7 reasons to embrace the melt-up into year-end

Preface: Explaining our market timing models We maintain several market timing models, each with differing time horizons. The "Ultimate Market Timing Model" is a long-term market timing model based on the research outlined in our post, Building the ultimate market timing model. This model tends to generate only a handful of signals each decade.
The Trend Asset Allocation Model is an asset allocation model that applies trend-following principles based on the inputs of global stock and commodity prices. This model has a shorter time horizon and tends to turn over about 4-6 times a year. The performance and full details of a model portfolio based on the out-of-sample signals of the Trend Model can be found here.
 
 
My inner trader uses a trading model, which is a blend of price momentum (is the Trend Model becoming more bullish, or bearish?) and overbought/oversold extremes (don't buy if the trend is overbought, and vice versa). Subscribers receive real-time alerts of model changes, and a hypothetical trading record of the email alerts is updated weekly here. The hypothetical trading record of the trading model of the real-time alerts that began in March 2016 is shown below.

 

The latest signals of each model are as follows:

  • Ultimate market timing model: Buy equities (Last changed from “sell” on 28-Jul-2023)*
  • Trend Model signal: Bullish (Last changed from “neutral” on 28-Jul-2023)*
  • Trading model: Neutral (Last changed from “neutral” on 14-Nov-2023)*
* The performance chart and model readings have been delayed by a week out of respect to our paying subscribers.

Update schedule: I generally update model readings on my site on weekends. I am also on X/Twitter at @humblestudent. Subscribers receive real-time alerts of trading model changes, and a hypothetical trading record of those email alerts is shown here.

A cup and handle breakoutMuch has been made about a nascent cup and handle pattern in the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ 100, which would have strong bullish implications if either index were to stage upside breakouts. While investors wait for those breakouts, here is a cup and handle that has staged a definitive upside breakout on both an absolute basis and relative to the S&P 500. It was made by the NYSE FANG+ Index, which represents megacap growth stocks. 
 
In light of the strong price momentum exhibited by the stock market in the wake of the Zweig Breadth Thrust buy signal, I believe these are strong indications that investors and traders should embrace a market melt-up scenario into year-end and possibly beyond.
