 to try and flip the model back to the long side. The Nasdaq is back to positive on the day.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION -- TURN MAY BE IMMINENT

Keybot the Quant remains long. The algo quietly glides through the Wednesday session without printing any numbers. Fed Chairman Powell was tossing out $100 bills to his adoring fans yesterday and the stock market went wild. Pope Powell promises to print money forever to support the US stock market (and protect the wealthy class).

The SPX jumps higher to 3258 but interestingly, UTIL only makes it to 829 well short of the 835 plus the bulls need to signal guaranteed stock market joy and new record highs in the future. Bulls need UTIL above 835.50 to prove they will be the champion going forward.

Bears need weaker utes and to push UTIL below 823.98 as fast as possible. This will create stock market sogginess and end the upside rally. Bears also need NYA below 12455. NYA shot up to 12670 yesterday during the bull parade up +1.666% this week thus far.

Utilities and the NYA index dictate the stock market path ahead. If UTIL and NYA remain status quo, or if UTIL moves above 835, the bulls are on easy street going forward.

If UTIL loses 824, or if NYA loses 12455, either one will do, and if the SPX drops below 3228 trending lower, Keybot will likely flip short, hence the imminent turn notation is in the title line. So bears would need about a 30 point drop in the S&P 500 today to flip the tables on the bulls. S&P futures are -9.

Keybot prints a pre-scheduled number tomorrow morning one-half hour after the market opens. Utes are key. If you are bullish, you want utilities steady or moving higher. If bearish, you want utes to collapse lower and preferably to see UTIL lose 824 which will usher in stock market weakness. The price action remains erratic and unstable.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION -- TURN MAY BE IMMINENT

Keybot the Quant flips back to the long side in the Tuesday session just before munch time at SPX 3242. The utilities jump into the bull camp providing lift to the stock indexes and the NYA index remains buoyant. The stock market is a coin-flip right now. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will bring the tablets down from on high today at 2 PM EST and tell global traders how to trade. Pope Powell's press conference will run from 2:30 PM EST to 3:30 PM EST so expect a lot of market gyrations this afternoon.

The bulls are in charge with the algo number only a paltry 4 points above the signal line; that's nothing. Note how the model is walking a tightrope when short it kept dipping a toe on the long side and now that it is long the quant was champing at the bit twice yesterday afternoon to flip back to the short side. Hence, stay on guard, there may be something epic ahead.

The stock market direction is currently dictated by the utilities, NYA index and you can sprinkle some banks on top. Bulls need UTIL above 835.50 (now at 825.47) and the stock market will be in its glory days printing new lofty price highs.

Bears need UTIL below 823.98 pronto (now at 825.47) to create stock market negativity. Bulls are happy as long as UTIL remains above 824 this week. Next week the key UTIL number will be 795 so the bears have their work cut out for them. If UTIL begins dropping, through 824, and trending lower towards 800 by the end of this week and then in the 700's next week, that spells serious trouble for the US stock market going into year end. If bulls keep UTIL above 824 this week into next week, even if they remain above 8 hundo beginning next week for a few weeks, they are fine and the prospects for stocks into year end will be rosier.

Bears need the NYA index to fall below 12453 (now at 12491) and all Hades will break loose in markets. If NYA gives up 12453, the stock market will probably begin falling like a rock. Weak banks will also help the bears; they need XLF below 23.58.

Thus, bulls win with status quo or UTIL above 835.50. Bears win with UTIL below 824 and/or NYA below 12453. This is all you need to know for today. If UTIL or NYA turn bearish, either one would do, Keybot the Quant will likely flip back to the short side. Hence, the imminent turn notation is in the title line. The market is a crap-shoot right now. Choose your poison.

