Small SPY & QQQ CALL pisitiond
Large HSI & CHINA A50 position

I expect a rally that should fizzle out after 2 to 3%, could test recent highs, and that wiil gift you the SHORT OF 2023, so far.

Still down there at -227
Could rally to near zero then reverse hard down to below -250

If I'm being totally objective, again ignoring the short-term volatility and emotional toll, mid-July's story was one of caution and suggested minimizing risk. The current environment, however, is the mostly opposite of what we saw one month ago. This is the time to hold your nose and buy.

Just my opinion.

A significant downward shift in the Risk On/Off Indicator
Key points:

The SentimenTrader Risk On/Off Indicator declined by 25% over three trading sessions
Similar shifts in the composite led to weak returns for the S&P 500 over the next three weeks
Defensive sectors tend to outperform other groups under similar conditions
Sharp and sudden shifts in indicators provide useful insights

Stocks continue to drift lower in an orderly manner after a solid start to the year. As I discussed in a note a few weeks ago, the breakout in rates suggested stocks could consolidate/correct. That was especially the case during FOMC tightening cycles.

With stocks retreating, the SentimenTrader Risk On/Off Indicator contracted meaningfully over the last three trading sessions.

The model, a composite that measures the percentage of indicators considered to be risk-on, declined by more than 25%.
