Cycle Top Met in the SPX
Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015 Oct 09, 2015 - 10:32 AM GMTThe final surge in SPX hit Cycle Top resistance at 2013.51 where it appears to be repelled. A cross beneath the 50-day Moving Average at 1994.49 puts SPX back on a confirmed sell signal.
SPX has a new bearish profile with an Orthodox Broadening Top formation. A final peak that is lower than the second peak of the formation elevates the probability of a negative outcome to over 80%. Once SPX declines beneath the lower trendline the chances of meeting its proposed target is elevated to as high as 96%.
Note also the squeezing of the trading bands. This is an indication of a very large move, usually in the opposite direction of the band that is being challenged.
This has all the earmarks of a sucker’s rally.
VIX has also complete its Minor Wave C at the Cycle Bottom line at 16.88 and is bouncing higher. VIX remains on an aggressive sell signal until it exceeds its 50-day Moving Average at 21.33.
Note the squeeze play in the trading bands here, as well. This may be a setup for a gap higher in the morning.
The Hi-Lo Index ratcheted up to 91, but stayed inside its bearish Flag formation.
TNX may have just completed its retracement to the Intermediate-term resistance at 21.17, missing it by 4 ticks. We may see a probe higher, but the futures do not support that thesis at this time. It appears that the bearish trend in yields is about to resume.
Have a good night!
Regards,
Tony
