Anatomy of Russell 2000 Index Bear Markets

Anatomy of Russell 2000 Index Bear Markets

ps: if some one can educate me the difference between the Russell 2000 data from finance.yahoo.com and to that of Russell 2000® Price Index (RU2000PR) from Fred , would be grateful

As FRED Russell data provides a a bit longer term dating back to 1978 , while yahoo data only goes back to 1987, this $STUDY is done on RU2000PR data from FRED

the average and or median values are just an indication , and to gauge how far the current bear market can do based on previous 10 bear markets since 1980 till date , and not a PREDICTION.

if the median value is used as an approximation , we are looking at RUT price to go down to 2950 ( or the RUT value from yahoo finance to about 1180 , from the current levels of 1380) and the bear market to last till Jul 2019 or there about’s

this is just again an indication based on the past bear markets , guessing when the next all time high value will be recaptured , based on the worst bear market , it can take till May- 2023 ( roughly 4 years and 5 months from now on ), and optimistically if we use a median value , we are looking at Jun-2020

finally as John Bogle says “Stay The Course” , and don’t do silly things of timing the markets , like getting out now, and thinking will reenter at a lower value than the current RUT close , as no one except liars know when and where the exact bear market bottom is , remember the quote by Bernard Baruch

Don’t try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. It can’t be done except by liars.

$SPY gaps up but posts a red candle for 3 or more days in row in 4th quarter

Posted by admin on December 14, 2018 in SPY, trading strategies / 0 Comment

$SPY gaps up but posts a red candle for 3 or more days in row in 4th quarter

this $study is a tweak from the study posted by Rob of Quantifiable Edges

on twitter

“SPY gaps up and closes below the open 3 days in a row. Close < 200ma. (Results above the 200ma were less consistent, fyi.) Could happen today. Hat-tip @Watchhimtrade for the idea.”

below the trading strategy rules

$SPY gaps up ( that is current day’s open is above previous day’s close ) and posts a red candle ( that is current day’s close is below current day’s open) , for 3 or more days in row
current quarter is 4th quarter of the year
