I looked a few times just to confirm what was my original assessment: SPX & DOW charts are very bullish, thus one has to be bullish, especially of SPX 2760 is taken out and SPX 2860 support holds next week. 

 

However, my VIX/VXX buy (SPX sell) was triggered last week and is still in effect. 

 

In addition, the weekend geopolitical events have so far proven to be bearish (G7 or G6 plus 1 or...) , and the stealth factor that could derail everything is the rapidly escalating emerging market crisis.

And, this one, anyone has more info on "SELLING ON STRENGTH" ? data last week?  Inn-ner-esting (Bourdain's pronunciation) chart below 

"Stocks closed at a new daily cycle high on Friday. However the over 2.7 billion Selling on Strength over the past 6 trading days warrants caution.

 

While stocks closed at a new daily cycle high on FridayThursday remains as the daily cycle peak. Unless stocks break higher, day 24 would remain as the daily cycle peak. Therefore a break below 2760.16 would form a daily swing high to signal daily cycle decline. A break below the daily cycle trend line would then confirm the daily cycle decline. Stocks continue to close above the upper daily cycle band indicating a daily uptrend. Stocks will remain in their daily uptrend unless they close below the lower daily cycle band."

Most of the indicators/data  I use is warning me to stay nimble this late in the cycle, and not hold long positions. I still think we move under the 9 dma  this week, and that's my trade for now.  

 

Good trading.

 

I mainly use VXF when charting and position trade with it ( mainly swing trading this year) . I use VXF  because I mainly trade small caps. The VXF trades are also free at Vanguard. Trading TNA/TZA - TQQQ/SQQQ - JNUG/GDXJ when I like the set-ups on other accounts.

 

Some things below beside the buy backs that will cause some moves this week. You pointed out some news events. This has been the best short-term trading I have seen in years. LOL... I'm waiting on the next market moving tweet to trade.
