On My Radar by Steve Blumenthal:

Do you want to get an immediate warning when the trend for the S&P 500 starts to go down? Do you want to know when to sell your S&P 500 index funds?

The long-term trend for the S&P 500 is pointing up since March 11, 2016. At that moment the S&P 500 stood at 2,022. Now, about a year later, the gains are over 22%.

How much higher will it go before the trend will turn? Nobody knows. History shows that it could easily take another 2 years and another 30% gain. It could also be this month.

Proven Trend Signal

2015 started with an eventful January. The continued decline of the Euro versus the US Dollar had a major impact on the stock markets around the world.

During January, the German DAX gained 9.1% and the S&P 500 lost 3.1%.
However, this is before taking into account the impact of currency price developments.

Measured in Euros, the German DAX gained 9.1% during January. However, measured in US Dollars the DAX only gained 1.7% during January.

Measured in US Dollars the S&P 500 lost 3.1% during the month. However, measured in Euros, the S&P 500 gained 3.9%.

Stock Market Profits in Dollars and Euros

European investors gained during January, regardless if they invested at home or in the US markets.
