Market Bias for Issue #162

Our current Market Bias with Timer Digest is SHORT SPX as of Thursday September 29 Close 2151.13
Our previous Market Bias was LONG SPX as of Wednesday September 28 Close 2171.37


This is our Trade for this week = LONG SPX or SPY Put Spreads

SPX Money Management Stop = 2170
SPX Primary Profit Target = 2120
SPX Secondary Profit Target = 2110

BOTTOM LINE: We shall remain SHORT SPX/SPY for next 48 to 72 hours. Keep your bet size in check and stay tuned for an alert from us for rapid reversal to a LONG position.

Note: Once the Primary Profit Target has been reached, traders should close 50% to 75% of your position in order to lock profits. The remaining balance can be carried over with the BreakEven STOP in order to make the trade a zero risk trade with the final position running to reach the Secondary Profit Target. Once either Secondary Profit or Money Management Target is hit, our Option/ETF trade for that week is over. Go to Cash and wait for the next PMT Issue.

Most recent S&P-500 Cash Index (SPX): 2153.74 down -14.53 (down -0.67% ) for the week ending on Friday, October 7th, 2016, which closed at is zero sigma.

SPX ALL TIME INTRADAY HIGH = 2193.81 (reached on Monday, August 15, 2016)
SPX ALL TIME CLOSING HIGH = 2190.15 (reached on Monday, August 15, 2016)

Current DAILY -2 Sigma SPX = 2126 with WEEKLY -2 Sigma = 2057

NYSE McClellan Oscillator = -119 (-150 is start of the O/S area; around -275 to -300 area or lower, we go into the “launch-pad” mode, over +150, we are in O/B area)
NYSE Breadth Thrust = 44.5(40 is considered as oversold and 65 as overbought)

Trading this past week was again quite hectic as evidenced by charts and data included hereinafter. And SPX & NDX each put in two outside bars this past week. US Presidential Election is almost here and both camps are fighting it in the gutter. In addition, SEPT NFP came in rather soft for the second month in the row.

REMINDER: “Sell on Rosh Hashanah and Buy on Yom Kippur,” a favorite of Art Cashin, Director of NYSE Floor Operations for UBS.

DJ Transports (proxy for economic conditions 6 to 9 months hence) had a huge drop on Friday, about 0.9% (also BLS reported that trucking employment has contracted y/y for the last 4 months).

Russell 2000 Small Caps (proxy for RISK ON/OFF) continued to sell off in drip drip mode..... RISK continues to be CONFUSED here.

HA_SP1_Momo Chart

WEEKLY Timing Model = on a BUY Signal since Friday 4/15/16 CLOSE at 2081
DAILY Timing Model = on a SELL Signal since Friday 10/07/16 CLOSE at 2153
Max SPX 52wk-highs reading last week = 24 (over 120-140, the local maxima is in)
Max SPX 52wk-Lows reading last week = 6 (over 40-60, the local minima is in)

Vol of the Vols Chart

VIX = 13.5 is again 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).

The current shockwave is over for now.


5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts

NYSE & NASDAQ 5-day TRINs have pulled up a tad after each gave a SELL signal.


Components of SPX above their respective 200day MA Chart

This scoring indicator sank to 68% on Friday. @Capt_Tiko is next looking for 55% to 60% for this indicator.


SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) Chart

SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) settled at 120 which is about its -1 sigma (normal = 120-125, range 100-150)

All is getting Quieter on the Mid-Western Front. Has Smart Money already left for Palm Beach? Stay tuned......


3-month VIX Futures Spread(VX) Chart

Our 3-month VIX Futures Spread (LONG OCT16 & SHORT JAN17) dropped to -3.07 resulting again in no clear signal here. Our beloved @Capt_Tiko is still recommending more iced tea for all sailors.


HA_SP2 Chart

HA_SP2 = 45 (Buy signal <= 25, Sell Signal >= 75)

This indicator is in neutral territory again.


SPX 2000 Analog for SPX 2016

When will the other shoe drop, my XO, @Capt_Tiko keeps asking? Or, shall we assume that the General Election results are clear by now?
