The market rebounded and went to new highs after suffering its worst week of 2017. Our beloved SWG is the new Teflon Don.

HA_SP1 at just above its +2 sigma channels
HA_Momo = +4.7 (reversals most likely occur above +10 or below -10)
Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX currently stands at 9.8, or just above its -1 sigma ( remember it's the VIX volatility pattern ( its sigma channels) that matters, and not the level of VIX itself ( this is per Dr. Robert Whaley, a great mentor and inventor of original VIX, now called VXO ). VIX usually peaks around a test of its +4 sigma).
This week, both VIX and VNX (vol for NASDAQ) sold off from their +3 sigmas -- this shockwave is over too, IMHO.
5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts
NYSE 5-day TRIN is in NEUTRAL zone while the NASDAQ 5-day TRINQ remains in the SELL Zone area.
Components of SPX above their respective 200day MA Chart
This scoring indicator while did not test 50% zone, is in an strong divergence with SPX. This is a must watch indicator going forward.
SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) Chart
Last week SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) traded down to 125 closing near its -1 sigma (normal = 120-125, range 100-150).
Are all quiet on the Eastern & Mid-Western Fronts? For now, large market participants think NOT. We shall see soon.
3-month VIX Futures Spread(VX) Chart
Our VX Spread traded near -3 for most of last week. BORING? ubetcha.
HA_SP2 Chart
HA_SP2 = 74.2 (Buy signal <= 25, Sell Signal >= 75)
We are almost in OVERBOUGHT zone now. Will the markets sell off here? not without a strong negative catalyst is the correct answer, ioho.
US Treasury T-Notes & T-Bonds Yields Chart
Last week was another boring week in the Debt Markets. More Iced Tea is what our beloved @Capt_Tiko suggests.
