Weekly chart of S&P 500 index
A month ago, our FEMKX timing system turned positive, and two weeks ago, we commented that this is a "V" shape rebound (recovery) as S&P 500 index climbed above its 28 week moving average. The momentum indicator STO[15,1] of S&P 500 just crossed above 80 into the overbought region but still has room to grow while the index is firmly above its support line. We expect the upward momentum to keep the recent rally going for another few weeks.
