SHORT-TERM: EXPECT A PULLBACK AS EARLY AS TOMORROW

The market is not as strong as it feels because although multiple indices hit new high today but the NYSE Intraday Cumulative Tick showed great sell pressure which is very rare. Considering all the bearish extremes I’ve been blah blah recently, I think it’s time to be careful now.

IntradayCumTICK

Whether we’ll see a short-term pullback which lasts for a few days, we’d know as early as tomorrow because tomorrow is FOMC which is generally bullish but if it closes in red, then it’d be a bad sign.

FOMCWatch

For others, I bet you’ve already known – yes, more bearish extremes. As mentioned in the weekend report, all those bearish extremes would work eventually, the result would be a pullback similar to that of November or even April. The problem is it’s very difficult to timing so I’ll just keep piling up those bearish extremes in the table above.

0.2.2 Extreme Put Call Ratio Watch, when both CPC and CPCE are extremely low, a top could be very close.

ExtremePutCallRatioWatch

8.1.4 Normalized CPC, it’s just MACD(10,200,1) on CPC so as to eliminate different bases during different period. The chart is arguing for a top now.

NormalizedCPC

8.2.7b Record High ISEE Equities Only Index Readings 2010, ISEE Equities Only Index closed large than 260 again. Retailers are simply way too bullish.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: COULD BE WAVE 5 UP TO SPX 1300+, THERE’S MORE BULLISH COUNT, BUT I DON’T BELIEVE THAT FOR NOW

SEASONALITY: BULLISH MONDAY, FRIRDAY AND THE WHOLE TRIPLE WITCHING WEEK

  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.