The last trade ran for 13 trading hours but does not meet the whipsaw criteria for the robot so, for now, the quant remains in the 2x leveraged ETF's. The price action hints that there may be a sideways chop for a few days and that makes chop suey out of bulls and bears alike and especially those holding leveraged ETF's. The algo program loses a percent on the last trade and the actual trading dumps -3.3% bludgeoned by the enduring strength in tech stocks. For the year thus far, the benchmark S&P 500, the US stock market, turns positive by a hair. The Keybot the Quant algorithm program is up +25% on the year and the actual trading generated by the robot is up over +34%. Keybot exits QID and enters SSO remaining in the 2x ETF's. If the turn would have occurred 2 or 3 hours sooner, then Keybot would probably be in a non-leveraged 1x ETF right now instead. Stay on guard, there may be crazy times ahead, as Patsy would croon.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short as the new week of trading is off and stumbling. The SPX is up +0.5% to 3232. UTIL is down at 814. Bulls must push UTIL above 824 or they got nothing. NYA is 12527. Bears must push NYA below 12453 or they got nothing. Keybot is starting to track the banks. Watch XLF 23.55. Price is at 24.03. Stocks will be noticeably dropping if XLF loses 23.55.

It appears it is a battle between the utes and NYA index. Two enter the cage match but only one will exit. Bears are beating utes with a baseball bat and are now running after the NYA to do it harm. Bulls are hoisting the NYA on their shoulders to carry it away from danger while at the same time trying to pull utilities to higher ground. One of them will flinch. Watch the banks since their directional movement will impact stock market direction currently.

If UTIL moves above 824, and the SPX moves above 3237 heading higher, Keybot will likely flip long. Consider the imminent turn to the long side to be in play if UTIL moves above 820 running towards 824. Bears are okay as long as they maintain weakness in utes and begin to drag the NYA and XLF lower. Stocks may be in a holding pattern until the Federal Reserve visits the mountaintop on Wednesday and brings the tablets down from on high telling global traders how to trade.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short. The bears are in control of the stock market with the algo number 20 points below the signal line. The historic market action continues. Bulls need stronger utilities and NYA index while bears need weaker utes and commodities.

The bull-bear lines in the sand for this week for utilities are UTIL 823.98, call it 824, and 835.53. UTIL begins the week at 825.74, call it 826. The bulls will be immediately helped at the opening bell Monday morning with UTIL above 824, that is if it remains that way. If futures are lower overnight, utes may instead drop at the open. Bulls need to drive UTIL higher up through 835.53 which will stop the stock market selling and stabilize equities. The bulls need NYA above 12470 (NYA begins only 8 points in the bear camp at 12462) which will immediately stabilize the stock market and clearly signal that stocks are headed higher again.

If the bulls can push UTIL above 835.53 and NYA above 12470, both are likely needed, Keybot may whipsaw back to the long side. If one of the two turns bullish consider the imminent turn to the long side to be in play for the quant.

The bears need to push UTIL below 824 out of the gate which will create stock market negativity. Bears must keep NYA bearish below 12470. Every hour that NYA remains bearish is another nail in the bull coffin. At the same time, bears need weaker commodities and to push GTX below 1688 (now at 1724).

The main Monday morning battleground is the utilities and NYA index. These two parameters tell you everything about stock market direction to begin the week. Keybot prints two prescheduled numbers this week one on Tuesday morning and the other on Friday morning. Friday is EOM and August trading begins Monday, 8/3/20. Stay alert. The stock market is in a precarious position right now and few realize it.

STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips short at munch time yesterday (Friday, 7/24/20) at SPX 3213. There has been lots of drama and erratic price action but the bears are making a move. The bulls are shocked. Will they power lower next week or stumble and fall on their face? The bears are in control of the stock market with the algo number 21 points below the signal line.

Friday was a nutso day. Stocks were weak out of the gate but utilities ran strongly higher. As the morning continued, the utes crumbled and the important NYA index fell down the steps, triggering Keybot to flip short. The utilities and the NYA index are the only two market parameters that stand in the way of the bull's plans to keep the equity party alive.

UTIL fell below both the 828 and 835-ish levels creating stock market negativity. However, the 828 palindrome is now a worthless number and is replaced with 824. UTIL is at 826 so those pesky bulls are not going gentle into the night; they plan to battle on Monday morning. If UTIL remains at 826, above the important 824 number for all of next week, the bulls will stabilize the stock market. If UTIL drops below 824, especially at the opening bell, the stock market is in big trouble.

