SHORT-TERM: EXTREMELY HIGH CPCI READINGS COULD MEAN SOME WEAKNESS AHEAD
Still the new high today isn’t decisive enough, so bears still have hopes, especially according to 6.5.2b Month Day Seasonality Watch, the last 2 trading days of each month since August 2009 were bearish, so let’s give bears a few more days. By the way, I’ve removed some bearish signs in the table above, except some apparently failed signals, some on the 2nd thought, are too vague to judge in the future if indeed they worked, so I decide to clean them too. Well, you can consider this as my way of capitulation (on bearish view), LOL.
Two things I’d like your attention for today:
- 0.2.2 Extreme Put Call Ratio Watch, CPCI too high could mean at least a short-term top. Like almost all the other signals, it didn’t work well recently but after all it still worked, so let’s see.
- AMZN dropped sharply after ER in AH, which actually is a good news for bulls, assuming AMZN indeed red tomorrow. Remember what I mentioned in 01/18 Market Recap? Where I said the IBM one day return on earnings predicts the SPX over the next 5 weeks 80%+ of the time. Well, AMZN is the opposite, which means AMZN red on ER most likely means SPX green over the next 5 weeks. So let’s give it a little attention tomorrow on how AMZN closes. The statistics below are from Bespoke (up to July 2010).
INTERMEDIATE-TERM: IN WAIT AND SEE MODE, WHETHER THE 01/18 HIGHS IS THE WAVE 5 HIGH REMAINS TO BE SEEN
Since even the short-term I have no answer for whether the pullback is over, so whether the intermediate-term was topped, we’ll have to wait and see.
SEASONALITY: THE LAST 2 TRADING DAYS OF EACH MONTH SINCE AUGUST 2009 WERE BEARISH

- Conclusions can be confirmed endlessly, but trading wise, you have to take actions at certain risk level as soon as you feel the confirmation is enough. There’s no way for me to adapt to different risk levels therefore no trading signals will be given in this report except the mechanical signals such as SPY ST Model.
