The market is there now SPX 2790/2810, a rally that has lost some momentum, in the strong resistance zone, pricing in Good News, and ready to zoom ahead again or drop.  I think it will Drop and Finish lower at the end of the week.

This is interesting. It's been 104 trading days since $SPX peaked and we're almost exactly as far below the all time high as two other major peaks were after 104 days (Jul '07 and May '15). Both ended up dropping quite a bit again; one into a bear market, the other bounced.

YES, the bears are almost non-existent, the bulls are rampaging, VIX traded with a 13 handle, money is flowing in .... getting to that extreme sentiment level, but still not there:

The smart money just keeps right on buying. In early February, their net position in index futures was on par with market lows in 2011 and 2015-16. This is extremely unusual, since they usually sell into rising markets.

Replying to @sentimentrader

Yup there will be no one left to buy and just sellers. This is actually really bearish

Another wonderful data point to add to the following... Short interest at the lowest level since 2012 and prior to that, "2007". CTAs fully loaded on the long side. Negatively divergent higher close today from an RSI, MACD, and DSI perspective. Dump imminent?

Although #ES_F has just a bit more distance to cover, $SPY has achieved the 2-month high we have been anticipating off of the December lows. We wrote about the significance in our January 2019 edition of The Cartography Corner, linked below. https://globaltechanalysis.tonidoid.com/urll1krwb

The most ridiculous chart: #China Yuan rallies in tandem w/ Shanghai Comp (on trade optimism) despite massive growth slowdown.

Extreme Greed

Safe Haven Demand
Extreme Greed

Stocks have outperformed bonds by 4.58 percentage points during the last 20 trading days. This is close to the strongest performance for stocks relative to bonds in the past two years and indicates investors are rotating into stocks from the relative safety of bonds.

Yes, a rather bold move would be to purchase some index puts on the opentuis AM, which is my plan if we open at or near 2808 (basis the cash $spx)

Watching as the move up continues......  Will the VIX hit 12ish this week or is it about to start moving up?  We shall see......

 

Good Trading!

 

The Air Is Getting Thin

The stock market’s winning streak continues.

We’re eight weeks into 2019, and we’ve seen eight straight weeks of higher stock prices. The S&P 500 is up almost 12% in less than two months. The momentum is strong. The price action is undeniably bullish. And it feels like stock prices will just keep pressing higher, forever. But, the air is getting really thin up here. Take a look at this updated chart of the S&P 500…

I may consider that but want to wait for early spike up and then see how it goes....
