AMZN 2450 looks pretty important....

 

It it gives way, AMZN will join  AMGN as leaders flashing red flags...

NYSE breadth is really positive today with SPX nad NDX down, but it can be seen in the RUT advance.  That does not have to be a positive outcome looking one day forward.  Prior to the crash there were a lot of continuation days down and consecutive in some cases.  Note, Feb 20th this year had positive NY breadth and IWM up with SPX down.  Now, after the crash every time we have had a positive breadth day and negative SPX we were up big, really big the next day or few days.  Today is day 6 in this up cycle, and 6 is about all you get without a 100+ pt ES rinse.  We are about to find out.

And here is the raw long side little guy data as of last Friday...likely even higher after last 2 days...
 
And again, could go even higher first...
 
Actually pretty amazing that the huge selloff did not even take the call purchases back into the old range.

Is that a sign of confidence, or is it a sign of fear?

If small traders get it usually wrong, then it is a sign of fear of loosing out, if they generally get it right, then it is a sign of confidence.

What I'm getting at, is you may not be looking at the same little guys... i.e. this crew may be afraid of buying the underlying, outright, but they're willing to risk a bit on calls. Maybe.

Possible but not really probable imho, gis

Feb. and May are the flattest months of the year, no hope for a breakout of the range until June.

RUJ dog value rut 2000 leading the pack ....

 

run spx 500 to the 200 and get everyone bulled up

 

tank it just a little to make it look like a failure - burn the weak long hands 

 

get everyone beared up for the "short of a lifetime"

 

burn the bears in the after hours and drive it over the 200 

 

resume trend 

You got it!!.  Nice bear trap into close and early after hours.  Onward and upwards.  DIX over 49% today.
