SHORT-TERM: COULD SEE REBOUND AFTER A LOWER LOW

Three conclusions:

  1. I expect 2 leg down at least.
  2. The 1st down leg is near end, we could see a rebound as early as tomorrow.
  3. Chances are good that before the rebound we may see a lower low first.

Why “expect 2 leg down”? Because the drop today was a little big, since we’re still on earth (will POMO make us no longer on earth?) so the law of inertia should apply – a forward accelerating car cannot be reserved before it slows down, see chart below, more likely we’ll repeat the past pattern for having 2 leg down at least.

2LegDown 

Why “the 1st down leg is near end”? Because the market is oversold or very close to oversold. I’ve mentioned several times that the overbought/oversold signals I watch are no ordinary signals, so whenever I say oversold (or overbought), it can be trusted. See table above or 0.0.0 Signal Watch and Daily Highlights, 4 out of  6 no ordinary overbought/oversold signals are now oversold. Especially T2122, the NYSE 4 week New High/Low Ratio, which is my ultimate weapon for watching overbought/oversold. Although it’s not officially oversold yet but according to the most recent history readings, it should be oversold enough now.

T2122 

Why “before the rebound we may see lower low first”? The same law of inertia, do you ever see a Major Distribution Day (NYSE Down Volume : NYSE Up Volume >= 9) marks exactly the bottom? The reason I mention this is to say that bears need not worry, there’re still chances to escape. Even the only one case in the chart below does happen again, the market open high goes high never turns back, don’t forget according to 1.0.6 SPY Unfilled Gaps, that’d be SPY’s 21st unfilled gap which is very likely to be filled before SPY goes very far.

ImmediateLowerLowGuaranteed 

Besides, chart 6.4.2c Extreme TICK Readings Watch also guarantees (well, almost) an immediate lower low ahead. A reader once commented that because the chart shows extremely low TICK in downtrend so of course a lower low is guaranteed, I should use an uptrend chart as an example. That’s partly true, the problem is, in an uptrend, seldom seldom an extremely low TICK reading happens, in another word, whenever an extremely low TICK reading is recorded, chances are the market is already in a downtrend.

TICKWatch 

6.2.2b VIX Trading Signal (BB), VIX closed out of BB top so it’s a potential buy setup (not confirmed yet of course). The reason I mention this chart is to remind you if SPY drops again tomorrow then the SPY ST Model could switch to sell mode from the current buy mode thus the VIX BB buy setup would become invalid.

VIXBBSetupWatch 

Also if interested, take a look at the big annotation box in chart 0.1.0 SPY Short-term Trading Signals, as according to TradingMarkets, at least 5 buy setups were triggered, all had very high winning rate (above 80%).

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