<h4>Swing In Sentiment</h4>



Please click here for an enlarged chart of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).



Note the following:



<ul>
<li>The chart shows when our signal was given to raise cash and hedges one day before the Iran war started. </li>



<li>The chart shows that a signal was given to deploy cash and reduce hedges. Hedges had become very profitable and it was time to book some profits.</li>



<li>Yesterday afternoon, President Trump said the Iran war would end &#34;soon.&#34;  President Trump also said the operation was ahead of schedule.</li>



<li>The chart shows a move up in the stock market yesterday.  The move was triggered by a vicious short squeeze and extremely aggressive momo crowd buying.  In the early trade this morning, the momo crowd was again buying aggressively.  However, as the stock market rallied further, it has been met with selling.</li>



<li>Looking ahead at various scenarios and their probabilities, the following have changed this morning:
<ul>
<li>Sentiment has swung from extremely negative yesterday morning to extremely positive this morning.</li>



<li>The interpretation of such a dramatic swing in sentiment depends on positioning.  Investors gain a big edge when they understand positioning.
<ul>
<li>When the positioning is very negative, a quick swing from extremely negative to extremely positive sentiment is a buy signal.  </li>



<li>When the positioning is very positive, a dramatic quick swing from extremely negative sentiment to extremely positive sentiment historically caps the upside, and often, the rally is a selling opportunity. </li>



<li>Right now, positioning is very positive.  For this reason, the dramatic swing in sentiment from extreme negative yesterday morning to extreme positive this morning is a new data point that is negative.  </li>



<li>Remember, sentiment is only one of the many data points that needs to be considered.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Iran has responded negatively to President Trump.  Iran does not want a ceasefire.  In our analysis, these are the reasons:
<ul>
<li>The Iranian regime believes that the U.S. and Israel will take advantage of the ceasefire to regroup and attack Iran again in a few months.</li>



<li>The Iranian regime has come to the conclusion that the U.S. and Israel will take advantage of the ceasefire to kill the new Iranian leadership.</li>



<li>The Iranian regime believes that they can last longer than the U.S.</li>



<li>The Iranian regime believes that if the war continues, then the Republican party will lose the midterm elections.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Protecting refineries of U.S. allies in the Gulf has been a top priority of the U.S.  The news is a fire has broken out near a refinery in Abu Dhabi after an Iranian drone strike.  This indicates that even after President Trump claimed that Iran does not have much left, the U.S. has not been able to protect the area around the refinery.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>The sum total of the foregoing is that the potential of a miscalculation both by the U.S. and Iran is much higher today than it was yesterday.  Herein lies the risk.  As an actionable item, investors need to understand that there is still a fair probability of the stock market falling to zone 1 (support) shown on the chart.  </li>



<li>A positive event ahead is that NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) will hold its annual GPU Tech Conference (GTC) next week.  GTC has historically been a catalyst for buying in AI stocks.</li>



<li>Key economic data is ahead this week.
<ul>
<li>Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be released tomorrow at 8:30am ET.</li>



<li>Housing starts and initial jobless claims will be released Thursday at 8:30am ET.</li>



<li>The Fed's favorite inflation gauge PCE, durable orders, personal incoming and spending, and GDP will be released at 8:30am ET.</li>



<li>JOLTS job openings and University of Michigan consumer sentiment will be released Friday at 10am ET.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
