Market Direction Model - Model switches to BUY on December 21, 2018

MDM has switched to a BUY signal. The CBOE Options Total Put/Call Ratio spiked to a near all-time high of 1.82 on Thursday. This may be a short-lived signal, as risk will be kept tight on this particular signal. The recent put/call spike to 1.37 did nothing to stem the selling. Further, out to year end, the performance of the general market after midterm elections usually goes higher. Going back to 1990 year end, the major indices finished flat to higher in every case except for 1994. This time, however, is playing out to be worse than 1994.

All of this suggests the selling is more pronounced than we have seen since 2011. Back in late 2011, the steep selling was due to ending quantitative easing, when the NASDAQ Composite lost -20.3% peak-to-trough. The Federal Reserve therefore had to reinstate QE to stem the bleeding. Will history repeat? Or rhyme? A softer Fed implies a reversal of Powell's recent statement of 2 instead of 3 rate hikes. While 2 is less than 3, it was still considered heavy-handed hawishness.
