Companion Chart for Market Bias Review, Issue #156

Monday, August 29, 2016, 0815ET
Market Bias, Issue #156

Our current Market Bias with Timer Digest is SHORT SPX as of Monday August 1 Close 2170.84
Our previous Market Bias was FLAT SPX as of Friday July 22 Close 2175.03



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

SPX First Profit Target = 2150
SPX Second Profit Target = 2140
SPX Money Management Stop = 2180

BOTTOM LINE: Most big players are still at the Hamptons hanging out with HRC....so our targets this week are on the tighter side. Next week we shall expand them a tad more.


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.

Vol of the Vols Chart

VIX = 14.1 is at its +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).

VIX finally moved up. This shockwave is still in progress.