The stock market drama will continue on Monday only this time the bears are in charge. On the last trade that ran for over 3 weeks, the algo program gains +5% and the actual trading gains over +10%. On the year, the S&P 500 benchmark US stock market index is down -0.6%, call it flat for 2020 thus far, while the actual trading generated by the Keybot the Quant algorithm is up over +37%. Keybot exited SSO and entered QID. The quant remains in the 2x leveraged ETF's and QID is a short play on the Nasdaq/tech arena.

As always, watch for a whipsaw, but the bulls likely need either UTIL above 835-ish, or, UTIL above 824 with NYA above 12470 to coax the algorithm to flip back to the bull side. Will Monday be a Black Monday?

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION -- TURN MAY BE IMMINENT

Keybot the Quant remains long with the bulls in charge with the algo number 12 points above the signal line. Keybot was active yesterday printing 8 numbers. The action is in the utilities and it was a bigtime battle at UTIL 835.57 as the quant told you ahead of time. UTIL price remains in the same place as yesterday above 827.83 creating bullishness for equities while also below 835.57 creating negativity in stocks. One side or the other will win.

Bulls need UTIL above 835.57 and the skies will open up to receive the stock market floating higher and higher.

Bears need UTIL below 827.83 to create broad stock market selling activity and to position the quant to go short. The stakes are higher than that. Bears must end today at UTIL 824 or lower to prove that stocks will be weak next week. Bears will also benefit from NYA dropping below 12470 and/or GTX below 1690. If any one of these three parameters turn bearish, and the SPX drops below the 3223 palindrome, the algo will likely flip short. Watch NYA closely since a drop back below 12470 will signal serious negativity for the stock market into year-end. Ditto if the utilities keep trending lower.

The bears have it on a silver platter if they want it. S&P futures are down -20 with the VIX at 27.80. The SPX begins the trading day at 3236 so a -20 point drop would place the S&P 500 at 3216 satisfying part of the above criteria for the robot to flip short. It looks like it all depends on UTIL 827.83 and/or NYA 12470.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION -- TURN MAY BE IMMINENT

Keybot the Quant remains long as the stock market remains elevated on the euphoric bullishness. The bulls remain in charge with the algo number 24 points above the signal line. Even though this is a substantive spread, the imminent turn notation remains in play since there are likely three potential scenarios ahead.

The bulls pump stocks higher after the utilities turn partially bullish. UTIL is at 830 which creates stock market bullishness above 827.83 this week but is also below 835.57 which creates market bearishness. Utes will make a decision today and the broad market will likely follow. UTIL prints above 833 yesterday for the HOD so the bulls are itching to prove it to the world that the upside rally has more legs.

The bears need weaker utes and to push UTIL below 827.83 pronto. Next week, this bull-bear line in the sand drops to 824 so the bears only have two days to drive UTIL from 830 down below 824. If UTIL finishes the week above 824, the bulls are in okay shape for next week. If UTIL drops below 824 trending lower over the next couple days, that is an extremely negative signal for the stock market.

Bears also need NYA below 12472 and/or GTX below 1690. Something's gotta give since the bulls and bears have each stretched their games to the limit. One of them is going to crack at any time.

So the three scenarios are as follows. First, UTIL overtakes 835.57 which verifies that the bulls will maintain an elevated stock market that will remain buoyant through the end of the year. Second, UTIL fails at 827.83 ushering in negativity, however, bears will also need either NYA or GTX to also join the bear camp, and the SPX to drop below 3253, for Keybot to likely flip short. This sounds like a lot but if things turn south it could happen quickly. The third scenario would be UTIL, NYA and GTX all reversing into the bear camp which may cause the robot to immediately flip short.

The bulls are happy in the early going. European indexes will begin trading in a few minutes ditto the VIX. S&P futures are up +13 ramping higher over the last half hour. The stage is set the die is cast. Bulls need stronger utilities for a walk away victory in the stock market going forward. Bears need weaker utilities, NYA index and commodities.

