SHORT-TERM: NOT BOTTOMED BUT MAY SEE REBOUND FIRST

The drop today has fulfilled the forecast given by 6.4.1 Extreme NYADV Readings Watch about SPX will have a lower close ahead. So the last “bear insurance” is gone. Now the question becomes more important: Has the market bottomed?

Personally, I think not.

1.1.1 NYSE Composite Index Breadth Watch, NYADV:NYDEC MA(10) had a new low today, see green dashed vertical lines, either we’ll see a short-term rebound immediately starting from tomorrow then one more leg down to form a positive divergence before the market could actually be bottomed, or see green solid vertical lines, the market simply keeps dropping for a few days until broke the green dashed horizontal line below before bottoming.

NYADVvsNYDEC 

I’ve mentioned the chart below in 05/21 Market Recap, arguing market was not bottomed. I believe it’s very convincing and has proved right so far. Now take a look again, asking yourself, comparing with the past positive divergence, is the current 1 day only positive divergence enough for a bottom? At least visually, chances are not very good, right? Also according to a basic TA theory, a divergence need to maintain for certain period of time (the longer the better) to be considered reliable.

NYMO 

OK, I guess the 2 charts above should be enough to talk you into believing that the market is not bottomed. Now, back to the question raised by 1.1.1 NYSE Composite Index Breadth Watch. Which one would be? Keep dropping or rebound first then drop?

My guess is that “keep dropping” may have a little bit better chances. Three reasons:

6.5.2b Month Day Seasonality Watch, the month’s last 2 trading days were generally bearish.

MonthDaySeasonality 

Intraday Cumulative TICK from sentimentrader, big WOW again. Although I don’t believe a very high Cumulative TICK means people are way too bullish anymore (instead it should simply mean a change in trading characters), but so far the previous 6 WOWs were all deadly correct (see 05/18 Market Recap, 05/12 Market Recap, 05/03 Market Recap, 04/29 Market Recap, 04/20 Market Recap and 04/14 Market Recap), so at least I cannot deny that there’s a chance that this signal may work again this time.

IntradayCumTick 

0.2.0 Volatility Index (Daily), lots of indices and sectors daily chart are ugly today – open high close in red which is kind of a bearish reversal day. Among them, VIX daily chart is especially not friendly to bulls, looks very similar to the Hammer formed on 05/13. So be careful!
