Weekend Analysis by Amateur-Investor.Net

(12/3/16)

Typically December is the best performing month for the market as the S&P has been positive 74% of the time since 1900.  Meanwhile it has been rare to see two December's in a row with a negative return which happened in 2014 and 2015.  Also notice there has never been a period of time in which the S&P has had "3" consecutive December's with a negative return.  Thus it's highly unlikely the market will have a negative return this month based on past history.  

Meanwhile the S&P 500 has encountered resistance at the top of its upper Bollinger Band.  The last time it reached its upper Bollinger Band the S&P 500 lingered around it for roughly 5 weeks before going through a correction (points A to B).  Thus it's certainly possible the S&P 500 may linger near the upper Bollinger Band through the month of December and make a slightly higher high.   

Finally as I have mentioned before if we are seeing a 5 Wave move from the February low the S&P 500 shouldn't rise above the 2243 level.
