- The long term up trend is still in place with the 200 day not being threatened recently.
- The short term down trend in place with Friday’s price action failing to overtake or close above Thursday’s high of day to confirm a possible reversal.
- The momentum break over the 50 day sma failed completely to trend higher this week with an immediate reversal. It is bearish when momentum buy signals stop working.
- $SPY has spent 11 of the past 12 days closing under the 10 day sma indicating weakness.
- The MACD is still in a bearish crossover that has not reversed.
- RSI is close to neutral at 46, slightly bearish.
- The 30 RSI and the 200 day could line up closely together this week to create a high probability buy signal for a short term reversal.
- Very neutral readings this week a close above the 10 day sma will be the first indication of a possible leg higher.
- I would be a dip buyer at the 30 RSI level.
- The loss of the 200 day sma would be the first sign of a real correction, and even a potential cyclical bear market. I would look to start playing the short side with a close under the 200 day.
