Time for markets to correct?
Fun fact: The last time the S&P 500 futures gapped up > 0.5% and traded to a multi-year high before reversing to close negative on the day was January 3, 2000.

Not long. Not short. But IMO, top is not in. 1st chance forward is this Friday, December 8th. Then we shall see. All in the spirit of what TT is all about!
In edit, all references unless otherwise noted refer to the SPX. Are the odds high that Friday will be it? No. Can it be? Yes. One step at a time.

I am 100% cash. But then, I do not futures/option trade like most on this forum. My trading is typically weeks. I will change position quickly if my setup deems it. Currently my take is we are very late in the market cycle. For me, it's very risky with all the bubbles worldwide. When the market finally turns, there will be tears.

Oh don't think for one minute that I disagree with that at all. We are on the last train to stupidville. No, I take that back. The train is already there. But, the prices are real and arguing with them doesn't make money. My guess is that there are a lot of funds out there who NEED these prices to hold up through the end of the year......kinda like the end of 2015. So I would guess that there will be a lot of "dead body traders"......as in......this market is going down "over my dead body".

After the expected bounce off zero area, NAZ summation now looking VERY tired...
Sold into the "sell the news" event yesterday, and now looking for summation to plow through zero, and possible violent shakeout dead ahead.
Still think we don't get a real intermediate term top until next spring though.
VIX long plays could start to work over next few weeks though...
