SHORT-TERM: SOME NOT SO GOOD SIGNS FOR BULLS
0.0.3 SPX Intermediate-term Trading Signals, see green cycles, no, the past bottom pattern – straight up for several days, doesn’t apply. So still there’s no evidences saying that the market was bottomed.
Also if you paid attention to the chart 0.0.3 SPX Intermediate-term Trading Signals above, you’d see that SPX is stalled under the purple moving averages. The chart below should be enough to tell you how important this purple moving averages is. Hope in the following days the fighting on the control of this line will give us some clues on whether the market is bottomed or not.
Although the “Bearish Thursday” was mentioned in today’s After Bell Quick Summary, but frankly, I’m not sure, after all， it’s not as consistent as the “Bullish Monday”. I do have a few not so bull friendly signs though:
QQQQ rose in AH because of CSCO ER, however, be careful of a possible gap fade tomorrow, because the cumulative TICK is way too high. Although the extremely high cumulative TICK readings couldn’t pin exactly the top but it usually was very close. Besides, I don’t think the chances are high for the 2 consecutive extremely high cumulative TICK readings to go wrong at the same time.
2.0.0 Volatility Index (Daily), looks like a Bull Flag, plus the black bar formed today has very good chances to lead a reversal, so VIX could rise which is not good for the stock market.
3.4.0 United States Oil Fund, LP (USO Daily), black bar too, so oil could retreat, which too is not good for the stock market.
STOCK SCREENER: For fun only, I may not actually trade the screeners. Since SPY ST Model is in SELL mode, only SHORT candidates are listed. For back test details as well as how to confirm the entry and set stop loss please read HERE. Please make sure you understand the basic risk management HERE.
Today’s screener has 2 ETFs. They both have 2x Bearish Fund – FXP and SCO to long instead of shorting directly.
According to the entry rule, the only stock found yesterday was not confirmed.
