By Anthony Milton,
inspired by a text from his daughter, Shayna
I was inspired to write about this topic, after receiving a text from my twelve year old daughter. I was shocked from reading her text, and I thought, WOW! Then, I remembered overhearing her and my other two daughters discussing the pros and cons about the upcoming presidential election. As I listen, I was amazed that my three daughters, 10, 12, and 14 years old have an interest and opinion about the election. I have never discussed the election with them.
One day, they asked me who I was voting for. I told them and they responded by saying if they could vote, they would vote for him. Their choice was the same as mine. I became more curious as to what caused them to have an interest in this 2008 presidential election because I had never heard them talk much about the last presidential election of 2004.
They told me that they had an opportunity to watch some of the presidential election commercials and heard what was being said, but that they did not agree with what they had heard. They cited a statement, we need change, which both parties have been mentioning. I thought about this statement which is being utilized by politicians, and is continually being used during this election. These politicians want us to put our trust in them and accept their change for our vote for their prospective offices.
I would insert the text that has inspired this topic, we need change, at the end of this message We all need change, or, do we all need to change? I have asked myself this question time and time again, over the course of my life. You may have probably done the same.
Both candidates are telling you and I to vote for them and change will come. There is some truth in their statement, but, what kind of change? How would this change affect me? Are the changes that they are talking about good for me or would it put me in a compromising position as to change my moral beliefs to theirs?
Am I supposed to wait for their change or should I take a look at my life and change what needs to be changed, and not wait for a change that takes away from others. I must look at my faults that have caused my problems, which have put me in a dilemma.
The politicians are not responsible for my bad decisions. I am solely responsible for my bad decisions. It is wrong for me to want any politician to take away from others and give to me to solve my problems.
Is there a glimmer of hope if I take a look at myself, and decide what I need to change in my life, or should I exclusively put my hope for change in a politician? If I do that, then I would be a slave to them. I would be waiting for what they have decided to give to me.
How can the change that they offer be good for me, if I have to wait on their handouts for my survival? This kind of change is not good for me. Should I choose their change based on emotions or should I make a choice based on the truth. Where could I go for more information to help me in my dilemma?
Who should I seek out for the truth about this kind of change? Should I just accept their change that appeals to my needs? Should I ignore the big picture as it pertains to my moral beliefs, and wait for their change? Ahhh, I must closely examine the kind of change that is being offered to me.
There is indeed a change that I can effect in my life, and that change is to make a decision based on the truth and not based on my desires and emotions. My decision should not be influenced by the candidate's race or gender.
I have examined what is being said and have determined that I do not need their kind of change that takes from others, or hurts others.
I have spoken to some of my friends and to some strangers that I have met, who have ignored the truth and voted for their change-candidate based solely on race, gender and what pertains to their desires. Have they really listened to what is being said or they do not care, I wonder.
As I continued to think about what my daughter had written to me, I realized that she was not moved by her emotions. She had listened to what was being said and had determined that something was wrong with this change that was being spoken about and being offered to those who can vote.
In her young age she had determined that we all must awake from our sleep. Because of her age she could not vote; however, there is no age requirement that would prevent her from praying about what was troubling to her about this change.
Furthermore, I was thinking about this change that was being offered to me. I began to realize that we are living in a time that any change that comes forth from deception, witchcraft power and lies, is dangerous for all of us.
If we refuse to examine what is being said to us and only enjoy the emotional side of the statement as it pertains to our selfish desires, we will regret the choice that we have made and our children and humanity will reap the results.
Our decision should be made when we have received all of the facts and not solely from a statement, or because of race, or gender.
Oh! Who can open my eyes and ears to the truth?! The truth should come from God and from all the facts that have been given to us, which would help us to make the righteous decision. When information is withheld from us, and others are deciding for us, we are no longer in charge of our lives. We cannot make a righteous decision from deception, witchcraft, lies, selfish desires, pride or whatever you just thought of.
We all need to change. The question is what is the kind of change we need? We need to change our immoral beliefs. We need to change from being prideful. We need to change from being stubborn. We need to change from blaming others for our problems. We need to change from seeking to take advantage of others.
We need to change from being angry at other races. We need to change from being mad at God, because of our race, gender, problems, and circumstances. We need to change from those sinful behaviors that have been pointed out to us. We need to change from thinking that we are above God's Word. We need to change from thinking that God has given us special permission to do as we please.
Some ministers need to change from their teachings that have prevented the Spirit of Christ from helping the people. We need to change from accepting a lie. We need to change from always wanting a handout when we can do things for ourselves. We need to examine ourselves and make the corrections needed.
We need to confess our sins and repent of refusing to examine any deception that is being directed towards us. We need to seek out God and ask for help in our time of need. We need to stop idolizing any candidate. We need to realize that when we accept a lie or deception above the Word of God because of our own self-interest, we will reap what we have sown. Also, the candidate, or any elected official, is not exempt from reaping what they have sown upon us.
