Summary:
CPCE argues for an intermediate-term top again. Need follow-through tomorrow though.
SPX Swing Trade Model II Sell signal.
QQQQ black bar may mean a short-term top is very close.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: SELL SIGNAL TRIGGERED
0.0.3 SPX Intermediate-term Trading Signals, because both MACD and NYSI are on the short side, so I downgraded the intermediate-term to down from up。
2.8.0 SPX:CPCE, trend line broken, so this guy yells for a top again, needs hold the trend line at least tomorrow though.
My SPX Swing Trade Model II issued a sell short signal today. Below is the back test summary since 2002. Well, it’s only a mechanical signal, back test worked good doesn’t guarantee it works in the future.
SHORT-TERM: COULD BE NOT FAR FROM A TOP
1.1.3 QQQQ Short-term Trading Signals, black bar means:
1. Gap down open tomorrow. No guarantee a red close though.
2. Not far from a short-term top. I see people are talking about a Symmetrical Triangle formed on 1.0.3 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 30 min). From the Elliott Wave point of view, this usually means a Wave 4, therefore there could be a Wave 5 to do the final push up. This doesn’t conflict with what the QQQQ black bar says, as it only says “close” to a top. From the QQQQ chart below, we can see that indeed there’re some cases that after a black bar, QQQQ made a new high before pulling back.
INTERESTING CHARTS:
1.2.0 INDU Leads Market, INDU lower low before SPX may mean SPX will break below the Sep 25 low soon.
Today’s Russell 3000 Dominant Price-Volume Relationship is 1525 stocks price down volume up (I think Don Worden reported it wrong in his report today), this is a bearish reading. In the chart below I’ve marked all the recent cases that had similar “1500 stocks price down volume up” relationships.
