This week the S&P 500 Index (INDEXSP:.INX) and the Dow Jones industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) both went up and tested a confluence of strong yearly resistance pivots.
Is the stock market topping? Â Are investors in for another correction?
Well, it’s probably a good idea to be cautious here. Â This week marks a Bradley model long term trend change date (see chart below). I wrote about this last June. This may be the start of a big stock market pullback! Â I’m thinking 10%-20%.
August, September, and October tend to be a volatile time of year for the financial markets. I have been recommending to my subscribers at PivotalPivots to reduce or hedge risk coming into the yearly resistance pivots (see Dow Industrials and S&P 500 charts further below).

Dow Jones Industrial Average – Pivot Resistance!
S&P 500 Pivot Resistance!
It has been 2 years since the last deep correction. Is the next one right around the corner? I feel this is a good time to take some long-term profits off the table or hedge!
Thanks for reading and trade safe!
