You got to give it to the bulls: they have come back from numerous bear raids during the past week and still hold the edge. 

 

But, it has been choppy, nervy, and indecisive as both bears & bulls maneuver for the decisive move in their direction. 

 

Bears have to go for it now or else the bulls can move this very quickly above SPX 2800.

 

Long weekend ahead, I will be leaving quite early tomorrow, going SHORT into the weekend. 

 

Doji City At The 200-day

Total indecision in the S&P 500 price action at the 200-day moving average.

Very similar to past short-term peaks but if it were that easy,  we’d all be eating caviar on our yachts.

Impressive that market doesn’t break.  No sellers.

Nevertheless, better seller before everyone else starts selling.

OPEX week --- going nowhere real fast! We want to render as many calls & puts as possible worthless!

 

They will never catch me again after my early few years of naivety!

 

 

  1. Put/Call ratio for VIX yesterday was 90% (lotta puts relative to calls) Today: 20%. So which is it? you think VIX going down or up?

There come a time when it is a return to a GENUINE BULL market rather than a bear market bounce... that time is near unless the bears can take it down

 

  1. During 2011 correction, S&P bounced 20%, then declined 10% on 2nd leg down (no lower low). During 2015-16 correction, S&P bounced 13%, then declined 14% on 2nd leg down (lower low). From Dec 2018 low, S&P has bounced 17%...

    S&P 500: 58% of stocks in the index are now above their 200-day moving avg, most since Oct 9. Oversold bounces during the 2011 & 2015-16 corrections stalled @ 54/56% w/ another leg down b/f subsequent rally to new highs. $SPX

It's pretty simple

 

China deal = New Highs

 

No China Deal = New Lows

 

Until then the markets have not priced the deal, so in the meantime, with the optimism thats reigns supreme, the price will go up at least to 2810/2820 of the S&P

 

This market is impossible to short for now