The stronger euro, popping to 1.15 then 1.16, after the ECB meeting, tanks the US dollar (they move inversely since each basket contains about two-thirds of each other's currency) which pumps commodities, stocks, gold, silver and emerging markets higher. The promises of more government stimulus, and of course Fed and other central bank easy money, and the hype around vaccine development for the coronavirus (COVID-19) contribute to the euphoric highs in equities. S&P futures are now +17 receiving a pump into the European open.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION -- TURN MAY BE IMMINENT

Keybot the Quant remains long. The bears threaten to take equities lower but the bulls regain stock market control with the algo number 12 points above the signal line. The bulls pumped the NYA index higher to win the day. Ditto commodities. Utilities, however, remain weak so the battle continues.

Bulls need stronger utilities to ride the path to stock market victory and new record highs. It is the only major sector that is not yet providing bull energy to the broad stock market. Bulls need UTIL above 827.83 and also above 835.39 to pave the way to stock market glory. UTIL begins the hump day session at 820. Each day that UTIL remains below the 828 palindrome is another day where negativity is building within the stock market.

Bears need NYA back below 12469 pronto. NYA begins at 12509. This price behavior is key for the broad stock market. As the NYA goes, so goes the stock market. Bears also need GTX below 1688 (now at 1730). The spurt higher in stocks, commodities, gold and silver the last few days is due to the dollar dropping. The euro pops above 1.15 after the ECB drama late last week.

Bulls need to keep the NYA above 12469 and moving higher while pumping utilities. Bears need to keep utilities weak and trending lower while pulling the NYA back below 12469 and/or GTX below 1688. If NYA or GTX turn bearish, and the SPX drops below 3248, trending lower, Keybot will likely flip short. The SPX begins at 3257 so bears would need at least a 9 point drop in the S&P 500. S&P futures are up +5 and the VIX is at 24.60 six hours before the opening bell for the regular US trading session. The beat goes on.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION -- TURN MAY BE IMMINENT

Keybot the Quant remains long but is champing at the bit to go short. The algo number is a point below the signal line wanting the model to flip short but the internal parameters will not yet fully latch to permit the move. If the SPX drops below 3215, Keybot will likely flip short hence the imminent turn notation is in the title line. The S&P 500 begins the Tuesday session at 3252 so the bears have their work cut out for them needing a 37 point drop. The bulls throw up another barrier pumping the S&P futures up +19 about 7 hours before the opening bell for the regular US trading session. Nonetheless, it is on a silver platter for the bears if they want it.

Bulls must immediately push the NYA index above 12468 and/or UTIL above 827.83. Since the quant is in position to flips short, it likely will at any time any day ahead, unless the bulls immediately push one of these two parameters into the bull camp. If NYA or UTIL do not turn bullish, than the bulls are in big trouble and stocks will likely begin selling off.

Bears are in good shape now focused on driving the SPX price lower so they can seal the deal. Bears must keep the NYA and UTIL weak. Bears will benefit from weaker commodities and need GTX below 1686 which will send the stock market lower.

Note the failure in utes yesterday. This is uber important. The two key bull-bear lines in the sand for this week are 827.83 and 835.35. UTIL is at 817 in the bear camp. This behavior will create sustainable weakness in the stock market, if it continues. Next week, UTIL must remain below 823.98, call it 824, to keep the bear party alive. Thus, check to see how UTIL ends the week since above 824 signals that the bulls will fight back next week while a close this week below 824 signals trouble next week for equities.

The quant wants to flip short but needs the SPX below 3215. Bulls need a stronger NYA index and stronger utilities to save the day. Bears will growl loudly if commodities weaken.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long as the stock market tension increases. This week should provide resolution on market direction one way or the other. The bulls remain in charge with the algo number 17 points above the signal line.

Bulls need stronger utilities and NYA index to push the stock market higher while bears need weaker utes, commodities and banks.

