SHORT-TERM: TRADADABLE BOTTOM BUT MAY JUST BE A RETEST OF THE SPX 11/05 HIGHS BEFORE ROLLOVER AGAIN

As mentioned in 11/29 Market Recap, decisively breakout above SPX 1200 would confirm the low was in. And today we got this much anticipated confirmation with solid evidences supporting more upside room ahead. Also as mentioned in 11/29 Market Recap, now there’re 2 possibilities:

  1. Wave 5 up to SPX 1300+.
  2. Retest the SPX 11/05 highs before rollover again.

Whichever it’ll be depends on whether SPX 11/05 highs could be decisively broken. So now the next point to watch is SPX 1227. Personally, I’d temporarily lean on that this is just a retest of the SPX 11/05 highs. As for why, I also has hinted in 11/29 Market Recap: put call ratio is way too crazy now.

1-2-3TrendChange 

Let’s begin with why there’s more upside room ahead? Besides the reason given by today’s After Bell Quick Summary (basically it’s the Law of Inertia, neither should we short huge green bar nor long huge red bar), from the chart below we can see, 2 Major Accumulation Days within 5 trading days, with no exceptions, means at least a tradable bottom, if it’s not an intermediate-term bottom.

TradableBottom 

Then, why I temporarily lean on that this is just a retest of the SPX 11/05 highs? Because ISEE Equities Only Index is crazy today with readings surged to 327, which in another word is that retailers “call buy to open” is 3 times as much as “put buy to open”. The similar cases happened around the April top this year, when ISEE Equities Only Index made a record high readings at 348. Granted, just one day spike may mean nothing and that’s why I said “temporarily”. But at least it reminds us that from now on we need pay close attention to the ISEE Equities Only Index or whatever sentiment indicators. If they keep crazy then chances are very high that this is just a retest of the SPX 11/05 highs. The charts below listed all the past cases when ISEE Equities Only Index >= 260 for your references.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: 2 MAJOR DISTRIBUTION DAYS WITIN 5 DAYS MEANS MORE PULLBACKS AHEAD

The intermediate-term is in danger of entering a downtrend. See 11/23 Market Recap for more details.

SEASONALITY: MONDAY AND TUESDAY BEARISH, WEDNESDAY (12/01) BULLISH, WHOLE WEEK BEARISH
