The Asbury 6: Positive as of November 2nd |
Courtesy of Asbury Research LLC |
The graphic shows that, through Friday, January 5th, four of the Asbury 6 constituent metrics are green (positive). The “A6” shifted to a Positive status on Nov 2nd while the S&P 500 has subsequently risen by as much as 11.0%. Four or more constituent metrics in one direction, either Positive (green) or Negative (red), indicate a tactical bias. The dates in each cell indicate when each individual constituent of the “A6” turned either positive (green) or negative (red). When all Asbury 6 constituent metrics are negative, market internals are the least conducive to adding risk to portfolios. |

Correction Protection Model (CPM): Risk on as of November 2nd
CPM, our primary quantitative model for the US stock market which uses the S&P 500 (SPX) as a proxy, shifted to “Risk On” (increasing market exposure) as of the close on November 2nd from “Risk Off” (decreasing market exposure) on October 25th. |
Conclusion, Investment Implications, Strategy
The benchmark S&P 500 (SPX) finished Friday’s session at 4697, down 73 points or 1.5% for the week. The benchmark US index is currently trading just 2.6% below its 4819 January 2022 all-time high after testing and failing to exceed this major overhead resistance level in late December. The US stock market remains exceptionally vulnerable to a corrective decline from at or near its current level. The latest ETF asset flow data indicates that a decline below SPX 4694 would put 7.0% of newly-added assets invested in the SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) into the red. Should this occur, it could trigger a deeper and more aggressive decline and set the stage for an additional 2.0% decline to test primary Tactical support at 4637 to 4607. Weekly Summary / Key Levels To Watch The benchmark S&P 500 (SPX) finished Friday’s session at 4697, down 73 points or 1.5% for the week. The benchmark US index is currently trading just 2.6% below its 4819 January 2022 all-time high, which is major overhead resistance. Primary Tactical support is situated 1.3% to 1.9% below the market at 4637 to 4607, which represents the February 2022 and July 2023 benchmark highs. If a corrective decline is beginning, we view this area as a conservative initial downside target. Major underlying support is 7.0% to 7.9% below the market at 4369 to 4325 and represents the 200-day MA and the August 2022 benchmark high. |

The S&P 500 Is Particularly Vulnerable Below 4694 |

The lower panel of this chart shows that through Friday Jan 5th, the total net assets (assets under management or AUM) invested in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) expanded by $31 billion or 7.0% since Dec 14th. The green highlights in the upper panel show that the lowest price that SPX has traded since then is 4694: five times, on Dec 14th, Dec 29th, Jan 3rd, Jan 4th, and Jan 5th. This indicates 4694 is the current pressure point in the index as a decline below it would put 7.0% of the newly-added AUM in SPY into the red. And, should this occur, it could trigger a deeper and more aggressive decline. |