Bulls need UTIL above 835.15 and/or NYA above 12482. Either parameter flipping bullish will send the stock market strongly higher and if both jump into the bull camp, stocks will be flying higher and not looking back.

Bears need UTIL below 827.83 pronto which is a negative market signal. Bears would then gather downside strength with GTX falling below 1685 and/or XLF under 23.35. If 2 of the 3 parameters flip bearish, and the SPX drops below 3206 trending lower, the quant will likely flip short. If only 1 of the 3 parameters flip short, which would likely be the utilities with UTIL losing 827.83, that on its own may not be enough to flip the model short. Watch for a jog move by the utilities where UTIL price falls below the 828 palindrome, then back above for a little while, then slips back below, etc.. If you see this price behavior occurring back and forth across 827.83, Keybot is likely preparing itself to flip short. If UTIL falls below 828, and then jogs back above, and then below again, and the SPX drops below 3206 trending lower, Keybot may flip short.

Monday and the week ahead may be one for the record books; make sure your computer chair is equipped with a harness and helmet. The new moon peaks Monday after lunchtime US East Coast time; the darkest time of the month. Keybot does not print any pre-scheduled numbers this week.

Watch utilities and the NYA index out of the gate on Monday since they will immediately tell you the broad stock market direction ahead. The SPX begins the week at 3225 only six points negative on the year, call it flat, that started at 3231.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long. UTIL comes up to the 828 palindrome as the quant told you before it happened. What an amazing robot. Consider yourselves lucky to view its real-time performance; for as long as it is made available.

UTIL 827.83, UTIL 835.48 and NYA 12482 will dictate the market story on Monday. UTIL begins at 828.60 which creates market bullishness above 827.83 but market sogginess remains with it below 835.48. Utes will likely pick a direction on Monday morning. Same dealio with the NYA index. It will pivot higher or lower on Monday and the broad stock market will go in the same direction.

Stocks are obviously at a major pivot right now. Will next week smell like beautiful roses as utilities and the NYA index skyrocket higher sending the broad stock market into the stratosphere, or, will the smell of napalm fill the air with the major indexes and utilities collapsing lower? The one-month plus of rampant complacency and market fearlessness hints that napalm may win but Keybot the Quant only sees 1's and 0's. Time will tell. The bulls are in charge with the algo number 19 points above the signal line. Next week may be historic for the stock market.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long as the market drama continues. The bulls are in charge with the algo number 22 points above the signal line. Banks rally and volatility drops so the bulls are walking around with their chests puffed out as stocks remain strong.

There are only two major parameters that are bearish currently; the NYA index and utilities. Bulls need the NYA above 12482 (now at 12350) which would be a bigtime bullish signal. Equities will run strongly higher if it happens so watch it closely. If NYA stalls here, it will be time for the bears to fight back.

Utilities are key. As previously explained, the key bull-bear lines in the sand, there are two of them, for all of next week are 827.83 and 835.15. Memorize these numbers since they will dictate whether the stock market marches sideways to sideways higher into the end of the year, or, if equities will fail and fall apart into EOY. UTIL begins Friday morning trading at 809.52. This is major drama.

If UTIL ends the day and week at 4 PM EST above 827.83, the bulls are in clover to begin next week and equities should remain buoyant and floating higher. If UTIL closes today above 835.15, equities will remain elevated through the end of the year; the bulls will be joyous going forward.

If UTIL closes below 827.83 today, the stock market will be in trouble out of the gate come Monday morning. If UTIL finishes negative on the day today, take that as a very negative signal for the stock market going forward. If UTIL ends the day sub 800, the stock market will be in major trouble next week. Thus, check the number at 4 PM EST and see which scenario it falls into.

Bears cannot get any downside traction due to the constant happy talk by the crony capitalism handlers. The vaccine news created a pump this week, Madame Lagarde was pumping yesterday, other central banks chime in saying they will keep pumping and to make sure stocks can stay buoyant into the weekend, President Trump promises a payroll tax cut overnight so he is pumping all evening long. S&P futures are +9 with the VIX at 28.00 about six hours before the opening bell on Wall Street.

