Market Bias for Issue #199

Our current Market Bias with Timer Digest is SHORT SPX as of Thurs Apr 13 at 2328.95
Our previous Market Bias was LONG SPX as of Tues Apr 4 at 2360.16


            Here are the trade parameters for this week:

SPX Money Management Stop for 100% of our position = 2455
SPX BreakEven Stop (Last Close) for last 20% of our position = 2438
SPX Primary Profit Target for first 80% of our postiion = 2415
SPX Secondary Profit Target for last 20% of our position = 2400


Action Asset Expiration Strike Option
BUY SPY Friday JUL 21 247 Puts
SELL SHORT SPY Friday JUL 21 237 Puts
You need to execute both legs and hold it as a PutSpread.

Note A: Once the Primary Profit Target has been reached, traders are advised to close 80% of their position in order to lock in profits. The remaining balance can be carried over with a BreakEven STOP, based on the SPX level at the time of entry, 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 (BreakEven STOP after the 80% peel-off) is hit, our Option/ETF trade for that week is over. Go to Cash and wait for the next PMT Issue.

Note B: When we change our Market Bias with Timer Digest, You need to go FLAT asap. With PMT Pro, that is before the Close that day and with the basic PMT, at the open of the next day.

Market Timing Charts, Analysis & Commentary for Issue #199


Timer Charts of S&P-500 Cash Index (SPX) + NASDAQ-100 Cash Index (NDX)

Most recent S&P-500 Cash Index (SPX): 2423.41 down -14.89 (down -0.6%) for the week ending Friday, June 30, 2017, which closed near its -2 sigma.

SPX ALL TIME INTRADAY HIGH = 2453.82 (reached on Monday, June 19, 2017)
SPX ALL TIME CLOSING HIGH = 2453.46 (reached on Monday, June 19, 2017)

Current DAILY +2 Sigma SPX = 2449 with WEEKLY +2 Sigma = 2453
Current DAILY 0 Sigma (20 day MA) SPX = 2434 with WEEKLY 0 Sigma = 2387
Current DAILY -2 Sigma SPX = 2419 with WEEKLY -2 Sigma = 2320

NYSE McClellan Oscillator = -1.9 (-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 = 51.6 (40 is considered as oversold and 65 as overbought)

The NDX chartpattern is ominous. We shall stay short here. Maybe, and just maybe, finally the markets are seeing what we have been expecting since mid-April.



Canaries [in the Coal Mine] Chart for DJ TRAN & RUT Indices

200-Day MA DJ TRAN = 8950 or 6.8% below DJ TRAN (max observed in last 5 yrs = 20.2%, min = -20.3%)
200-Day MA RUT = 1343 or 5.3% below RUT (max observed in last 5 yrs = 21.3%, min = -22.6%)

DJ Transportation Index (proxy for economic conditions 6 to 9 months hence) rallied last week and stopped just short of a new ATH. Russell 2000 Small Caps Index (proxy for Risk ON/OFF) was flat for the week. RISK is still ON.



DeTrenders Charts for SPX, NDX, TRAN & RUT Indices

50-Day MA SPX = 2410 or 0.5% below SPX close of Friday (max observed in last 5 yrs = +8.6%, min = -9.3%)
200-Day MA SPX = 2293 or 5.6% below SPX (max observed in last 5 yrs = 15.2%, min = -14%)

SEVEN of our EIGHT DeTrenders are POSITIVE now while the DeTrenders for DJ Tran & RUT will continue to be harbingers of future price behavior in broad indices, it is worth noting that NDX is leading lower here with a close below its 50-day MA.



HA_SP1_Momo Chart

WEEKLY Timing Model = on a BUY Signal since Friday 12/16/16 CLOSE at 2258
DAILY Timing Model = on a SELL Signal since Tuesday 6/27/17 CLOSE at 2419
Max SPX 52wk-highs reading last week = 29 (over 120-140, the local maxima is in)
Max SPX 52wk-Lows reading last week = 11 (over 40-60, the local minima is in)
HA_SP1 closed at just about its zero sigma channels
HA_Momo = -1.9 (reversals most likely occur above +10 or below -10)



Vol of the Vols Chart

VIX currently stands at 10.02, or just at 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).

Vol Indices again remained quiet this past week, except for Thursday. And by far, the biggest mover was OVX (vols for WTI Crude) as our beloved @Capt_Tiko took off for a badly needed R&R in Cote d'Azur. We love his style.



5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts

What a SELL Signal that was for NASDAQ last week via its 5-day TRINQ. Our options trades in QQQ & IBB were the main beneficiaries. Now NYSE 5-day TRIN is getting ready for another SELL signal. Fasten your harness (as we say in the NAVY).



Components of SPX above their respective 200day MA Chart

This scoring indicator still having divergences with SPX. Closed at 74% and we should look for test of 67% (or lower).



SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) Chart

Last week SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) dropped to 126 and then closed at 129.5 its zero sigma (normal = 120-125, range 100-150).

Is all quiet on the Eastern & Mid-Western Fronts? Of course NOT -- a few cared last week and we saw a pullback but again it was bought. This ain't over till the Fat Lady sings.



3-month VIX Futures Spread(VX) Chart

This indicator also went nowhere fast during the last week with exception of one quick spike on Thursday. No signal here, as of now.



HA_SP2 Chart

HA_SP2 = 42 (Buy signal <= 25, Sell Signal >= 75)

We are just below NEUTRAL zone.... a test of 25 would be great for this bloated market of ours.



US Treasury T-Notes & T-Bonds Yields Chart

The fast rise in the interest rates should be another alert to all here but the usual suspects (Comedy Central et al) will broom it under the carpet-- at least for now.
