SEASONALITY: THE LAST TRADING WEEK OF RECENT MONTH WAS GENERALLY BEARISH

See 07/23 Market Recap for more details.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: KEY WEEK THIS WEEK

Key week this week, as multiple pivot dates are due until 08/03. The market may turn down on any of those pivot dates to at least test the 07/01 low. However if the market simply keeps rising during this time window, then most likely the same March 2010 mad cow is back. See 07/23 Market Recap for more details.

SHORT-TERM: A LITTLE BIT BEARISH BIASED

I see more bearish signals than bullish signals but none of them are decisive, so all I can say now are: I’m bearish biased, especially if you look at the chart 1.0.0 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 60 min), could be a breakdown then kiss channel goodbye so the market may resume the pullback tomorrow.

SPY60min

So far SPY had 2 bearish reversal days (open high then higher high but eventually close in red) within 3 days. Short at today’s close, cover 3 days later since year 2000 (plus 2 additional conditions: RSI(2) 3 days ago  > 75 and MA(20) up meaning the reversal days happened on an uptrend) , looks like bears have some edges.

2ReversalDaysIn3Days 

If you take a look at the SPY daily for what happened after all the dates listed in the chart above, you also could see those dates at least were very close to a short-term top. The chart below shows the most recent 5 cases (highlighted in red).

This is just to follow up the top signal I mentioned yesterday: 0.0.2 Combined Intermediate-term Trading Signals, looks like the trend line breakout was confirmed today.
