Saturday Market Update 

 

Hey, TMI Editor Doug Fogel here.

Welcome to this week's edition of Saturday Market Update


Today, we want you to be aware there's a good chance the market will correct sharply soon. The reason – it's simply gone up too far, too fast.

To illustrate, on August 18, the S&P 500 closed at an all-time high of 3,389.78. That's a mere 151 days since the March 23 bottom of 2,237.40.

That's an astounding 51.5% rise in a shade over five months – the quickest turnaround from bear to bull market in the history of the S&P.

This unprecedented development warrants caution, as evidenced by the S&P's Bullish Percent Index (BPI).

Right now it sits at the 80% level. Once a chart like this gets above 70% (the red highlighted area) it's considered overbought. 

 



So right now the market is deep into overbought territory.

Look at the red 'O-columns' that follow the purple arrows, and you'll see what historically has happened when the S&P has reached levels like this.

When you get a BPI reading this high, you need to be careful.

So if you own any underperforming stocks, it's worth considering unloading them to generate cash you can use to take advantage of a correction.

The bottom line is that, while our signals say a downturn is likely, they are NOT forecasting a market crash in the near term. So any dip will provide opportunities to buy strong stocks at a discount.
