 I hold similar opinions:

"Long-term breadth, as measured by the McClellan Summation Index, the most important indicator of mass market psychology, turned bearish four days ago after several warnings from the declining highs on the McClellan Oscillator itself. My nifty-50 stock list has failed to get overbought since the rally’s kick-off’s first few days. While the indexes have worked higher, the stocks have rotated and paused and in some cases fallen under the surface (take a look at the rollover in the banking sector)."

Flat/down then up. There are two big turns/pivots in mid-May and July. It’s a guessing game this far out from then. I’m betting the market’s rally has run out of steam temporarily and we are pausing, never significantly breaking support. This pause will be followed by a rally to new all time highs >3000 into the Summer. Again, it’s a guess. I’m mostly in cash but hold8ng abshort call credit spread on the $SPX that will narrow as time erodes it, which is the goal.

SPX 2760/65 nearest STRONG support

 

break that and it could hit a 2600 handle in a day or two; hold that and SPX challenges the recent daily swing high in a day or two.

  1. The canary in the coal mine in the ADP data was the 8k decline in employment at small companies. This was the largest job-shedding since December 2013 and remember -- the drop in the last cycle led the recession by six months!

    Tell me, are the cheerleaders who follow me on Twitter going to voice their criticism to the Bank of Canada as well? The BoC just stated "recent data suggest that the slowdown in the global economy has been more pronounced and widespread". I suppose Poloz is as clued out as I am.

    According to my calculus, the market's downside risk dwarfs upside reward. And the warning signs of trouble ahead are expanding.
