SHORT-TERM: NYSE TOTAL VOLUME IS WAY TOO LOW, NOT A GOOD SIGN
Not much too say today, all eyes are on whether the Fed will announce the Quantitative Easing II tomorrow. Personally, I don’t think the Fed will announce the Quantitative Easing II, but how the market reacts to this no announcement stuff is hard to predict. From the chart below we can see, generally the Fed day was bullish.
I’d like to show you 2 charts today, both are bear friendly. I still think a top of some kind should be very close. But I’m not sure the pullback if indeed is short-term or intermediate-term.
0.2.5 NYSE Total Volume, way too low. This is an very important top sign.
1.0.0 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 60 min), negative divergence too much too large, looks very bearish to me.
