Last week the Russell 2000 bounced at the 20 week moving average it's first test in a while as expected almost to the penny 🤔


While higher index prices are telling us one thing high yield markets are telling us caution is warranted.High-yield bonds became overbought at the end of February. Each time this has happened since just after the bull market started in 2009 the S&P has topped within 18 trading days, and corrected between 5-10% over the next 8 weeks. Bulls might argue it's different this time💀

Will be stalking swing trade short this week😧

Interesting.  What high yield market are you looking at?  How many times has this indicator led to a 5-10% correction since 2009?  Would be nice if you could show a chart that illustrates this relationship.



People think the Holy Grail is something looked for but never found. In fact, it is something often found but rarely recognized.

Six signals since 2007

Drawdowns 10%,13%,25% in 2007-2008

Three signals since 2009

Drawdowns 2% ,7 % and 7 %

This is seventh signal, as you can see returns are even better in a bear market

Trump bump still holding as the high for all but NAZ, which exceeded it just slightly last week...

 

Watching action on NQ very closely here today....tested the key 5400 level overnight, and if it holds back kiss of 5 min 900 this AM around 5413, and then proceeds to break 5400 on crappy breadth, we may finally have a real good swing top in place...4 hour chart started looking very tired with that last bar on Friday....

New High Nasdaq - driven by new highs in SOXX

 

Friday's high came on 3.1B shares on Nasdaq...

 

Consistent with retest.

 

Tested on lighter volume this morning.

NQ 4 hour chart trying to put in long tailed spike, with breadth less than stellar....

 

Shorted NQ at 5420...will cover if it gets taken out again, or if it does not break back below 5413 soon...

 

Once this this thing finally gives up, could see a swift move down for a few days...

Yep, good luck, I can't do Nasdaq related here with the SOXX raging...

 

This could run right into 1050 here

 

Gonna sit out that portion of the market.
