DJ Transportation Index (proxy for economic conditions 6 to 9 months hence) has been retesting its 200 bar MA. Its early sell off into its 50day and then its 200day MA turned out to be a big tell (while SPX went up to new ATHs).
Russell 2000 Small Caps Index (proxy for Risk ON/OFF) had its worst week since Don Grumpino became the new Don (Nov 16). is RISK still ON? Don't ask and we won't tell.....lol

Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX currently stands at 15.51, or just at its +3 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).
In the last three trading sessions, VIX hits is +4 sigma, this normally says this shockwave is over....at least for now.... we would love to see a retest.

NYSE 5-day TRIN is NEUTRAL while its NASDAQ brethren is in SELL zone.

Is all quiet on the Eastern & Mid-Western Fronts? Smart Money thinks YES.
3-month VIX Futures Spread(VX) Chart
