Market Bias, Issue #150

Our current Market Bias with Timer Digest is SHORT SPX as of Tuesday July 12 Close 2152.14
Our previous Market Bias was FLAT SPX as of Friday July 8 Close 2129.90



This WEEK’s Trade = SHORT the Market using SPX or SPY Put Spreads

SPX First Profit Target = 2080
SPX Second Profit Target = 2050
SPX Money Management Stop = 2165-2170

BOTTOM LINE: We are very overbought here and we expect a pullback but we will only risk about 1% (STOP LOSS). Per @Capt_Tiko, "Keep your bet size in check...."


Note: Once one of our SPX targets is hit (Profit or Money Management), our Option/ETF trade for that week is over. Go to Cash and wait for the next PMT Issue.

Market Bias, Issue #150

Our current Market Bias with Timer Digest is FLAT SPX as of Friday July 8 Close 2129.90
Our previous Market Bias was SHORT SPX as of Tuesday July 5 Close 2088.55



This WEEK’s Trade = STAYING FLAT for NOW

SPX First Profit Target = N/A
SPX Second Profit Target = N/A
SPX Money Management Stop = N/A

BOTTOM LINE: If SPX holds its +1 sigma (~2108 on closing basis), most likely we will get long and then next big hurdle would be the retest of current ATH at 2131. Alternatively, if we get a close below 2105, we will get short again. But remember sigma levels are dynamic so the level will change slightly each day.


Note: Once one of our SPX targets is hit (Profit or Money Management), our Option/ETF trade for that week is over. Go to Cash and wait for the next PMT Issue.

Canaries [in the Coal Mine] Chart for DJ TRAN & RUT Indices

200-Day MA DJ TRAN = 7673 or 0.1% below DJ TRAN (max observed in last 5 yrs = 20.2%, min = -20.3%)
200-Day MA RUT = 1113 or 5.7% below RUT (max observed in last 5 yrs = 21.3%, min = -22.6%)

DJ Transports (proxy for economic conditions 6 to 9 months hence) chart pattern is looking a lot better since we discussed here last. It closed at its +1 sigma on Friday.
Russell 2000 Small Caps (proxy for RISK ON/OFF) rallied sharply in the last 2 weeks. RISK-ON is baaaaaaak.



DeTrenders Charts for SPX, NDX, TRAN & RUT Indices

50-Day MA SPX = 2077 or 2.5% below SPX (max observed in last 5 yrs = +8.6%, min = -9.3%)
200-Day MA SPX = 2025 or 5.1% below SPX (max observed in last 5 yrs = 15.2%, min = -14%)

HA_SP1_Momo Chart

WEEKLY Timing Model = on a BUY Signal since Friday 4/15/16 CLOSE
DAILY Timing Model = on a BUY Signal since Tuesday 7/5/16 CLOSE
Max SPX 52wk-highs reading last week = 65 (over 120-140, the local maxima is in)
Max SPX 52wk-Lows reading last week = 3 (over 40-60, the local minima is in)
HA_SP1 = at its +2 sigma channels
HA_Momo = +8.2 (reversals most likely occur above +10 or below -10)

Worth noting: our coveted HA_Momo is getting near its overbought territory.



Vol of the Vols Chart

VIX = 13.2 is now nearing -2 sigma (remember it’s the VIX’s vol pattern (its sigma channels) that matters, and not the level of VIX itself (this is per Dr. Robert Whaley, a great mentor and the inventor of original VIX, now called VXO). VIX usually peaks around a test of its +4 sigma).

As discussed here two weeks ago, VIX pulled back and it was much faster than most expected, including but not limited to, yours truly & @Capt_Tiko!!



5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts

SELL SIGNALs on BOTH charts here........



Components of SPX above their respective 200day MA Chart

SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) = rose to 153 (over its design limit of 150) and touched its +3 sigma on June 28th (normal = 120-125, range 100-150)

Last Friday, it closed at 127 after falling like lead in water to 123 in 5 sessions !!
All Quiet on the Mid-Western Front? Smart Money thinks so. This PDI thinks otherwise, but then again, what do we know!! In these cases, we shall yield to @Capt_Tiko and his great wisdom (He luvs #Rumi)

This indicator also says we are very near Overbought territory.

Notice of Change of Market Bias with Timer Digest


Dear Jim,

Since Friday’s SPX price action violated our 1% Loss Management Target (at ~2110) by a wide margin, and since our prop timing indicators are showing higher overbought readings, we are stepping aside for a day or two while we wait for another opportunity to short this market from higher prices.
