200-Day MA RUT = 1213 or 12.6% below RUT (max observed in last 5 yrs = 21.3%, min = -22.6%)
DJ Transports (proxy for economic conditions 6 to 9 months hence) ran a very special sausage ops algo, that tells us ROMANs are getting into the Transport Biz. LOL
Russell 2000 small caps (proxy for Risk ON/OFF) was very confused as evidenced by the Railroad Tracks. RISK is still ON, ioho.

Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX is currently at its -1 sigma level at 11.3 (remember it’s the VIX’s vol pattern (its sigma channels) that matters, and not the level of VIX itself (this is per Dr. Robert Whaley, a great mentor and the inventor of original VIX, now called VXO). VIX usually peaks around a test of its +4 sigma).
VIX Complex dropped modestly this past week.
5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts
Both NYSE & NASDAQ 5-day TRINs are again NEUTRAL for now with a possible SELL signal coming up for NASDAQ.
Components of SPX above their respective 200day MA Chart
This scoring indicator retreated to 70% - no signal here as we see no divergence, as of now.
SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) Chart
Last week SPX SKEW (Tail Risk) rose & dropped gradually last week and finally ended up just about its zero sigma at 123. (normal = 120-125, range 100-150).
All remain quiet on the Eastern & Mid-Western Fronts as SKEW sigma channels are very tightly spaced.

Our 3-month VIX Futures Spread (LONG JAN17 & SHORT APR17) dropped gradually each day till it closed at -4.13 on Friday.
HA_SP2 Chart
