P.S. No After Bell Quick Summary today as I really don’t have much to say other than wait for tomorrow.

SHORT-TERM: REVERSAL OF REVERSAL IS COMMON ON A MARKET TOP, SO LET’S SEE TOMORROW

The rebound today may mean nothing because it’s common to see a reversal of the previous reversal of the previous reversal whenever the market is in a topping process. So whether we’ll see a reversal of reversal of reversal tomorrow, we’ll have to wait. At least in the SPY 60 min chart below I cannot exclude the possibility of a typical bearish Rising Wedge breakdown then kiss channel goodbye pattern. So again, let’s see tomorrow.

 SPY60min

Also the statistics about extreme low TICK reading almost guarantees an immediate lower low or lower close ahead still applies today. See chart below, relative to yesterday’s chart, I now keep only the 2nd day rebound cases, still there’re far more red dashed lines than green dashed lines. In another word, a huge rebound the next day after an extreme low TICK reading like today was normal.

The chart below is just to follow up the back to back unfilled gap I mentioned yesterday. The gap didn’t get filled completely today so if there’s a gap down open tomorrow, bears better not hope that gap could hold. Well, I guess no bear expects any bear gap could hold anyway. LOL

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: BEARISH BIASED, PIVOT DATE EITHER AROUND 10/22 OR 10/26 OR 11/04

Maintain the intermediate-term bearish view, the pivot date could be either around 10/22 or 10/26 or 11/04, see 10/15 Market Recap for more details. Below are summaries of all the arguments supporting my intermediate-term bearish view:

  1. As mentioned in 10/15 Market Recap, commercial (smart money) holds record high short positions against Nasdaq 100.
  2. As mentioned in 10/15 Market Recap, AAII bull ratio (4-week average) is way too bullish.
  3. As mentioned in 10/15 Market Recap, institution selling keeps increasing.
  4. As mentioned in 10/08 Market Recap, statistically, a strong off-season could mean a weaker earning season.
  5. As mentioned in 10/11 Market Recap, statistically VIX at 1 month low going into October was not a good sign.
  6. As mentioned in 10/15 Market Recap, US$ may rebound which is not good for the broad market.
  7. As mentioned in 10/19 Market Recap, IBM dropped after ER may mean SPX red in 5 weeks.
  8. As mentioned in 10/19 Market Recap, AAPI MACD is now too stretched which could mean a top for QQQQ.

SEASONALITY: NO UPDATE

For October Seasonality chart please refer to 10/01 Market Recap.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE OTHER ETFS IN MY PUBLIC CHART LIST

  1. The market appears a little stretched as lots of ETFs weekly %B are way too high.
