0.2.1 10Y T-Bill Yield: ROC(30) >= 9, topped? (Due to Quantitative Easing, I’m not sure if it still works)

01/07 Market Recap: Seasonality wise the rest of January isn’t good.
01/07 Market Recap: Strong Off-Season means poor Earning Season.

01/10 Market Recap: INDU down Friday and the following Monday was a bad sign.
SPY SETUP ENTRY DATE STOP LOSS INSTRUCTION: Mechanic signals, back test is HERE, signals are HERE.
TRADING PLATFORM:
SSO/SDS, UPRO/SPXU
Non-Stop 09/07 L N/A
ST Model Buy mode doesn’t mean long, a 2nd buy signal is needed to enter long.
Short-term N/A N/A Trend is UP.  I hold no position overnight.
My Thoughts A correction is just a matter of time, but until price confirms, I prefer long to short, with caution though.

SHORT-TERM: INTC ER COULD BE A PIVOT POINT

The tale today is INTC ER, so far from AH, it looks great, but statistically (courtesy of Bespoke), it means sell at open tomorrow.

INTCER

Also as illustrated in the chart below, INTC ER was more likely the pivot point for the broad market.

INTCERPivotPoint

The statistics below is from Sentimentrader, which I think fits for our current situation. Looks like the following couple of weeks are not so great. Especially, now the seasonality says the same thing, click the link to see chart 8.2.9c QQQQ – 2002 to 8.2.9k QQQQ – 2010, with no exception, from the 8th trading day of the year until end of the January, QQQQ performance was bad.

  1. Please make sure you understand how to use the table above. The purpose of this report is to provide info so contradictory signals are always presented.
  2. Conclusions can be confirmed endlessly, but trading wise, you have to take actions at certain risk level as soon as you feel the confirmation is enough. There’s no way for me to adapt to different risk levels therefore no trading signals will be given in this report except the mechanical signals such as SPY ST Model.
  3. * = New update; Blue Text = Link to a chart in my public chart list.