Bears must prevent that NYA 12482 from occurring with all their might, if not, they are toast. Bears must also stab utilities lower from here forward which would be a sign of not only short term trouble but equity selling into EOY. Bears will benefit with weaker commodities. Bears need GTX below 1679 (now at 1706) to create stock market sogginess.

Keybot prints a pre-scheduled number before the opening bell and another one after. The quant has been quiet this week only printing two numbers thus far. Perhaps Friday will bring fireworks?

The bottom line is that the bulls will catapult stocks into the stratosphere if they can attain NYA 12482 or the UTIL 828 palindrome. Bears win if GTX loses 1679. The bears likely need both GTX to fail and XLF to fail below 23.35 to place the quant in position to go short so that may depend on bank earnings today and if traders begin selling the news, or not. Watch the utilities. It cannot be overstated how important the UTIL 828 line in the sand is today.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long as the stock market roller coaster ride continues. The quant did no print any numbers on Monday unimpressed with the big rally, and then also unimpressed with the big intraday collapse. Yesterday, stocks rally on strong banks and biotech stocks. Commodities stuttered out of the gate falling on their face but they immediately recovered. The bulls remain in charge of the stock market with the algo number 22 points above the signal line.

The bulls need the NYA index above 12479 (now at 12204) which will seal the deal for new record highs for the stock market. If the NYA moves higher, the broad stock market should be floating higher as well. If the NYA drops, equities should be soggy as well.

The bears path to victory is with weaker banks and commodities. Higher volatility will also help but the bears mainly need XLF below 23.26 (now at 23.68) and/or GTX below 1683 (now at 1693). GTX ruptured yesterday but then quickly recovered to join the bullish fun. Bank earnings releases started yesterday and JPM beats, of course they do, with the other banks a mixed bag. More bank earnings are on tap through this week. Thus, if the bank numbers are weak, that may sink XLF so all you can do is keep an eye on it. If XLF loses 23.26, you will visibly see the broad stock market dropping.

If either XLF or GTX join the bear camp, the stock market will be moving lower. The quant likely needs to see both parameters to fail to flip short so the imminent turn to the short side will be in play if both banks and commodities fail today. If both fail and the SPX slips below 3128, Keybot will likely flip short.

The ECB will provide more easy money goodies tomorrow morning so stocks may be in a holding pattern today until Madame Lagarde brings the tablets down from on high and tells global traders how to trade.

Bulls are rooting for super bank results and a weaker dollar to drive commodities higher. The bulls have already decorated the town hall with balloons and crepe paper awaiting the NYA to move above 12479 which guarantees bull victory through the end of the year into 2021.

Bears are rooting for disappointing bank earnings, although the bar is set so low that even Aunt Mildred in her white orthopedic shoes can easily step over, and weaker commodities that will seal the downside dealio. Price action remains erratic and unstable. Do not be surprised to see epic stock market price activity over the coming days.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long. The bulls poked a stick into the bear's eyes at 1 PM EST Friday afternoon goosing the banks. Bank earnings are on tap in the week ahead so investors must expect happy results. As banks go, so goes the stock market.

The bulls need NYA above 12497 (now at 12076) which will unleash super bullishness and record equity prices ahead.

The bears need weaker banks and commodities. Bears need XLF under 23.19 (now at 23.46) and GTX under 1681 (now at 1708). Both parameters likely need to turn bearish to cause the quant to flip short.

Thus, bulls are cheering for strength in the NYA index while bears are cheering for weaker banks and commodities. These three parameters are currently dictating broad stock market direction.