We need to realize that we must examine our actions, our true motives, and do the righteous thing, regardless of a candidate's gender or race. We need to change from our will and seek out God's will for our change. We need to change from thinking that we could have it both ways.
We need to change from not studying God's Word, and begin to search it for the truth as it pertains to a politician's change and our own. We need to pray to God for help and be careful not to tell Him how to answer our prayers.
We need to change from thinking that we are on this earth for self, and only self. We need to change from the belief that we are in total control of our lives. We need to realize that we did not create ourselves. We need to realize that when we put our faith in a candidate, or put ourselves above God, we are inviting trouble into our lives.
We need to understand that if we refuse to accept the truth and continue to do as we please, we will experience change and we would not be in control as to when this change takes effect in our lives, or our children's lives.
Changes take place spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally all the time. It does not make a difference whether we are aware of it or not. Right from when you are born, you have been exposed to some kind of change.
When we reject the truth and accept a lie, we will experience a change, and from that choice comes a reaping of what we have sown. We will experience the consequence of our decision. It will not be from the politician's statements, it will be from you refusing to examine what was being said to you. Likewise, if you accept the truth, you will reap from it.
We do not need a change that is harmful to this county and us. We need a change in the individual that would make a positive difference to our lives and this country. We need an inward transformation of the mind. We must seek to lose one's original way of thinking. We need God to change some of our thinking that is at war with Him. We must undergo this change even though it will be painful at times.
Now, who are you going to seek out for your change? We need to call on God to prevail in this election, to prevail in you and I. We believe and trust that His will be done.
This is my daughter's text that inspired this message:
These are her words and opinion, and we all have are own. We must allow others to express their opinion. It not about who is right or wrong. It is an opinion.
This message is not directed towards any specific presidential candidate. It could apply to both of them, or any elected official.
All of them are saying vote for me and change will come. However, if you are believing in your own candidate's change message and are rejecting, refusing to accept, or to believe the true message which is, we need to change our thinking, then you have chosen your own change above God's change for you and this country.
I have no power to make you do anything. I am just a messenger. Change will come to you and this country.
It is my prayer that Lord gives you the spiritual insight to see through the spiritual smoke screens that have blinded you.

AH! This book was SOOOO good. Steamy, sexy, sweet, and delicious! And that cover!
To Rome With Love tells the story of Gabriela and Silvio who are both going through divorces after their spouses cheated. Gaby is taking some time to visit her best friend Maria, and her husband Carlo, in Rome, where she meets the rude and arrogant Silvio, Carlo's cousin. They end up working together catering Carlo's daughters wedding, spending time grocery shopping, cooking, and sightseeing, per Maria's demands!
Silvio has a face that has been "finely carved by the angels", educated in art history at Oxford, and the kind of sexy that knows he's sexy. Gaby is a chef, with curves in all the right places, curly blond hair, unique lilac eyes, but sees herself inadequate and unsexy compared to other women. And she's sure to let Silvio know when he's being rude and arrogant! I really liked Gaby's personality. She was real and genuine.
The two can't deny the chemistry between them no matter how much they want to. They frustrated me so much though! The passion between them was {HOT} & incredible, but every single time one of them had to go and screw things up, can't they just admit to each other that they're in love?! Gaby doesn't want to get in a relationship and have her heart crushed again, especially by another Italian man. As for Silvio, Gaby is unlike any woman he's ever been interested in and that scares him. Can they just enjoy the time they have, no strings attached, no labels? Or do they feel they have something more?
The writing style and descriptions were beautiful. One of my favorite lines describes the moon as a "scoop of tangerine sorbet" hanging in the sky. While stunningly descriptive, the author is also hilarious: Gaby's friend Sandy goes on a date expecting Channing Tatum and ends up with Friar Tuck! This was a novel that completely captured me and I did not want to stop reading! If you're looking for a sexy, fun read with the luscious setting of Italy, this is the one!
The author sent me a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. Please let there be a sequel! Thank you Mandi!
To Rome With Love is available for pre-order now here and releases February 10 on Amazon!

Ron's Treatment
Why did you choose Midlands Smile Centres?
I went on the internet and browsed around, and the testimonials at this place seemed fine. The finances seemed fine as well, because it is an expensive proceedure, so you take everything into account. I plumbed for this place, and I haven't looked back.
Were you pleased with that decision?
I'm pleased with the service, the quality, everything, you know. At every stage of the proceedure, I was informed and told what was happening. I felt confident with that and I'm so glad I came here. I browsed on a few practices and then made a decision for this one.
How did you feel before having a dental implant?
With a tooth missing at the front, I'll be truthful, I felt a bit of a plonker. You do, you know, and you lose some of your confidence.
How did you feel about your dentist?
When I first met Dr Chohan, he examined everything and gave me some options. He noticed the complexities, because there was already an implant in place. He took me through the procedure. He explained everything. There were a couple of alternatives. I could have had it done in a couple of different ways. He took me through the alternatives.
