SHORT-TERM: BEAR'S BEST BET TOMORROW IS THE SEASONALITY
Another bullish reversal day today. This usually is a very bullish sign so chances are good that we’ll see more upside ahead. Supporting this view is the VIX bearish reversal bar which, if history repeats, should mean that VIX will have further pullbacks and therefore is bullish for SPX.
Not sure about tomorrow, by default, it should be up of course, but seasonality wise, according to Stock Trader’s Almanac, day before Presidents Day weekend, SPX down 16 of last 19 and February Expiration Day, Dow down 7 of last 11, should be very bear friendly. The chart below from another angle shows the bearish seasonality for tomorrow as it could be the most bearish day in February.
In addition to the seasonality, here’s a small statistics (Thanks for a reader reminding me): SPY closes above MA(5) for 13 days in a row, short at today’s close and cover at the very first down day since 1991, you’d have 71% chances. Further more, the back test summary below, if you read carefully, you’ll find, interestingly, all losing trades were very very bullish cases that on average they’re up 6.8 more trading day! So think twice before shorting this crazy bull market.
INTERMEDIATE-TERM: WHETHER THIS IS PRIMARY 3 OF 3 TO GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY WE MAY KNOW THIS WEEK
