Oversold Markets Look to Rebound

 

Although global stock markets had a volatile week, our Broad Market Instability Index actually turned much lower below the panic threshold, which is a bullish divergence for stocks. Stock markets may rebound off oversold levels for a bear market rally. It becomes attractive that crude oil is building up a bullish bias on an 1-year falling wedge chart pattern. The broad stock market is projected to be in a short-term bullish time-window until 9/25/2015.
