The weekly S&P 500 cycle has been accurate in all five buy signals and in four of five sell signals over the last year. The cycle gives a sell signal in mid-month. We are currently in the weaker seasonal ‘sell-in-May period’, and the other longer-term cycles have peaked. Investors are advised to take this sell signal seriously.