You need confidence in your dentist, you know, and straight away he gave me a lot of confidence. I was very impressed with the way that he immediately evaluated the problem. He told me straight away, "This is not going to be an ordinary implant."
Was it a good investment?
It's a very good investment in terms of time and money. I'm not a young person, this is for the rest of life.
In summary?
Excellent job. I couldn't fault the work. I'm really pleased. Really, really, and I mean that.

Still Bullish OutlookStill bullish; look for new all-time highs
Still Bullish As Long As Support HoldsThe outlook is bullish as long as $SPX closes above 3130.
Interim UpdateINTERIM ujpdate
Still a bullish chart for SPXDespite a slowing pace to the rally and some unexpected resistance at 3280, the SPX chart remains above support, and is thus bullish.
Interim UpdateLaboring advance is beginning to fade.
Still Waiting For A BreakoutDespite failures by both bulls and bears, we do expect a breakout soon.
Interim NewsletterStill waiting for a breakout from 3100-3235 range
Still Waiting For A BreakoutDespite rising slightly this week, SPX has still not broken out of the 2920-3230 trading range.
Still In A Trading RangeMarket breadth has not been good, but this week it was strong enough to briefly erase the sell signals that were generated last week.
Bears Have A ChanceThe island reversal formation is still on the $SPX chart, and as long as that is the case, the bears have a chance to take control.
Negativity Still RemainsDespite the rally this week, the huge down day of June 11th still weighs on this market.
Volatile But Could Go Either WayWe are seeing both buy signals and sell signals setting up in this increasingly volatile market.
Overbought Does Not Mean "Sell"Indicators are overbought, but we are awaiting confirmed sell signals.
Momentum Remains Bullishshort term bullish; intermediate-term bearish
Trying to break out on the upsdieSPX is trying to break out on the upside -- out of the trading range. Resistance at 3000
INTERIM updateInterim update - market comment
Trading Range Or Something Worse?Retain a "core" bearish position
Still Warily Riding The RallyThe short-term rally continues, and we are participating, but we also are maintaining a "core" bearish position.
Not Everything Is BullishWe maintain a "core" bearish position because of volatility and $SPX chart considerations.
Back Into The Resistance AreaSPX has rallied back in the 2850-2900 resistance area. A breakout above here should have some resistance at 3000. Below the market, there is support at 2650.
Interim UpdateInterim update
Trade both sides of this marketNew buy signals in VIX and potential buy signal in "VIX crossover"
Interim updateBoth sides of this market can be traded
Mixed signalsWe are maintaining a "core" bearish position, while trading short-term buy signals around it.
Interim NewsletterInterim update
Remain CautiousThe $SPX chart remains bearish and the volatility term structure does too. That is enough to be wary of further downside action.
Interim UpdateInterim update
Oversold rally, but the THE bottomA strong oversold rally is underway that could carry to 2730 or so, but expect more on the downside later.
Interim updateOversold rally not the end of the bear
Core Position Remains BearishOur core position remains bearish, but the market is so oversold that a sharp, but short-lived rally could erupt at almost any time. It would likely run into problems when it hits the declining 20-day moving average.
Interim updateTrying to establish an oversold rally
Interim updateMarket Comment + Follow-up action only
Core Position Still BearishThe core position is bearish, but oversold rallies will continue to generate very sharp, but brief rallies.
Follow-Up actionThis is for follow-up action.
Oversold, But No Buy Signals YetDon't sell out your long puts yet, just tighten stops and/or roll down.
Bears On The VergeA decoupling of sorts appeared in the market this week. Early in the week, the major indices were making new all-time highs, while breadth was negative. But then, on Thursday $SPX and other major averages absorbed some very heavy selling, yet breadth was positive and put-call ratios didn't rise.
Bullish Momentum Rules AllIndicators are mixed, but momentum is bullish.
Bullish Confirmation Still LackingSPX needs to close above 3337 a second time in order to confirm the upside breakout, in my opinion. Otherwise, the chance of a false breakout in great.
Not All Is Bullish, YetInterim update
The Core Position Is BearishMost of our indicators are on sell signals, but for a complete bearish case to be made, $SPX needs to close below 3200.
A Correction Is Possible NowThe indicators have been clinging to buy signals, but we spell out a series of conditions under which sell signals would occur.
Bullish momentum intactDespite a worrisome growth in overbought conditions, there are no confirmed sell signals, so we remain bullish.
No sell signals yetThey could arise quickly if the market begins to turn down, but right now we are sticking with long position, while tightening trailing stops.
Interim UpdateAll indicators remain bullish, but many are extremely overbought.
Still A Bull MarketDespite some heavy selling this morning, stocks have retained most of their momentum, as breadth and volatility recovered to bullish levels. There is one new sell signal, though.
Interim UpdateToday's market decline is not necessarily the end of this bull run.
Overbought, But Momentum StrongAvoid complacency, for overbought conditions can change to sell signals quickly.
Interim UpdateMomentum is strong, and the bulls remain in charge
Interim HOTLINEFollow-up action
SPX Chart Is Still BullishThe SPX chart is bullish, and that is dominant over other overbought conditions. Confirmed sell signals are few.
