Similar conditions have occurred 47 times in the previous 336 weeks, with the majority sentiment (Lower) being correct 45% of the time and with an average S&P500 move of 0.24% Higher for the week.

NOTE: The following open-ended answers are solely the opinions of the anonymous respondents to this survey. Responses are mostly unedited, but some have been reformatted slightly for to make them easier to read. Some irrelevant responses (e.g. “none”), or anything obviously fake, or copy and pasted responses have been omitted. All-caps responses have been changed to all lowercase. All responses for each week, unedited, are available in the raw data spreadsheets at TimingResearch.com/data.

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.

“Higher” Respondent Answers:

• fears ease
• Friday last hour int0 cl0se
• Fridays close
• ready for a small bounce then down further.
• Market appears to have retested the bottom this Friday (March 06, 2020) and recovered into closing. I believe the recent market correction was initiated due to the Corona-virus (Covid-19) becoming a global pandemic.
• The s&p can only go so low before a bounce back. Only an opinion…

“Lower” Respondent Answers:

• China flue & loss of containment in Europe
• greetings from Coronavirus – impacting industry supply-chains, travel, airlines und many more …
• The fool US president, corona virus, and drain on consumer buying power resulting form excess concentration of wealth in too few hands.
• an increase in infections and deaths going to take the mkts lower
• In daily vision it’s poised for an upside, but if you look at a weekly chart it’s not poised for a weekly bounce. My 70% chance it’s because statistically it could bounce after having a retest of the lows, however the Corona Virus pandemic it’s still a risk and it’s not going away soon.
• While I was a little surprised with some of the upswings after the hudge down days, I am not yet convinced that the selling pacic of the corona virus is over. For this reason I voted down for the week but with a low conviction as we watch this new threat progress. Not to make light of this situation but I plan to stay calm and use this time as a buying oppertunity.
• Downward trend
• Last weel performance
• broke major trend line
• production slow down china, corona virus global,
• The Fed lowering rates did not cause a rally, so what will? COVID-19 will continue to spread, with travel & crowd gatherings curtailed more; supply chains in trouble. Economies to be hurt for an extended time.
• Virus fear
• covid is out of control
• collapse in oil prices
• corona
• The news is bad

Question #4. What sort of hedging or portfolio protection strategies do you implement in your trading?

• Great question! Something i must work on.
• puts
• buying put spreads
• selling premium
• stops
• I only do speculative trading, however just buying gold or implementing covered calls should be enough.
• We will sometime place a collar on a long term position. I will also trade an underlying that is non-correlated to my open positions and finally we do use inverse TFs from time to time.
• 0
• Buying puts.
• puts
• puts
• gold
• 0
• Sell cash covered puts with low delta rather than buy stock
• emini’s bought and sold.
• I use Collar as a hedging strategy.
• go to cash
• option
• SPX puts
• Try to do a few points and sell after a 2% loss.
• None


Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?

• Italy has a mortality rate of 26% of those severely infected. Since Italy is an 1st world country, how can China’s numbers be correct, given the fact it hit there 1st and China living conditions are inadequate compared to Italy? This is far worse than shown! Withn two months i believe they’ll be growing issues on every continent.
• Nobody I mean nobody can predict the stock market….only the cheaters.

NOTE: The following open-ended answers are solely the opinions of the anonymous respondents to this survey. Responses are mostly unedited, but some have been reformatted slightly for to make them easier to read. Some irrelevant responses (e.g. “none”), or anything obviously fake, or copy and pasted responses have been omitted. All-caps responses have been changed to all lowercase. All responses for each week, unedited, are available in the raw data spreadsheets at TimingResearch.com/data.

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.

“Higher” Respondent Answers:

• Bounce after record falls, maybe supported by the Fed.
• I think it correct higher from the positive close on friday.
• Friday reversal of oversold market
• History
• The decline was to fast and bearish sentiment increased
• Bounce off last week
• Too much fear last week. Fed will step in when needed.
• Bounce back time
• I think spy going to307.53
• Just a rebound after a huge, almost panic drop.
• The market is over sold and due to a rebound.

“Lower” Respondent Answers:

• Viruses
• More Corona Virus worries
• The recent down move has had a lot of momentum, suggesting to me that there’s more downside left. Most market analysts are expecting a bounce; so the bounce could be of short duration, then sold into. The virus effects should significantly slow growth in China, with this growth effect likely spreading elsewhere.
• this did a lot of damage this week so yes we can bounce for 2-4 days and then come down again.
• High volatility at this level until a lower strong support will be formed. Virus’ news and fed interference will give the tempo. It’s interesting to see whether a V respond, like 2018, will be developed. I’m not so optimistic on that.
• coronavirus
• I believe the virus accelerated the great recession that will occur in less than 12 months due to the extraction of consumer wealth to the rich much like it did with Robber Barons of the 1920’s resulting in the depression of 1929. Next could be a pull back in the market decline. Therefore, I have only 55% chance the market will be up next week.
• Coronavirus
• CoronaVirus
• Mainly the China flue and some reporting on future effects thereof. One magnifier, the media! The last 2 months seems to be reporting of pullback, etc.. I noticed this intensified 2 weeks ago.. However, the flue is a issue for sure..
• People are starting to freak out about the Coronavirus and it’s growing numbers and fist death here in the US. Slowdown will hopefully be brief. Hoping for an early spring because it’s harder for viruses to continue.

Question #4. What trading-related questions or topics would you like the experts to discuss on future episodes of the weekly Crowd Forecast News show and/or which experts would you like to see on the show who haven’t been guests yet? (The show is off this coming week for the next Synergy Traders event, but back on March 9th.)

• Actions to take under unusual conditions such as the Crono virus problem.
• How to trade futures.
• The way the billionaire’s hold the consumer wealth causing a slow in business activity.
• recession proof portfolio
• Will the Fed rescue the market?
• don’t know
• what & how to trade bear markets
• Favorite indicators and how you use them
• Day trading Futures.
• market internals
• Provide real working systems


Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?

• spy not finish going down look to 283.75
• So here we are today, if we are not closing the North American boarders for a month of so, then we must prepare. This I suggest the most effected will be the larger metro areas where people seem to be living on the streets. Large numbers such as 5,000 plus.. If we remember the New Orleans floods, there was 1 weeks notice and as we know the response and support critically failed in many ways, in the aftermath the state did the best it could and we all now this! Yes we know you did…. RE: This China flue, USA, Canada and other countries “NOW have time to prepare” the larger areas where the street masses are. If this fails, the hospitals will be over-run, and all will be taxed to beyond the fullest extent…. It is time for the provinces, states, city’s to prepare to help those who will be in need. Those who are wealthy, please step up and take the lead, you already know what to do, show yourself what you are :)
• what about TESLA, APPLE & FAANG-Stocks? All crashing down? How far??
