Market Bias for Issue #348

Our current Market Bias with Timer Digest is SHORT SPX since MAY 18 at 4127
Our previous Market Bias was LONG SPX since MAR 26 at 3974


            Here are the trade parameters for this week:

SPX Money Management STOP for 100% of our position = 4350
SPX Current Price is = 4323
SPX Money Management STOP for last 20% of our position = 4270
SPX Primary Profit Target for first 80% of our position = 4210
SPX Secondary Profit Target for last 20% of our position = 4180


Action Asset Expiration Strike Option Last Mid-Point
BUY SPY Friday JUL 30 428 Puts 4.58 4.57
SELL SHORT SPY Friday JUL 30 418 Puts 2.69 2.66
You need to execute both legs and hold it as a Put-Spread.

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. The following trading day, we will issue new SPX targets and a new SPY options trade, as long as our new market bias with Timer Digest is NOT flat.

HA_SP1_Momo Chart

WEEKLY Timing Model = on a BUY Signal since Monday, June 19, 2020 CLOSE at 3098
DAILY Timing Model = on a BUY Signal since Friday, June 25, 2021 CLOSE at 4280
Max SPX 52wk-highs reading last week = 37 (over 120-140, the local maxima is in)
Max SPX 52wk-Lows reading last week = 1 (over 40-60, the local minima is in)
HA_SP1 again closed near its plus 0.5 sigma channels
HA_Momo = -1 (reversals most likely occur above +10 or below -10)



Vol of the Vols Chart

VIX currently stands at 16.2, just about its -1 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 attempted to spike down twice during last 5 trading days only to give up most of its down moves. We consider these Vols still too high with stock indices and FANGAM names at their respective ATHs.



Components of SPX above their respective 200-day MA Chart

This scoring indicator has dropped from 98-ish area down to 91.4% with a huge divergence with price. As you may recall, for most of the second half of the last decade, this is was a common occurrence and yet we still ended going up.



SPX SKEW (Downside Tail Risk) Chart

This week SPX SKEW (Downside Tail Risk), in the last 30 calendar days, has printed a few back-to-back ATHs culminating with highest reading ever, at 170 last Friday and closed today at ~164, now about its plus one sigma (normal = 115, range 100-150).

All quiet on the Eastern & Mid-Western Fronts? HRH Admiral Tiko, KCPE, says heck NO!!

3-month VIX Futures Spread(VX) Chart

This timing indicator for identifying tradable bottoms, (now long JUL21 and short OCT21 VIX Futures) hit -3.78 at the Close on Tuesday. Is there a Perfect Storm ahead of us?



HA_SP2 Chart

HA_SP2 = 75.2 (Buy Signal <= 30, Sell Signal >= 70)

This fantastic timing indicator says we are entering into an overbought condition again.



US Treasury T-Notes & T-Bonds Yields Chart

This past five trading days, the Notes & Bonds went nowhere fast but the front end is waking up. All eyes are on Fed Chair Powell now. End of July FOMC Meeting could be another momentous event.