Still Bullish But OverboughtAs long as $SPX is > 3070 and $VIX < 16, all is good for the bulls.
Overbought But Still BullishThe move this week reversed or canceled a few budding sell signals, leaving many overbought conditions, but virtually no confirmed sell signals at this time.
Sell Signals Beginning To AppearAs long as SPX and VIX charts remain positive, the bulls are still in charge.
Still Bullish, But Stay AlertThe SPX and VIX charts are bullish, and they are dominant. Other overbought conditions in put-call ratios have not caused a problem so far.
Bullish Momentum Still StrongDespite overbought conditions, there are no sell signals confirmed at this time.
Stay with the bullish trend$SPX is getting overbought, but is still bullish
Awaiting resolutionEither SPX trades at new highs or closes the gap at 2950. One way or the other, there should be a sizeable move once either event happens.
Bullish, But...We can't turn bulilsh until SPX closes at new highs.
Bulls Make A ChargeThe market is over-reacting to China trade news, but the technical outlook is improving.
Bears Take ControlThe break of support at 2940 was crucial, especially since VIX also broke out over 17.
Bulls Trying To Hold The LineA close below 2940, coupled with VIX above 17 would be bearish. Otherwise, the bulls are still in charge.
Bullish, but running short on timeSPX above 2940 and VIX below 17 = all is good
Remain bullish on SPXOur outlook remains bullish at this time. There are no sell signals in place, and the only overbought conditions seem to be in the breadth indicators. That would change if $SPX fell below 2940 and $VIX rose above 17, so those would be our "stops."
Interim UpdateThe outlook is positive as long as SPX is above 2940 and VIX is below 17.
Upside Breakout Is BullishThus, the outlook has become bullish, as long as support holds at 2950.
Interim UpdateThe SPX breakout over 2950 is bullish.
Awaiting A BreakoutA breakout above 2950 would be bullish, but a breakdown below 2825 would be very bearish.
Bulls fail at 2950 againResistance held at 2950 again on Friday; will support at 2825 finally be broken?
Interim UpdateA close above 2950 would be bullish; below 2825 bearish.
Oversold rallies amongst a bearish trendIf support at 2830 breaks, look for 2720-2730 in short order.
Interim UpdateRemain negative; expect short-term rallies.
Oversold buy signals amidst a negative environmentThe breakdown through support on the $SPX chart turned that negative, and that is very important . But the ferocity of the decline spawned oversold buy signals. Hence, we are maintaining "core" bearish positions, but also trading some of the oversold condition buy signals,
interim updateMixed signals; intermediate-term bearish; short-term bullish
Major BreakdownA close below 2940-2950 support is likely to issue in another full-blown correction
Interim updateBreakdown below 2940 intraday and below 2950 on a closing basis would turn the entire picture bearish
Still Remaining BullishAs long as $SPX holds above support at 2950, the outlook is bullish.
Sell Signals EmergeA short-term correction has likely begun, but as long as $SPX remains above support at 2890-2910, damage should be limited.
Interim updateCorrection underway, but intermediate-term bullish
Bullish Momentum Still StrongThe fact that the market is making new all-time highs partially obscures poor internals. But as long as $SPX remains support, all is good.
Bulls pressing for moreNew all time highs are bullish. Even though some overbought conditions are beginning to appear, the outlook is higher unless support at 2900 is violated
Bulls remain in chargeThe indicators remain bullish, but changes would occur if SPX closed below 2890
Bulls ready to make another run?The indicators remain bullish, but enough of them are tenuous so that a break below 2890 by SPX would change the outlook to bearish
Interim updateIndicators are still positive, but support needs to hold.
Remain bullish despite some seasonal weaknessOur indicators are mostly bullish, although an important sell signal is setting up. This is a seasonally bearish week coming up.
FURTHER Interim update -The short-term outlook remains bullish
Remain bullish, but vigilantmost of our indicators remain bullish, but breadth and volatility are a bit suspect, so stay alert.
Interim updateBuy signals remain in force, but the rally has run into resistance.
Just An Oversold Rally?The oversold rally this week generated some new buy signals, but unless SPX can overcome resistance at 2900, the bears still have a chance.
Interim updateThe oversold rally is powerful and has generated buy signals from the put-call ratios
Maintain a "core" bearish positionThe breakdown below 2800 was quite negative. Maintain a core bearish position. What are now oversold conditions will eventually become buy signals, but that's not now.
Interim reportMaintain a "core" bearish position.
Bulls Trying To Hold The Line At 2800The 2800 level is very crucial; a close below there will likely set off a bout of serious selling.
Interim reportA close below 2800 would be very negative
Expect a trading range breakoutSPX bounced off of support at 2800, and then ran into resistance at 2890-2900. Expect a breakout from this narrow range soon, with the direction of the breakout gaining momentum quickly thereafter.
Interim UpdateSPX in a trading range between 2800 and 2900. A breakout should be significant.
