No idea up or down tomorrow. A few sell short at close today HOLD until test condition invalid cases shown below, none are good setup, so I don’t see bear’s edges despite seemingly the market is overbought.
- SPY up 5 days in a row, short at close today, HOLD until the very first day SPY closes down, you have 67% chances to make money with profit factor 1.7 which is not perfect.
- Both SPY and VIX up 2 days in a row, short SPY at close today, HOLD until the very first day SPY and VIX move in different direction, you have 61% chances to make money with profit factor 1.6 which is not perfect.
- SPY RSI(2) above 98 for 1 day, short SPY at close today, HOLD until the very first day RSI(2) below 98 (i.e. SPY closes down), you have 74% chances to make money with profit factor 1.4 which is not good.
Routine statistics about SPY up 5 days in a row. This is about tomorrow, not HOLD until.
So far no reason to play the short side. BPs wildly to the upside:

Monthly SPX shows resistance up at 2255, but so far nothing suggests to exit bullish positions.

Monthly SPX chart without SPX – only momentum and MA 34. It suggests that after a 10-year period of weakness SPX has bottomed out.
