In a recent discussion with a fundamental-biased market-participant, the question was asked “At what price level would you initiate or add-to short-positions in E-Mini S&P 500 Index Futures?”
Without referencing any of our technical analysis, our answer was to sell the next two-month high.
The following charts are monthly time-periods across five significant bear markets beginning in 1968.
In each, you can see that if you followed this simple strategy, your short-sales were never significantly challenged. In fact, these two-month highs occurred right before significant price-moves down in each respective bear.
In May, a two-month high for E-Mini S&P 500 Index Futures would be realized above 2807.25.
Patience, awareness, and discipline are required.