Interim postingThe bears are suddenly in charge, but as long as SPX support holds at 2800, all is not lost.
Bulls not done yetDespite some sell signals, the SPX chart remains positive, and thus the outlook is bullilsh as long as SPX remains above support.
Interim updateDespite some sell signals, we remain bullish as long as $SPX remains above support levels.
Bulls still in chargeThe SPX chart is the most bullish indicator of all, so the short term outlook remains bullish. But a break of support at 2870 could spawn a sharp correction.
Interim updateSPX still bullish for now
A correction could be at handEven though we don't have any sell signals confirmed at this time, the market is tired and rallies are being sold. Expect a correction
INTERIM updateThe market is overbought and sluggish; full newsletter over the weekend
Grinding higherAll of the indicators are bullish, so we expect a challenge of the all-time highs in the near future.
Ready to challenge the highsThe market broke out over 2860 and that changed the landscape to strongly bullish
Market suddenly trapped in a trading range$SPX didn't capitalize on the upside breakout, but support at 2800 has held on a closing basis. So for now, $SPX is in a trading range between 2785 and 2860.
Bulls clinging to support at 2800The upside breakout over 2820 turned the outlook positive, but that would be threatened by a close back below 2800.
Interim updateMarket is bullish as long as it holds above 2800
Breakout over 2820 heavily anticipatedThe breakout over 2820 has taken place, but it's being met with a yawn. There is a possibility that it could be fakeout.
Interim updateSo many people are looking for the breakout over 2820 that it will probably happen, but won't be the big deal everyone expects
It's the bears' turn nowThe breakdown below the 200-day MA and below support has placed the market in a bearish position. We will see what the bears can do now.
Interim updateSPX has broken down, and the outlook is now bearish
Look for a breakout one way or the other, soonA breakout over 2820 or below 2750 should propel the market significantly.
Interim updateA breakout over 2820 or a decline below 2750 would be significant.
Bulls continue to push forwardThere are no sell signals, so we remain bullish short-term, but unless $SPX can break out over 2820, there is still the chance of a resumption of the bear market.
Interim newsletterRemaining short-term bullish.
Bulls still control the short-termRemain short-term bullish, but still be wary of failure to overcome resistance at 2820.
Interim newsletterRemain long, but stay vigilant
First signs of weaknessThe first sell signal has occurred. It could be a bit premature, but don't count on that.
Enjoy the bullish ride while it lastsThe parallels to January 2001 were almost exact; will a new leg of the bear market follow?
INTERIM updateInterim update
Rally still intact for nowThe short-term rally can continue; we do not have any sell signals yet.
Interim reportInterim report
Short term still okay, but danger lies aheadThe short-term rally should have some more room to run, but the $SPX chart remains negative so the longer-term outlook is negative.
Interim newsletterInterim update -- short term bullish; long-term bearish
Don't become complacentWhile this short-term rally may have more room to run on the upside, this is still a bear market. Treat it accordingly.
Interim updateStill a bear market
Short-Term Bullish, But The Bears Are Not DoneOversold conditions have not yet been worked off, and more buy signals will occur in the short term. But the major trend is still down.
Just a temporary oversold rallyMassive oversold conditions are likely to spur a rally, but the bear market will return.
Short-term buy signalsThis is an interim update; full newsletter to follow
Extremely oversold should lead to some near-term reliefThis is still a bear market, but it is so oversold that short-term buy signals are feasible.
Bear market is intactThe fact that SPX broke down through the October lows, confirms that this bear market is intact.
October lows could be tested soonSo far, $SPX has found support at 2600-2620, but we expect to see that taken out soon.
INTERIM NewsletterWe remain bearish as long as $SPX continues to close below 2820.
Bulls not in control yetThe resistance at 2820 is still a major obstacle for stocks. The seasonality and the G-20 meeting are obscuring the market's more negative tendencies right now.
Expect the October lows to be brokenBear markets usually make new lows in late November or early December, before a year-end rally unfolds. Expect the same this year.
If this is a bear, 2600 is nextWith the gaps having been filled on the SPX chart, it's now a test between the 2600 support level and the 2820 resistance level.
INTERIM updateIn bearish markets, new lows are usually made just before or just after Thanksgiving.
Bears not done yetIf SPX cannot break out over 2820, it should not be bought.
INTERIM updateMarket is still vulnerable unless $SPX can close above 2820
Oversold rally running out of timeA close above 2820 would be bullish; anything else is bearish.
INTERIM updateOversold rally running out of steam
Bears in charge, even though very oversoldThe market is in a downtrend below its 200-day MA. That's a bear market in my book. But oversold conditions are heavy, and the seasonals are favorable at the end of October, so a relief rally might be coming up this week.
First INTERIM updateFollow-ups; full newsletter to follow later
Bears still in charge it seemsDespite oversold conditions, $SPX has not been able to rally. There is now resistance at 2820, and a close at new lows would be a big problem.
