S&P 500 Bullish Percent - 74% - Generally over 70% is considered over bought or hold long signal - Below 50% is a sell signal - Watch for divergences here.

VIX is still a bit too high for a ST top; maybe there is more hedging that we think

Also, OPEX is here....could be a far more active OPEX early in the week than the nornal OPEX snoozefest

 

  1. VIX Daily - On a Sell signal - Great for stocks - Short and you will be burned is the mantra below the 10 EMA.

I was told in another forum that my SPX 3300 seems to be a popular target, LOL

From Lance:

 

S&P 3300 – The Bull Vs. Bear Case 07-13-19

Written by Lance Roberts | Jul, 13, 2019 

 

  • Last week, we suggested the current setup, “suggests a bit more rally could occur next week.”
  • That remains the case this week.
  • We may be at the limits of that rally for now, but given that last week was an extremely light trading week due to the holiday, we will hold until Monday to see what happens next.
  • The market is back to very overbought short-term so a bit of a correction is needed to add to our position.
  • Short-Term Positioning: Bullish
  • Stop-loss adjusted to $275

Monday and Tuesday were indeed a bit sloppy, as shown below, but “fireworks” started on Wednesday as Jerome Powell said everything possible to ensure Wall Street a “rate cut” in July without actually saying so.

David seems to be bearishly inclined, very slightly so:

 

  1. OE Week - Generally Bullish - The Wednesday of the preceding week is what’s known as ‘Weird Wollie Wednesday’, named after Dan Wolanchuk, who noticed a particular phenomenon. This day usually sees the market close in the opposite direction of expiration day. That would be down.

    SPY - Daily look - breakout volume decreasing the last 3 days - RSI negative divergence at the highs, but long signal, MACD Buy, QQQ:SPX ratio showing a negative divergence, SCTR Extreme Bullishness. Price is showing resistance at the trend line. OE and Earning coming up -

    S&P 500 - one tweet away from Nirvana - or a Top??? RSI Divergences aren't what you want to see at the highs. Monthly Chart, so all we need is more buying at the all time highs.

Market is now in the irrational exuberance stage but it can remain so for another few days or weeks. 
I am looking for a pullback but then what....depends on earnings and if FED does 50 instead of 25 bps cut

FED has setup the market for a rate cut so they must deliver or else there will be a rebellion in Wall St and Wh

 

So, expect a 25 bps cut that is already priced into the market, then markets plunge

 

a 50 bps will create a rally for 2 to 3% and then markets plunge

 

However good Q2 earnings will send SPX above 3100

 

No one seems to care about Trade war at this time, at least for the next few weeks. 

 

Wimbledon on a Sunday morning....too good

I am down on the meager QQQ Put position -- QQQ was somewhat lagging the rest of the market for most of the day then rose in the afternoon. I preferred to let it ride over the weekend and then try to buy a few puts on Monday and rest of next week. 
 
Small VXX position is down and TLT is surprisingly profitable, not much but a pleasant surprise.  NQ was the star of the week for me, one of the best NQ week for 2019.

Keep scaling in Dtrader. The next 1-2 TD marks a cycle turn, me thinks a HIGH.
