Very clean Inverse H&S. Notice the bunching of the days for the turn.

12,26,9 is a somewhat lagging setting for a daily, I prefer 5,44,5.

All of the momentum indicators usually lag, you usually look for divergences only and the divergences always need to be confirmed by the price --because the momentum lags...

Here both the MACD and CCI are diverging for a turn, in other words the momentum of the downside breath is already slowing down, it doesn't mean the prices can not decline further, but it is close to a price low unless it accelerates and the setup with the divergences disappears. The breath leads, so if the price declines, the damage should be limited with this kind of setup, again unless it accelerates rapidly, but this particular setup does not suggest so...

I favor a last (yet another one) and spectacular blow off from here, however I do not expect the breath to turn significantly. You have the same kind of deterioration in the cummulative new highs vs new lows momentum. Here's a recent leading chart about the liquidity in the months ahead and it doesn't suggest much of a strength...

TICK has bottomed per macd without a price drop.
This should mute any downside that develops and uptrend should
remain for another month or more. We can get a big drop
to be over quick as in Feb. but I think that is a ways away.

Put/Call does concern me, but will wait to see.

Index P/C - 3.85. :sweatingbullets: a little bit. Got to keep making higher highs over the next several days for the signal to be false.
