Daily Stock Market Update & Forecast – May 30th, 2017

State of the Market Address:

  • The Dow is once again above 21,000.
  • Shiller’s Adjusted S&P P/E ratio is now at 29.59.  Arguably the highest level in history (if we adjust for 2000 distortions) and now above 1929 top of 29.55.
  • Weekly RSI at 67.52 – neutral. Daily RSI is at 57.63 – neutral.
  • Prior years corrections terminated at around 200 day moving average. Located at around 17,500 today (on weekly).
  • Weekly Stochastics at 76.00 – neutral. Daily at 91.40 -overbought.
  • NYSE McClellan Oscillator is at -2. Neutral.
  • Volatility measures VIX/VXX are once again sitting at or near their historic lows. Commercial VIX long interest was slightly lower this week Now at 74K contracts net long. That is to be expected as commercial traders took profit during last week’s spike. We should see volatility long interest higher over the next few weeks. 
  • Last week’s CTO Reports suggest that commercials (smart money) are shifting their positioning to net short. Short interest has descreased slightly during the week. Once again, due to profit taking. We should expect higher short interest numbers at the end of next week. For now, the Dow is 3X, the S&P is at 2X, Russell 2000 is at 2X and the Nasdaq is at 3X short. That is a significant short position against the market.

In summary: For the time being and long-term, the market remains in a clear 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.
