First, let's state the obvious: MARKETS were actually UP today.

 

Did not feel so after the SPX bolted above SPX 2800 several time but then fell back and retreated at the close to SPX 2796.

 

Technically, the trends ST/IT/LT are still UP.

 

I finally got my HOURLY VIX so I expect at least a few hours of SPX decline but I would not be surprised that "good news" 

sends SPX above 2810 and even higher.

Today, $VIX closed up at least +1.00 pt on a day where $SPX was positive. If we limit events to times when VIX was under 15.00, this is only the 7th time this has ever happened (since VIX data began in 1990). Here are the $SPX forward returns after the other 6.

For everyone that thought the most recent retail sales print was a fluke, January and Feb credit card data still off a cliff. $SPX

S&P Futures dropped a bit as I posted above....

 

Not extreme stink, but bad breath....

    I think so too. But more so for breadth fans, it is the first day breadth was weak while indexes were green

    Biggest change in the market today is breadth. And it started right after the open

The Citi Global Economic Surprise index, at -21.6, is nearly the same as it was at the Dec 24th market low. It's now 227 days below zero -- only exceeded by the Great Recession of 2008-09. Markets totally devoid of economic realities.

Question: What sort of bull market is this when the Dow Utilities are challenging the peaks, and yet the Transports are still 8.5% below their highs? It’s a fair question. Beneath the veneer, maybe the equity market isn’t pricing in any sort of growth rebound.

11:44 AM - 25 Feb 2019

The nominal ISM, manufacturing + nonmanufacturing, has fallen for 3 months in a row and is 13% lower now than it was when the last recession started; 19% lower than it was the month before the recession in Mar. 2000. Peel things back, look under the hood…and you may see “it”!

All good points Brother. Now we wait for the market to care about them. The trend remains up.......  Waiting to see a move below the 9 EMA and maybe the 20 DMA as we move into the next DCL....  LOL.... Lots of gaps to fill....  We shall see how it plays out!  Maybe the BOTS ( buy programs) will save the day again.....

 

Good trading!
