DJ Transports (proxy for economic conditions 6 to 9 months hence) once SPX drop subsided, stayed in a very tight range in the last three trading days.
Russell 2000 Small Caps (proxy for RISK ON/OFF) had a very tumultuous week!

HA_SP1_Momo Chart
WEEKLY Timing Model = on a BUY Signal since Friday 4/15/16 CLOSE at 2081
DAILY Timing Model = on a BUY Signal since Monday 9/12/16 CLOSE at 2159
Max SPX 52wk-highs reading last week = 11 (over 120-140, the local maxima is in)
Max SPX 52wk-Lows reading last week = 4 (over 40-60, the local minima is in)
HA_SP1 = just above its -2.5 sigma channels
HA_Momo = -3.9(reversals most likely occur above +10 or below -10)
Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX = 15.4 is almost at its +0.5 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).
This shockwave is dampening fast.
5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts
NYSE 5-day TRIN is very near a BUY Signal........
Components of SPX above their respective 200day MA Chart
This scoring indicator basically remained flat this past week.

SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) moved around ~127 and then settled on 125 which is about its -2 sigma (normal = 120-125, range 100-150)
All is NOT Quiet on the Mid-Western Front. Smart Money was correct in discounting near term trouble ahead (contested US General Election?)
3-month VIX Futures Spread(VX) Chart
Our 3-month VIX Futures Spread (LONG OCT16 & SHORT JAN17) closed at -2.3 on Friday. This is somewhat of a neutral reading.
HA_SP2 Chart
HA_SP2 = 42 (Buy signal <= 25, Sell Signal >= 75)
This indicator is way neutral here.
SPX 2000 Analog for SPX 2016
Here is another question from our beloved Capt_Tiko: When will the other shoe drop?
US Treasury T-Notes & T-Bonds Yields Chart
The drop in 91-day discount rate was massive, rest of the yield curve was very docile.
