*Please make sure you understand how to use the table above. The main purpose of this report is to provide information so contradictory signals are always presented.
SEASONALITY: THE LATER HALF OF THE WEEK IS GENERALL BULLISH
According to the Stock Trader’s Almanac:
- 04/15 income tax deadline, Dow down only 5 times since 1981.
- April expiration day, Dow up 11 of last 13.
CYCLE ANALYSIS: CYCLE TOP COULD BE AROUND 04/11 TO 04/15
See 04/08 Market Recap for more details.
INTERMEDIATE-TERM: EXPECT ROLLER COASTER AHEAD
Nothing new, according to the II Survey, too many people expected a correction, so the stock market should rise to a new high first before actually pulling back. Basically, my guess is that we’ll repeat the year 2004 roller coaster pattern. See 03/19 Market Recap for more details.
SHORT-TERM: A STRONG EARNINGS OFF-SEASON USUALLY MEANS A WEAKER EARNINGS SEASON
见04/09 Market Recap,关于Earnings Season的统计数据加上cycle analysis加上too many bearish extremes accumulated in the table above,因此我认为the coming earning season多半会sell on news。
今天有三个非常特别的地方:
- VIX:VXV new record low.
- VIX/VXN opened and closed out of BB bottom.
- Normalized CPCE new record low.
这些都是顶部的信号,加上上面table里的bearish extremes,market已经累积了非常多的top信号了,我不知道这些东东什么时候会起作用,但是for sure there’ll be a payback time,所以还是小心为妙。
6.2.3 VIX:VXV Trading Signals,new record low,注意看红竖线,基本上都在top附近。
6.2.5b VIX Body Completely Out Of BB Watch,open and close都在BB bottom以下,这也往往意味着大盘的顶部,尤其是VXN (VIX for Nasdaq),有兴趣的可以自己看看过去VXN opened and closed out of BB bottom以后都发生了什么。
- Date when VXN opened and closed out of BB bottom: 04/12/2010, 06/29/2009, 05/16/2008, 02/17/2006, 09/22/2003.
- Date when VIX opened and closed out of BB bottom: 04/12/2010, 01/11/2010, 04/09/2009, 08/18/2006, 08/16/2006, 09/12/2005, 04/12/2005, 04/11/2005.
8.1.5 Normalized CPCE,new record low,同样看红竖线,也是说top。(The so called “normalized” is to use the spread between MA(10) and MA(200) instead of using the absolute value so as to eliminate the bias the equity put/call ratio exhibits depending on what type of market we are in, therefore the effectiveness is better than simply using CPCE MA(5) and MA(10)).
STOCK SCREENER: For fun only, I may not actually trade the screeners. Since SPY ST Model is in BUY mode, only LONG candidates are listed. For back test details as well as how to confirm the entry and set stop loss please read HERE. Please make sure you understand the basic risk management HERE.
Looks like it’s too late to long stocks now as the market is way too overbought. Waiting for a better chance. |
