HA_SP1 at just above its +2.5 sigma channels

Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX is currently at its -1 sigma level at 10.85 (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 VOL Complex again moved LOWER this past week.
5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts
Both NYSE & NASDAQ 5-day TRINs are again NEUTRAL for now. No Signal here.
Components of SPX above their respective 200day MA Chart
This discussed here last week, this scoring indicator rose to ~76% (our target posted in last issue wsa "Target: 75%-77%"). Targeting info is courtesy of HRH @Capt_Tiko, KBE. Bravo Tiko.
SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) Chart
Last week SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) moved lower and ended just above its -1 sigma at 130. (normal = 120-125, range 100-150).
All is [relatively] quiet again on the Eastern & Mid-Western Fronts....
3-month VIX Futures Spread(VX) Chart
Next Wednesday is FEB VIX expiration so, per our standard protocol for this indicator, on Friday, we rolled forward our VX Spread. Our new 3-month VIX Futures Spread (LONG MAR & SHORT JUN) dropped further and closed at -3.37 near its -3 sigma on Friday. We are nearing OVERBOUGHT HERE.
HA_SP2 Chart
HA_SP2 = 84.4 (Buy signal <= 25, Sell Signal >= 75)
SP2 is now in OVERBOUGHT zone, thanks to Grumpie LLC. That's part of the reason we went flat before the Close on Friday.
US Treasury T-Notes & T-Bonds Yields Chart
The front-end EBY rose above its monthly pivot while longer-dated paper YTMs sank somewhat and settled near their respective monthly pivots.
HRH @Capt_Tiko had NE at neg 3. He won big time, thanks to Tom Brady and he's been happy as a clam ever since. Only in AMERICA.
