This Indicator Was Spot on In May


The $OEXA200R (the percentage of S&P 100 stocks above their 200 DMA) is a technical indicator available on StockCharts.com that can be used to forecast conservative entry and exit points for the stock market.
The OEXA is used to find the "sweet spot" time period in the market when you have the best chance of making money. See Is This the Best Stock Market Indicator Ever? for a discussion of this technical tool.

Interpretation:
The OEXA200R ended the week down 6 points at 53%, having previously dropped to the crucial 65% "Sell it all!" line on May 15.
Of the three secondary indicators:
  • MACD has flipped from positive to NEGATIVE (red line above black).
  • Slow STO has flipped from positive to NEGATIVE (red line above black).
  • RSI is below 50 and is NEGATIVE.
Commentary
Well, I hope you "went away in May" (May 15 to be precise, you were warned) because June has started off with a bang. The unemployment numbers are a disaster and we still have the end of Operation Twist and the Grexit to look forward to. The next stop is when OEXA200R hits 50% and the bottom really falls out. This might be one long, hot summer.
