– State of the Market Address:

  • The Dow is back below 25,000
  • Shiller’s Adjusted S&P P/E ratio is now at 32.84 Off highs, but still arguably at the highest level in history (if we adjust for 2000 distortions) and still above 1929 top of 29.55.
  • Weekly RSI at 58 – neutral. Daily RSI is at 47 – neutral.
  • Prior years corrections terminated at around 200 day moving average. Located at around 18,900 today (on weekly).
  • Weekly Stochastics at 46  – neutral. Daily at 54 – neutral
  • NYSE McClellan Oscillator is at +21 Neutral.
  • Commercial VIX interest is now 20K contracts net short.
  • Last week’s CTO Reports suggest that commercials (smart money) have, more or less, shifted into a bullish positioning.  For now, the Dow is 2X net short, the S&P is at 4X net short, Russell 2000 is net neutral and the Nasdaq is now 3X net long.

In summary: For the time being and long-term, the market remains in a clear long-term bull trend. Yet, a number of longer-term indicators suggest the market might experience a substantial correction ahead.  Plus, the “smart money” is positioning for some sort of a sell-off.