Watch the utilities. UTIL is at 791 way above the key bull-bear line in the sand this week at 706. This helps create buoyancy in equities. Next week, the week of 7/20/2020, the key bull-bear line in the sand is the UTIL 828 palindrome. The other key bull-bear line in the sand for this week and next is 835.27-ish. So there it is. UTIL 835 is important this week and 828-835 next week. If UTIL crosses above these levels, the stock market is going to rally bigtime and the off-the-charts euphoric bullishness in the markets right now would be justified. If, however, UTIL stalls in here, and begins slip-sliding away, stocks are in major trouble and a potential crash will be on the table. Now do you understand the importance of the utilities and the levels mentioned? Watch UTIL 835 this week and 828 and 835 next week since they will dictate the intermediate path (weeks and months) ahead for the stock market. Check the closing price for UTIL at 4 PM EST Friday afternoon and compare it to the 828 line in the sand for next week since it will give you a heads-up on stock market direction for that week. The behavior in the utilities over the next two weeks will likely dictate whether the US stock market trends higher into year end, or lower.

Keybot prints two pre-scheduled numbers this week both on Friday morning. Bulls will be happy if banks remain well bid. Bears need to slap the NYA lower.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long. The bears flexed their muscles with banks failing but commodities hung in there and would not permit further selling. The quant did not print any numbers on Thursday.

Bulls need XLF above 23.17; it begins the Friday session at 22.68. Bears need GTX below 1681 (now at 1689). One of the two will flinch and dictate stock market direction forward. It is banks versus commodities. If banks remain bearish, and commodes bullish, the stock market will continue staggering and stumbling sideways like a drunk in Times Square.

If GTX drops below 1681, consider the imminent turn to the short side to be in play, and if the SPX then drops below 3116, Keybot will likely flip short. It would require a 36 point and more selloff in the S&P 500 today.

7/12/20; 7:00 PM EST =

7/8/20; 10:14 AM EST = +26; signal line is +14

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long and the song remains the same with banks and commodities dictating broad stock market direction. Well, look at that. XLF recovers higher late-day yesterday and ends exactly at the bull-bear line in the sand at 23.17 called out by the Keybot the Quant algorithm before it happens. Remarkable. Obviously, plain and simple, as banks go, so goes the stock market. The US pre-market will begin posting numbers shortly so XLF will tell you which way the market goes today.

The bulls remain in charge with the algo number only 12 points above the signal line. Keybot prints 4 numbers this week thus far, a sleepy week, one on Monday, one on Tuesday and two yesterday.

If the bulls, and banks, win, and XLF moves above 23.17, the stock market will be running higher with the universally bullish crowd nowadays all patting each other on the back, telling one another how smart they all are, and looking forward to more huge gains ahead. Bulls would then receive further upside fuel if the NYA index crosses above 12497.

The bears have to hold that resistance line at 23.17. If XLF is spanked down today, the bears are going to begin growling and it may be the start of something very ugly. Bears need weaker commodities to try and flip the model short. Keybot is tracking GTX 1681 as a key bull-bear line in the sand. GTX is at 1709 so the bears have their work cut out for them if they want to create market trouble. Generally, a rising dollar sends commodities lower and a weaker dollar sends commodes higher.

The caution flag is out. If GTX falls below 1681, consider the imminent turn notation to be in the title line and if the SPX then slips below 3137, trending lower, Keybot will likely flip short. This would require about a 33 point drop in the S&P 500 during the Thursday session. S&P futures are flat and the VIX is at 28.06 about 5 hours before the opening bell for the regular US trading session.

Watch the banks; they tell you the stock market direction story today. Bulls need XLF above 23.17, running higher, or they got nothing. Bears need GTX below 1681, along with weaker banks, to prove that the sell side will dominate going forward.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains long as the last of the smoke from the fireworks dissipates and Scruffy the dog eats the remaining hotdog on the grill. The Independence Day holiday is over and hung-over traders are back at their desks. The bulls are joyous to begin the second half of the year. Asia is happy. Everyone is euphorically bullish knowing that central banks will always support stocks, to protect the wealthy class, so there is no worries ahead (moral hazard).

The bulls pumped utilities last week creating broad market lift. UTIL 759 is a key bull-bear line in the sand this week. UTIL price was pumped to the 787 palindrome on Friday to give the bulls the upper hand in the stock market. Next week the comparison number for utilities becomes even easier for bulls at UTIL 706 but the week after, starting 7/20/20, UTIL must be above the 828 palindrome or there will be stock market trouble. So watch the closing print for UTIL on Friday, 7/17/20, at 4 PM EST; write it down on a sticky note so you remember, since it will provide a heads-up for market direction the following week. Bulls look okay at 787 right now well above this week's 759 line in the sand but keep an eye on it as the week progresses. The stock market will weaken if 759 fails this week.

