STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short as the stock market drama intensifies. Oil futures shoot over one hundo. The clock just fell off the wall in the Oval Office. King Donnie's orange head is turning red worrying about the stock market going down the drain due to the Iran War.

S&P futures are down over 100 points responding to the wild spike higher in oil prices, that will create higher gasoline prices, that will negatively impact consumer sentiment and spending.

The bears have the ball with the algo number 23 points below the signal line. Yinz probably noticed the drama with the red metal. As copper goes, so goes the stock market. The quant identifies CPER 35.65 as the bull/bear line in the sand and price closed for the weekend at...... wait for it ......... wait a bit longer for it ........ 35.63, in the bear camp creating negativity, but only two cents away from the bull camp.

If CPER remains below 35.65 and moving lower, the stock market will deteriorate. If CPER moves above 35.65, the stock market selling will stop and stabilize. Thus, watch copper futures overnight. Whatever direction they go, the stock market will likely follow. Bears benefit from weaker copper, weaker utilities, and weaker commodities. Copper is getting bludgeoned down -2.5%.

Bulls need stronger copper and also higher chips, retail stocks, and banks, and lower volatility. A lot can happen overnight, but it appears that the bears want to come and play tomorrow. Let It Drop.
