Yesterday, we highlighted the 2019 Tactical Playbook, that includes a Reflex rally, then retest of the 12/2018 low, followed by new highs. The equity market decline since the September peak Still looks like policy-driven market event rather than a credit driven economic crisis. Indeed, the data suggests the 20% drop from peak represents the 4th non-recession crash since 1950.
- The other 3 occurrences (1987, 1998, 2011) had very consistent post-crash behavior. Once the market has saw a climactic low, there was a sharp reflex rally followed by a retest of the low within 4-5 weeks, then new highs. Currently, the SPX is up 8.1% from the intraday low on 12/26, suggesting the reflex rally has largely run its course, and that a retest of the low should take place toward the end of the month.