Short term oversold, but bears still in chargeThe market is wounded but very oversold, so short-term rallies are possible, but there are intermediate-term problems
Oversold rebound expected, but bulls not in controlThe market is extremely oversold, so a bounce is likely; but there are bigger problems.
Divergences weighing on the marketThe $SPX chart is still in an uptrend, but negative divergences have emerged.
Remain bullish, but watch the divergencesDespite growing divergences, the market is still bullish until $SPX breaks down and/or $VIX breaks out.
Breakout to new highs should propel stocks even higherThe breakout is a strong one, and as long as SPX hold support levels, our outlook is bullish
INTERIM HOTLINEThe general outlook remains bullish.
Bulls taking charge againA modest correction was all that could be attained by the bears. Therefore, the picture remains bullish unless support is broken.
Sell signals mounting$SPX remains above support but a violation of support could be quite bearish, since sell signals are appearning.
Bears may have a chanceThe bull market remains intact, but there are some potential sell signals on the horizon. They can only be acted upon if they are CONFIRMED sell signals, though.
INTERIM updateOverbought conditions are looming, but no confirmed sell signals yet
Bulls still have controlAs the market makes new highs, the bullish case is strong -- as long as $SPX remains above support (at 2800).

Could a double top be possible?Despite general euphoria, there could be problems ahead for this market. If support is broken, then a scenario similar to 2000 could play out.
Interim Hotline updateBe sure to read the article about a potential double top
A Correction Has Been SignaledThings turned negative on Friday, and so a correction has begun
Interim UpdateThe short-term outlook remains bullish. This is a HOTLINE update; the full report will follow later today.
Tentatively BullishThe $SPX chart is bullish, but it can't seem to authoritatively break out over 2800. A pullback would not be harmful unless it carried below 2740.
Hotline: Full Report To Follow LaterIndicators are still mostly positive, but the market is looking "tired."

Bears still have a chanceWith $SPX breaking down below 2740, the bears still have a chance to take control, but they need a close below 2700 to do so.

Still trapped in a narrow trading rangeWith most indicators bullish, we expect that the 2740-2800 trading range will be resolved on the upside, but until it is, don't get overly positive.
Hotline update$SPX is still trapped in the 2740-2800 range, waiting for a breakout.
SPX struggling to keep up with RUT and NDXEven though the indicators remain bullish, SPX is struggling to break out over 2800, much less to attain new highs as NDX and RUT have done.
Bulls taking controlAfter having closed the gap at 2750 on the $SPX chart, all indicators are bullish.
No breakout yetThe market just can't get out of its way. We await a breakout over 2750 or a breakdown below 2640.
Still waiting for a breakoutStill waiting for SPX to breakout over 2750, or break down below 2630. Otherwise, it's a trading range.
Awaiting a breakout - either wayResistance at 2750 and support at 2630. Which one will give way first?
Nearing an all clear on the upside?$SPX has broken above the April highs and broken through the downtrend line. All that remains to turn the $SPX chart positive is a close above 2750.
Waiting for a break of trend, one way or the otherThere are buy signals from some indicators, and sell signals from others. Hence, the bi-directional market. But the overall trend is still lower, based on the $SPX chart.
Not bullish yetDespite some improvement in the indicators, the downtrend line and gap at 2750 on the $SPX chart remain impediments to the bulls.
Stay cautiousEven though it was positive that $SPX broke out of the "box" that had contained prices, that is not an "all clear" for the market.
Bulls might be losing their chanceSPX has been trapped in the 2585 - 2660 trading range for several weeks. A breakout from this "box" should generate a strong move. The bulls appear to have failed in their latest upside breakout attempt.
SPX chart is still bearishIf SPX makes new lows, expect an increase in volatility. Even it it rallies, the SPX chart is negative until the gap at 2750 is filled -- a seemingly impossible task from these levels.
200-day Moving Average is the key level nowShort-term buy signals and support at the 200-day moving average could generate a rally to 2700 or so, but if the 200-day moving average is broken, all bullish best are off.
More trouble aheadIntermediate-term indicators are negative, while short-term oversold conditions are building. It appears that a retest of the Feb lows at SPX 2530 is coming.
Looking for a breakoutThe market needs to break out over 2790 for the bulls to regain control; a breakdown below 2730 would be very negative.
Things are looking betterThe indicators are much more bullish now, and a close above 2790 would be major bullish development.
Could still be problems aheadThere are still intermediate-term problems, but short-term rallies will continue to confuse traders.
The battle lines are drawnIf $SPX can't break out over 2750 soon, expect the bears to re-take control and test the lows.
Not all clear yetThe short-term buy signals remain in effect, but the intermediate-term still has some problems.
Oversold conditions building up, but no buy signals yetThe market's slaughter has turned the intermediate-term indicators negative,, but massive oversold conditions are building.
Not done selling yetThe overbought conditions that had been building up have unleashed a torrent of selling. This is likely a short-term correction, but it could carry SPX down to the 2700 level or below before it's finally exhausted.
Can't sell yetDespite numerous new highs and growing overbought conditions, the market's outlook remains positive.
