Current DAILY +2 Sigma SPX = 2826 with WEEKLY +2 Sigma = 3484
Current DAILY 0 Sigma SPX = 2527 with WEEKLY 0 Sigma = 3047
Current DAILY -2 Sigma SPX = 2227 with WEEKLY -2 Sigma = 2411
NYSE McClellan Oscillator = +101.8 (-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 = 57.14 (40 is considered as oversold and 65 as overbought)
This market continues to be totally news driven..... 18,000 (Nov 2016 lows) was almost taken out Sunday evening March 22 (Spring Equinox +1 trading day) and since then we have slowly pulled up. Late last week, we managed to put an island formation after we gapped up today, which is very bullish. Our next target is 2825 and then 2950.

DJ Transportation Index (proxy for economic conditions 6 to 9 months hence) has tried to stabilize during last two weeks.
Russell 2000 Small Caps Index (proxy for Risk ON/OFF) also behaved pretty much the same. RISK remains nonexistent for now.
NONE of our EIGHT DeTrenders are in the POSITIVE territory. The DeTrenders for DJ Tran & RUT will continue to be harbingers of future price behavior in broad indices.

SPX SKEW (Downside Tail Risk) Chart
1
This week SPX SKEW (Downside Tail Risk) eased off on Thursday (SKEW is NOT computed every day any more) and closed at 121, now about its negative 0.5 sigma (normal = 115, range 100-150).
All quiet on the Eastern & Mid-Western Fronts? our beloved & newly promoted HRH Admiral Tiko, KCPE, says NO, ALL IS NOT WELL..... (ADM Tiko notes that on Feb 20, SKEW was at 137+ or its +1 sigma)
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 APR20, & short JUL20 VIX Futures) hit +8.6 Friday at the Close. We continue to observe values for this spread that we have never seen before (note: we were NOT running this chart during 2008-2009 financial debacle).
HA_SP2 Chart
HA_SP2 = 64.4 (Buy signal <= 25, Sell Signal >= 75)
This indicator says we are slowly approaching overbought condition if we cross 75 and go higher.
