– State of the Market Address:
- The Dow is back above 24,000
- Shiller’s Adjusted S&P P/E ratio is now at 31.69 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 53 – neutral. Daily RSI is at 35 – neutral.
- Prior years corrections terminated at around 200 day moving average. Located at around 18,800 today (on weekly).
- Weekly Stochastics at 65 – neutral. Daily at 22 – oversold
- NYSE McClellan Oscillator is at -74. Oversold.
- Volatility measures VIX/VXX positioning reversed dramatically right before the “crash”. Commercial VIX long interest went from being 22K contracts net long to being 30K contracts net short.
- Last week’s CTO Reports suggest that commercials (smart money) have, more or less, maintained their positioning. For now, the Dow is 3X, the S&P is at 4X net short, Russell 2000 is now at 2.5X net short and the Nasdaq is net neutral.
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.

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 Wilshire 5000. Charts courtesy Daneric’s Elliott Waves
Explanation:
Long-Term: It appears the Wilshire 5000 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 Wilshire 5000 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