Still no top in sightDespite overbought conditions, the intermediate-term outlook remains bullish
Rally is still in good shapeAs long as $SPX is above support at 2700 and $VIX is below 13, the intermediate-term uptrend is intact.
New year, same old marketThe market is off to a roaring start, and the intermediate-term outlook still looks positive.
Bullish seasonality coming to an endThe intermediate-term remains positive, but the end of the bullish seasonal period may finally lead to a correction
Overbought conditions could cause trouble in the new yearThe Intermediate-term is still bullish, but once the seasonal bullish period ends in the New Year, there could be a correction.
Clear sailing through year-end?Whatever negatives there are (not many) are going to be unable to compete with the year-end seasonal bullishness. The intermediate-term remains bullish regardless.
Another round of positive seasonals lies aheadThere is only a tiny window for the bears to be able to engineer a correction before year-end positive seasonals take control.
Bullish through year-endThe "correction" (or whatever it was) is over, and higher prices are foreseen for both the short- and intermediate-term.
Bullish seasonals after ThanksgivingBullish seasonals kick in after Thanksgiving, so the bears are running out of time to engineer a correction
Negative divergencesThe intermediate-term remains positive, but a short-term correction seems likely now.
Correction is still possibleThe intermediate term is still bullish because of the strong $SPX chart, but other technical indicators are weakening, suggesting a correction is at hand.
Sell signals are appearingSell signals are appearing, which should result in a market correction, but not a termination of the intermediate-term uptrend.
Don't sell yetDespite some overbought conditions, we have no verified sell signals, so we remain bullish.
Overbought, but not bearish (yet)Some sell signals are beginning to appear, but unless $SPX breaks down, they won't mean much.
No sell signals yetThe market is bullish, so ride the trend. Sell signals are setting up, but have not been confirmed yet.
Indicators confirm new highs, but stay alert$SPX is making new all-time highs, and the indicators are all bullish. Only an increase in volatility would be worrisome at this point.
Still bullish but dangers are appearingSome short-term negatives are beginning to appear; a sell signal from volatility would mean a correction is beginning.
Breakout signals new bullish leg is beginningNow that SPX has broken out solidly over 2480, a move to 2540 or above should occur over the intermediate-term.
Is the market stuck in yet another trading range?$SPX needs to break out over 2480, lest it drift back into a "trading range" classification.
Bulls back in charge$SPX broke out of recent downtrend, and that should signal higher prices ahead.
Still in correction modeSPX remains in a short-term downtrend. As long as that is the case, the correction will continue.
Correction has more room to goThe market has whipsawed both bulls and bears, but it seems that a test of support at 2400 is in the near-term futures
Correction is underwayThe breakdown below support at 2460 was significant and should produce a test of the 2400 level.
Is it time for a correction?With breadth weakening and SPX reaching our target area, the chances of a correction have increased.
Historically overbought volatility not yet a problem for the marketThe SPX chart remains decidedly bullish, but the overbought condition in volatility could cause some near-term problems.
Still bullish, despite a major overbought conditionAll indicators are on buy signals, but the extremely low levels of $VIX are worrisome.
Still bullishThe failed breakdown of July 6th has led to new highs, and there should be higher prices ahead.
Bears have another chanceThe $SPX close below 2420 was negative, but the bears need a close below 2400 to set off a true market correction.
Both bears and bulls are failures$SPX has not been able to break out of the 2420-2440 range; but watch out when it does.
Even a false breakout can't inspire the bearsSPX remains above support, which makes the intermediate-term outlook bullish
Bulls still hanging in thereAs long as SPX continues to close above 2400, all is well. But a close below there would open the door for the bears.
Bullish, but some short-term concernsSPX remains bullish, as long as it is above 2400, but there are severe overbought conditions to deal with in the short-term.
Upside breakout is confirmedThe recent upside breakout has been confirmed, so expect higher prices unless the 2400 levels is broken for some reason.
New all-time highs, but...Despite new all-time highs, we are seeing sell signals from sentiment-based indicators.
Bears fumbling another chanceThe breakdown this week was brief, and now buy signals are beginning to appear.
Still waiting for a breakoutSPX is trapped within two trading ranges; the next breakout should produce a strong move.
Still waiting on a breakoutStill waiting to SPX to break out of March trading range (2322 - 2401)
Still not all-clear on the upsideUntil SPX can close at new all-time highs, it is technically still in a trading range.
On hold awaiting "Frexit?"The market remains trapped in a trading range, despite a recent increase in volatility.
Volatility breaks outSPX hasn't fallen, but VIX is rising. This is a conundrum that will be resolved by month's end.
Both bulls and bears frustratedBoth the fulls and the bears are frustrated by the SPX trading range
Not an "all clear" yetSPX still needs to overcome resistance to turn the short-term outlook positive
Could this be more than a correction?This is a mild correction, so far. But if $VIX climbs above 13.50, it will be more serious.
