SHORT-TERM: HIGHER HIGH NEEDED TO CONFIRM 1-2-3 TREND CHANGE FROM DOWN TO UP

Last Friday and today, bears tried twice but couldn't push down the market, a general pattern in this case, the market will try the opposite, which in another word means the the low could already be in. But bulls need a higher high tomorrow to confirm the 1-2-3 trend change from down to up.

SPY60min 

Whether we’ll see a higher high tomorrow is hard to say. Although it FEELs very bullish but evidences remain bear friendly, not solid though. Anyway, let’s see tomorrow, I think bulls need a little luck:

  1. Huge gap down open, then better not to expect the market to rebound huge like what happened in the past 2 days because the 3rd time is the charm.
  2. Huge gap up open, then it’ll be the SPY’s 22nd unfilled gaps (see 1.0.6 SPY Unfilled Gaps). How long can this gap last is hard to say.
  3. As mentioned in today’s After Bell Quick Summary, CPC <= 0.80, 81% chances a red day tomorrow.
  4. Interestingly, the next day after a very 1st VIX black bar (the 2nd black bar immediately after the 1st black was actually bullish) was not very pleasant recently.

Another thing worth blah blah today is the OEX Put Call ratio surged to an extremely high level. Chart below highlighted in red, are all cases from all the history I have when OEX Put Call Ratio > 2.8. Among them, 5 out of 6 cases were not far away from an intermediate-term top. Well, the cases are too few, so for info only, let’s wait and see.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: THE FIRST 2.5%+ PULLBACK AFTER A 40+ STRAIGHT UP TRADING DAYS WAS USUALLY A BUY

  2. Position reported in short-term session of the table above is for short-term model only, I may or may not hold other positions which will not be disclosed.
