- NYSE McClellan Oscillator is at +3. Neutral.
- VIX/VXX remain near their historic lows. Commercial VIX long interest was slightly higher this week Now at 84K contracts net long.
- Last week’s CTO Reports suggest that commercials (smart money) are shifting their positioning to net short. In fact, short interest further increased as compared to last week. For instance, the Dow is 4X, the S&P is at 2X, Russell 2000 is at 3X and the Nasdaq is at 5X 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.
