Is it time to short Apple (AAPL)? Can the overall stock market survive without Apple surging to all time highs? These are the questions we have when barely 12 nerds show up for an iPhone 8.

As they say, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. 

Full Story: That’s rotten! Barely a dozen shoppers queue at Apple’s flagship London store for launch of tech firm’s new £700 iPhone 8 

Now, let’s talk about the Yield Curve……

It is a well known fact that a flat or inverted yield curve signals recession. And that is exactly what we saw in 2000 and 2007.

Well, thanks to the Ponzi Operators at the FED we are nearly there again. The spread between 10 year and 1 year note is now just 100 basis points. Not at inversion point quite yet, but certainly heading that way.

Now, many yield curve watchers would use the above as a confirmation point that we are still 12-18 months away from any sort of a recession. I would caution against such a view.

Why?

Well, we have never seen the monetary conditions we are seeing today. Everything, including yields, have been distorted to such a degree by our central banker friends that, quite literally, anything goes.

ELLIOTT WAVE UPDATE:

Since many people have asked, I will attempt to give you my interpretation of Elliott Wave and how it is playing out in the market. First, I must admit. I don’t claim to be an EW expert, but I hope my “standard” interpretation is of help.

Let’s take a look at the most likely recent count on the S&P.

Explanation:

Long-Term: It appears the S&P is quickly approaching the termination point of its (5) wave up off of 2009 bottom. If true,we should see a massive sell-off later this year. Did it already complete? Click Here

Short-Term: It appears the S&P might have completed its intermediary wave 3 and now 4. It appears the market is now pushing higher to complete wave 5 of (5). If true, the above count should terminate the bull market. Did it already complete? Click Here

Most recently OIL (CL) has been fighting with a long-term and very powerful resistance level located at around $50. Compressing wedge above – top line. Is OIL getting ready to breakout about this important level or is it topping here? Perhaps pushing well below 2015 low of $26.05 in the process. Assuming the wedge breaks to the downside.

Well, that is exactly what we discuss HERE. If you would like to find out what OIL will do next based on our mathematical and timing work, please Click Here

– State of the Market Address:

• The Dow finds itself back above 22,000.
• Shiller’s Adjusted S&P P/E ratio is now at 30.65 Now at arguably the highest level in history (if we adjust for 2000 distortions) and still above 1929 top of 29.55.
• Weekly RSI at 72.28  – overbought. Daily RSI is at 72.37 – overbought.
• Prior years corrections terminated at around 200 day moving average. Located at around 18,000 today (on weekly).
• Weekly Stochastics at 88 – overbought. Daily at 98 – extremely overbought.
• NYSE McClellan Oscillator is at +32. Neutral.
• Volatility measures VIX/VXX remains at suppressed levels Commercial VIX long interest remained the same at 75K contracts net long. 
• Last week’s CTO Reports suggest that commercials (smart money) are shifting their positioning back to net neutral. Short interest has shifted slightly lower during the week. For now, the Dow is 7X, the S&P is at 3X, Russell 2000 is 3X net long and the Nasdaq are net neutral. That is a substantial 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.
