SHORT-TERM: COULD SEE MORE REBOUND STARTING AS EARLY AS TOMORROW
We could see more rebound starting from as early as tomorrow, the reason is the VIX black bar looks toppy, so VIX could pullback, which means more rebound on the stock market. If the rebound could close above or the high decisively high above SPX 10/25 high then bears still have no hope, otherwise, if the rebound failed in the middle, especially breakdown below today’s low then bears may finally see some lights on the other side of the tunnel. So, let’s see how the market rebound first.
Overall, still think the market won’t go much on the upside. There’re lots of reasons mentioned in the intermediate-term session below, and today we have yet another bad sign – ISEE Indices & ETFs Only Index <= 30, see chart below, looks toppy whenever this happened.
I showed the chart below yesterday, however ISE adjusted the ISEE Indices & ETFs Only Index reading from 24 to 40 today, so the bad sign mentioned yesterday is no longer valid. However, today’s ISEE Indices & ETFs Only Index is very low, so the ISEE Equities Only Index to ISEE Indices & ETFs Only Index ratio spikes again, see highlighted in red, still looks toppy. The chart below is basically the same thing as the chart above about ISEE Indices & ETFs Only Index <= 30. The reason I mention it here is to follow up what I said yesterday.
NTERMEDIATE-TERM: BEARISH BIASED, PIVOT DATE EITHER AROUND 10/22 OR 10/26 OR 11/04
Maintain the intermediate-term bearish view, the pivot date could be either around 10/22 or 10/26 or 11/04, see 10/15 Market Recap for more details. Below are summaries of all the arguments supporting my intermediate-term bearish view:
- As mentioned in 10/15 Market Recap, commercial (smart money) holds record high short positions against Nasdaq 100.
- As mentioned in 10/15 Market Recap, AAII bull ratio (4-week average) is way too bullish.
- As mentioned in 10/22 Market Recap, institution selling keeps increasing.
- As mentioned in 10/08 Market Recap, statistically, a strong off-season could mean a weaker earning season.
- As mentioned in 10/11 Market Recap, statistically VIX at 1 month low going into October was not a good sign.
- As mentioned in 10/15 Market Recap, US$ may rebound which is not good for the broad market.
- As mentioned in 10/19 Market Recap, AAPL MACD is now too stretched which could mean a top for QQQQ.
- As mentioned in 10/22 Market Recap, NYSI Weekly STO(5,3,3) sell signal means choppy ahead.
SEASONALITY: LAST TRADING WEEK AND LAST 2 TRADING DAYS OF EACH MONTH SINCE AUG 2009 WERE BEARISH
