Yes I see your point. i am suspecting an ST bottom, but the market may have peaked out. So i am still flat after closing yuesterday's short.Hello All- Since there is quite a bit of Bearish perspective about the market currently and it is definitely founded. I would like to throw out something bullish....
Technology has been improving.... Semiconductor Book-to-Bill is at 1.17 and is improving steadily every month.
AAII Sentiment is 55.5% Bears and only 22% Bulls. This low number bulls usually show up close to a bottom.
Rydex Ratio shows an increase in bearish positions that matches up with the last 4 short - medium term bottoms over the last 5 months. There has already been a lot of money pulled out of bullish positions with money now waiting on the sidelines.

Everything points to a ST bottom, even the tape. So i'll be out till I can add short positions.

Just stay short and take a sleeping pill that lasts for a few months... that will get you over the bumps. When you wake up, you'll be very happy.
Good advice.

I don't here.... I've tried it this way and lost .... I do have 9 trend indicators however, that if they all agree I will go short and ignore all other indicators... So for it is not a lock but has been close. Currently 8 of the 9 indicators ( All lagging indicators ) are bearish... Weekly MACD on SPX and NASDAQ is still bullish but barely.... We need a good rally today with participation to turn this around to be more bullish... However, currently with so many bearish trend charts I will sell and go short when we get at least a little overbought....
