STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant whipsaws back to the long side this morning at SPX 4679. The bulls throw a huge party with the Fed refilling the punchbowl and all 4 negative parameters flip back to the bull side catapulting stocks skyward creating the whipsaw. Do not be surprised if the stock market whipsaws back to the short side over the next day or two.

That was a wild, wild move. Bears got nothing unless they reverse 2 of the following 4 parameters; RTH 190.00, VIX 19.36, SOX 3787 or CPER 26.72. The stock market rally stops if 1 of the 4 flips. Downside in stocks begins with 2 flipping bearish. Bulls are on easy street if all 4 remains bullish. The parameters should flip negative in the order shown, when they decide to flip bearish.

On the last trade, a whipsaw 1-day wonder, the Keybot the Quant program and actual trading both lose a percent with the program down -4% on the year thus far and the actual trading down -3% in 2022. The benchmark SPX is down -2% so far this year. Since the quant whipsawed again, the robot will remain in single 1x ETF's until the second week of February. Markets are choppy and erratic, that is obvious so far this week. Choppy markets chew-up bulls and bears alike so the robot drops down into 1x ETF's until the price action stabilizes. Chop suey. Keybot the Quant exits SH and enters DIA.

Retail stocks, volatility, chips and copper are controlling stock market direction currently.
