C Fund Chart

Post by Tomanyiron »

This daily chart of S&P 500 Large Cap Stocks shows what may be a warning sign.
As you can see the On Balance Volume indicator (faint brown line at the top) is still climbing. But the “Know Sure Thing” overlay appears to be rounding-over, and may be headed toward a bearish cross. The chart covers two years, and the vertical red lines shows the past 7 major times that happened.

Your chart indicates the C Fund has risen since Feb 2016. What warning are you trying to convey?

I'm in C and hoping it keeps going up too. A lot of the daily plans move to C next week.

The short answer Cron is: A unique version of C fund momentum has slowed. And now has reached the point, that it looks very similar to past times when there was a pull-back.

The actual bearish cross has not occurred yet. It could happen soon, or never. And in the past, (most of the time), it took a few days, for prices to start the trend down.

This is FYI, not a "Sell, Sell, Sell" warning. Anyone can research "On Balance Volume" and “Know Sure Thing” indicators. Then make your own decision.

I believe your warning better applies to the S Fund that has a more flattened yield curve. I wish you had IFT'd into the S Fund to convince me to make my move a few days earlier.

Alarm bells should have gone off for S a week ago when the standard MACD (12,29,9) went negative, and the Parabolic SAR flipped over. However, an early warning should have been sounded a few days earlier, based on a faster MACD (5,20,7).

C now appears to be where S was a week ago.
