ST Model *Long if up day tomorrow, the stop loss will be 1.9*ATR(10).
NYMO Sell 11/12 S 2*ATR(10) Reference only, not meant to be followed.

SHORT-TERM: COULD SEE LOWER SPX CLOSE AHEAD BUT THE SPX 11/05 HIGH MIGHT BE TESTED AS WELL

Two conclusions:

  1. Reiterate "77% chances the SPX 11/05 high will be revisited” mentioned in 11/12 Market Recap.
  2. Very likely SPX will have a lower close ahead (either after the retest of the SPX 11/05 high or continue down from here).

For reasons, see the chart below: According to the most recent patterns, whenever SPX was down 3 days in a row, a lower close ahead was almost guaranteed. And because SPX wasn’t down lot in its 3 consecutive down days, plus the statistics mentioned in11/12 Market Recap, so chances are very good that the SPX 11/05 high could be retested (either higher high or a little bit lower high).

For others, I don’t have much to say as the current chart pattern looks bilateral to me, so need see tomorrow. Gap up huge tomorrow morning then probably the bottom was in today, while red day again tomorrow, buy at tomorrow close and sell at the very first green day close since 1991, you have 79% winning rate.

0.2.1 10Y T-Bill Yield, just to explain here since someone asked: ROC(30) >= 9 used to mean a market top, as you can see from 8.2.1a Market top/bottom by ROC30 of 10Y T-Bill Yield 2001-2004 and 8.2.1b Market top/bottom by ROC30 of 10Y T-Bill Yield 2005-2008, the signals were very reliable. The problem now is because of large scale Quantitative Easing, I’m not sure if this signal ever works anymore (for why, if you still are interested, take a look at 8.1.7 Gold vs Oil, basically it relates to whether we’re in an inflation environment). Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

  1. Please make sure you understand how to use the table above. The purpose of this report is to provide info so contradictory signals are always presented.
  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.
  3. 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.

  5. Trading signals in OTHER ETFs table are mechanical signals. See HERE for back test results. 08/31 L, for example, means Long on 08/31.
  6. UP = Intermediate-term uptrend. Set when I see at least one higher high and higher low on weekly chart.
  7. DOWN = Intermediate-term downtrend. Set when I see at least one lower high and lower low on weekly chart.
