Traders added a net $34MM in new SH positions yesterday.

 

That's not trivial, but it's not particularly important, either. Frankly, I view shifts between $10MM and $35MM as possibly smart money--SHORT TERM.

 

So, while conceptually, shorting into strength is normally Bullish in other contexts, in this context I'd say it's reasonably likely that we'll get at least a modest reaction from whatever high we make this morning.

 

I don't think I'll be trading for it, but there you have it.

$34M is a drop in the bucket if you are the Swiss National Bank and hold $63 Billion in equities...

I think that the SH is a retail or small money product. But those asset flows do seem to have some predictive value.

 

This one is just an interesting artifact today.

I am looking for one more ST covering rally that will take us to 2425 spx from there I think the big swoon is coming.  A move over 2405 es will start this process. I am not in until that happens 2406 print on the hourly. But I am in as I have posted the BAC calls from 22.50 (Heavy) looking for 25.50- 26.00 because of the X Div 5-31

 

Stops in and at a 500% profit from entry as I type

 

Best

my best guess is that we won't trade higher than 2400 on a closing basis until next week, after memorial day. Early June has a top around 6/7 ~ 6/9 at 2430, then the down time comes.

OFF TOPIC - This site is SLOW TO LOAD PAGES, Herky Jerky... there's a bug somewhere in it.

 

I am having ZERO issues with other web pages...

 

This has been like this all day, making it very hard to use.

 

Anyone else having issues?

Is that not a H&S top on the daily BAC ?

They are doing server upgrades, pretending that we won't notice.

I'm noticing. :(

Sorry but not a very reliable pattern an fails more likely than not.  Back testing this morning looking for a strong reversal up later (IF) spx holds up.  As I said we will test 2304 on es that will be the tell IMHO
