Weekly Stock Market Forecast

This week we have a stock market forecast for the week of 12/5/21 from our friend Bo Yoder of the Market Forecasting Academy. Be sure to leave a comment and let us know what you think!

The S&P 500 (SPY)

All the waiting and watching has paid off nicely as the S&P has topped and started to trend lower in earnest. This "break" will freak some folks out, but I still believe my forecast will prove true that this selling will catch a bid and reverse the market for a short period of time. Once that momentum burns off, a lower high will form, completing a "head and shoulders" pattern, and THEN WE CRASH.

I just don't see the Fed being able to pump us to new highs again. So I may eat my hat, but I'm going to be a seller of this market as I believe the QE/MMT world will come apart at the seams, and it's a generational move that I don't want to miss out on.

SPDR Gold Shares (GLD)

Gold whipsawed down into the top of the red zone for a second chance to all those who missed the initial call. After that, the bulls turned the market back to the bullish side and closed it out with a "Doji" reversal candlestick on the weekly chart.

If the stocks drop next week, it could produce a nice "flight to quality" for the precious metals markets.

Goldman Sachs (GS)

GS sold off slowly and steadily this week and is still creeping down to challenge the recent lows near $370, and if that swing structure can be violated, we will see a sharp acceleration as the last excuse for the bulls has been taken away.

I'm a gleeful doomer on this stock, and if I'm right, this entry will be one to print out and put on the trophy wall somewhere.

Ulta Beauty, Inc. (ULTA)

ULTA is a stock that has been in a long and steady uptrend for a long time. However, it's showing signs of reversal and the end of the trend, perhaps because their big retail channel is in chaos with all the looting and shoplifting in the retail sector recently.

Whatever the reason, this stock is undergoing a shift in supply/demand that should offer some nice profits to the short side. Any price within the red zone is considered attractive, with stops set above the red zone high.

As the market chooses the direction and we are forced to acknowledge a lot of the baloney that's going on, there are some themes that I am looking at and will hopefully find elegant entries soon. The 4th turning is never a safe or happy time, and in this cycle, humans seem to be hell-bent on escorting as many off this planet as possible, so life insurance would be a terrible business to be in, and funeral homes a booming one.

There are a lot of terrible truths that will be coming out, which will be hard for folks to deal with, so that means booze, cigarettes, and marijuana will be on fire (1930's roadmap replaying much?)

And then, there is the lack of workers and "automation" (robots), which will be a big part of the economy in the next 5-10 years. Lots of change, lots of money being forced to move from one place to another...