The quant is identifying banks and commodities as the major drivers of market direction currently. Bulls need stronger banks while bears need weaker commodities. Bulls need XLF above 23.21 (now at 22.97 only pennies away) to ignite the upside in the stock market.

Bears need GTX below 1679 (now at 1688 only a few dollars away) to create stock market selling. A weaker dollar will send commodities higher. Oil is up in early trading. S&P futures are up +40. In very early trading, XLF sneaks higher to 23.08. If the futures hold and stocks receive a big pop at the opening bell to begin the new week of trading after the holiday, watch XLF. If XLF does not take out 23.21, then the bulls got nothing and the stock market will roll over lower. If XLF moves above 23.21, it is party-time for the bulls.

Keybot does not print any pre-scheduled numbers this week. Last Thursday was a very active session before the holiday with the robot printing 8 numbers including the pre-scheduled number. The bulls are in charge of the stock market with the algo number 17 points above the signal line. Bears likely need to push GTX under 1679 and let it jog above and below this level a couple times or so to position the quant to go short; at that point the bears would also need the SPX to trade below 3125 to cause the algo to go short.

STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips to the bull side after the opening bell yesterday at SPX 3059. The bulls slap around the bears like a kitten playing with a ball of yarn. The bears were on the verge of stock market failure at SPX 3002 only 2 days ago but instead the bulls pump the S&P 500 one hundo points higher to 3100. The bulls are in control but the erratic and unstable price action continues and the algo number is only 8 points above the signal line.

Bears need weaker utilities and higher volatility neither of which are cooperating this week, however, utes are of great interest these days. Bears need UTIL below 758 by tomorrow's close, and through next week, to create stock market negativity. The caution flag is out. Bears may simply try to limp into the holiday weekend maintaining flat equities. Today may be a flat day ahead of the jobs report tomorrow. Bears likely need the VIX above 38 and SPX below 3050 to flip short, which seems unlikely, but you really never know these days what will happen next.

Despite the bullish euphoria to begin the week, the banks could not hold their breakout level. XLF 23.24 is the bull-bear line in the sand. Yesterday the XLF tagged 23.30 but closed at 23.14 with the quant's numbers, that have been forecasted the last couple days, right in the middle. Isn't that impressive? Banks and commodities determine if the bulls have further legs higher. Bulls need XLF above 23.24 which is only a dime higher. Watch this closely since it will tell you what the stock market does today. Ditto GTX 1677. GTX is at 1651 on the bear side and a move above 1677 will pop the US stock market higher. Bulls need XLF 23.24 and/or GTX 1677 to keep the upside party in equities going strong. If stocks rally but neither of these two parameters flip bullish, stocks will roll over lower.

Today is the first day of trading in July, the first day of the month, Q3 and H2. The US Monthly Jobs Report is on tap tomorrow morning released a day early since markets are closed on Friday to celebrate the Independence Day holiday on Saturday.

On the last trade, which ran for a week, the quant program gains a smidgeon but the actual trading loses a smidge. The S&P 500 benchmark index, the US stock market, is down -5.3% thus far this year. The Keybot the Quant program is up +21% on the year and the actual trading is up +27% thus far this year. Keybot flips out of SDS and into SSO remaining in the 2x leveraged ETF's. Note that the stock market dropped a little on the last trade as the model predicted, but SDS did not go up as would be expected, and instead logged a small loss during the same period. You see this often with leveraged ETF's when the time period is moving flattish.

So the bulls have the ball again but their legs are shaky as they hobble down field. Watch the banks and commodities. Bulls need XLF above 23.24 to signal the all-clear for upside joy. XLF is trading down a hair in the pre-market at 23.13. Bulls need to eat their spinach like Popeye if they want to lift stocks higher.
