NYSE McClellan Oscillator = +9.4 (-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 = 53.8 (40 is considered as oversold and 65 as overbought)
What a week it was with China, FOMC and Saudi Oil Fields Attack, not to mention our biggest vol generator: Grumpino's haphazard and lawless actions. This week we have UN Gen Assembly and the start of Jewish High Holidays (SELL Rosh Hashanah & BUY Yom Kippur).

Vol of the Vols Chart
Spot VIX stood at 15.3 on Tuesday night, a tad below its -0.5 sigma (remember it's the VIX volatility pattern aka "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).
VIX up ticked a bit but nothing to write home about.
5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts
NYSE 5-day TRIN is in clearly a BUY signal here while NASDAQ 5-day TRINQ is still in the NEUTRAL zone.
Components of SPX above their respective 200-day MA Chart
This scoring indicator could not get over 77%, and by Friday dropped to 72% continuing to build a triple-top (or as some prefer to call it a head-and-shoulder pattern) that we talked abut last week.
SPX SKEW (Downside Tail Risk) Chart
On Friday, SPX SKEW (Downside Tail Risk) rose pretty sharply to 117.5, now just a tad above its zero sigma (normal = 115, range 100-150).
All quiet on the Eastern & Mid-Western Fronts? our beloved HRH Capt. Tiko, KCPE, says YES (for now)...
How to interpret the value of SPX SKEW? (from CBOE white paper on SKEW)
3-month VIX Futures Spread(VX) Chart
This popular timing indicator for identifying tradable bottoms, (now long SEP19, & short DEEZ19 VIX Futures) hit -1.6 on Friday Close. That is a NEUTRAL signal. But remember, with continued Grumpino's erratic behavior, you never know.
HA_SP2 Chart
HA_SP2 = 48 (Buy signal <= 25, Sell Signal >= 75)
That as a huge drop in SP2 on Friday -- Thank you Grumpino !!! you are best that ever happened to day traders.
US Treasury T-Notes & T-Bonds Yields Chart
The Yield Curve (both front and back end) eased off last week. We hear Maury is not happy any more. He may have to change his analyst LOL.
