SPY bullish call by Michael Tyler

SPYBullunverifiable

“When we get the conclusion of the Iran war when the straight of moose opens, in other words, yes, the bull market is on. Face ripper rally confirmed.”

Thesis at the time

Mixed

The host argues the market's direction hinges almost entirely on whether the Iran conflict de-escalates during the UN General Assembly week; a resolution would confirm the 'face ripper rally,' while continued conflict and rising oil/yields would trigger a meaningful selloff. He notes deteriorating breadth (stocks above 50-day and 200-day moving averages falling back to April-crash levels) and extreme fear readings as reasons for caution heading into the historically volatile pre-midterm period.

Key arguments

Percent of stocks above 50-day MA fell from 32.5% to 29%, back near April correction lows
CNN Fear & Greed Index at 36 (fear), with stock price strength/breadth in extreme fear
S&P broke above its downtrending resistance line in yesterday's rally
Historically the market tends to bottom around September 30th before a pre-midterm rally
Oil and 10-year yields reversing higher intraday signals fading optimism on Iran

Counter-arguments acknowledged

VIX is falling despite the intraday reversal in oil and yields, which the host finds surprising
Saudi Arabia restarting its east-west oil pipeline is a mildly bullish offsetting factor
