Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX is currently testing its -1 sigma level at 12.34 (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 shock wave is over. Crude Oil Vol spiked this week.
5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts
Both NYSE & NASDAQ 5-day TRINs are in NEUTRAL zones.
Components of SPX above their respective 200day MA Chart
This scoring indicator continued to rally and crossed 70%. Again, every night this past week, my XO, @Capt_Tiko, checked this indicator after his evening meal (#TunaPower). He now has his eyes set for 75% to 80% for the peak of current rally.
SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) Chart
Last week SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) first sank to its -1 sigma level and then rose to close at 126 this week, which is almost its zero sigma level (normal = 120-125, range 100-150).
All is quiet on the Eastern Front (WASH-BOS Elite Corridor).
3-month VIX Futures Spread(VX) Chart
Our 3-month VIX Futures Spread (LONG DEC16 & SHORT MAR17) closed at -3.51 on Friday. This spread showed moderate pullback, as indices continued the grind higher.
HA_SP2 Chart
HA_SP2 = 87.1 (Buy signal <= 25, Sell Signal >= 75)
This indicator is signalling extreme overbought reading now. Even @Capt_Tiko is getting somewhat apprehensive.
SPX 2000 Analog for SPX 2016
This Analog Chart is beyond its shelf life. RIP.
US Treasury T-Notes & T-Bonds Yields Chart
This weekend we added ATH for last 7 years to each chart. It will give us a better prespective as YTMs rally here as DJT starts to put into action his econ plan (he had a plan? asks Tiko LOL).
The YTMs on Treasury Complex shot up again on both ends and the middle of the yield curve.