Is the "correction" over already?the bears may have already lost their chance for a meaningful correction
A bearish testDespite sell signals, the uptrend remains intact
Minor sell signals, but not a change of trendSome overbought conditions are maturing into short-term sell signals, but this should not interrupt the intermediate-term bullish trend.
Overbought sell signals possible, but not trend-reversingOverbought conditions are growing, but the trend remains upward.
Overbought does NOT mean sellOverbought does NOT mean sell!
New highs are bullishThe trends of SPX and VIX continue to point to higher stock prices.
Waiting for a breakoutSPX is looking to break out of the tight range within which it has been trapped.
Remain bullishSPX still in an uptrend as long as its above support
The market continues to bullishly hold above supportStay bullish as long as support holds for SPX.
NASDAQ outperforming is bullishThe stock market has split into two parts recently. Most of the major averages are moving sideways, but staying within easy range of new all-time highs. The NASDAQ Composite, however, and its smaller companion the NASDAQ-100 ($NDX) have been making new all-time highs frequently. This should be a [...]
The uptrend is intactOverall, the $SPX chart -- which is, by definition, the most important indicator -- remains positive. $SPX did have a pullback at year's end. The subsequent rally off of the 20-day moving average leaves support at 2233 (last Friday's lows). Below that, there is support at 2210 [...]
Bulls may still have some ammo leftThe final analysis on the $SPX chart is that it is still rising, with rising trend lines, and that means that it is still bullish. In the more traditional sense, there is support on the $SPX chart at 2210 and 2090. The equity-only put-call charts remain on buy signals. [...]
Sell signals have appearedFirst and foremost, it must be noted that the chart of $SPX is still in an uptrend. The 20-day moving average is rising, and no major trend lines have been broken. $SPX has rallied so hard and so fast since the election that it is quite a ways above support, [...]
Indicators are still mostly bullishThe bullish juggernaut was finally slowed a bit this week by the Fed's decision to raise interest rates (or at least, that was the excuse for some profit-taking). However, the chart of $SPX remains very strong, and this is a period of highly bullish seasonality. Put-call ratios are remaining [...]
Still moving higherThis has been a very strong week for the stock market. New highs have been registered by all the major indices. Not only have all of these major averages traded at new all-time highs, but these moves have been accompanied by strength from the technical indicators. The [...]
Still bullish -- for now$SPX has struggled this week, but it remains above the rising 20-day moving average, so the $SPX chart is still bullish. There is support at 2180, but the more important support is at 2170. As long as $SPX is above that level, the chart will be bullish. The put-call [...]
New all-time highsAll systems are in bullish modes at this time. $SPX has broken out to new all-time highs, finally catching up to The Dow, Th Russell 2000, the Value Line Composite, and the NASDAQ Composite, which had already done so. There is support in the 2180 area. Equity-only put-call ratios [...]
New highs everywhere but SPXThe bulls had an enjoyable week, although it was not a spectacular one. The post-election rally has held together for the most part, except for a few sectors which are not benefitting from the anticipated "infrastructure boom." $SPX edged to within 8 points of a new all-time yesterday, and the [...]
New highs ahead?Buy signals have abounded in the past week. In Figure 1, I have included Tuesday's night's action (vertical red line), as the market first plunged when it became a distinct possibility that Donald Trump would win the election. This was a very "Brexit-like" response to a surprise vote. I used [...]
BreakdownThe stock market finally succumbed, with $SPX breaking down below the long-term support level at 2120 this week. This completes the certification of "bearish" status for the $SPX chart. Oversold conditions are beginning to appear in great quantity already, even though this decline has been modest so far in terms [...]
Still holding above supportThe chart of $SPX (Standard & Poors 500) continues to have a slightly negative bias to it. There is a clear series of lower highs on the chart. Moreover, the trend line from the January lows has been broken. Equity-only put-call ratios are both technically on sell signals at this [...]
Bulls trying to hold onStocks appear to be struggling a bit, but there hasn't been a decisive breakdown. The $SPX chart shows some negative trend lines, but the important area is support at 2120. As long as that holds, the bulls will remain in charge. Equity-only put-call ratios (Figures 2 and 3) have [...]
Holding tenuously above supportThis week, $SPX finally tried to break down. But support held at or near 2120, reinforcing that as a major support area. So that remains a key level the level at which the $SPX chart would turn bearish, if broken. Equity-only put-call ratios are not buying into the bearish [...]
Awaiting a breakoutStock prices have dampened down into a very narrow trading range again. There is major support at 2120 and major resistance at the old highs (2195). A breakout from those levels would be significant. Equity-only put-call ratios have been declining for the past couple of weeks. The standard [...]
Locked in the trading range again?Stocks have tried to find a catalyst to spur them in one direction or the other, but they have been unable to do so. $SPX is locked into the 2120 - 2195 trading range. A clear breakout in either direction should be respected. The equity-only put-call ratios continue to [...]
Looking better, but...$SPX needs to close above resistance, at a new all-time high in order to confirm the budding bullishness that we are seeing. Other indicators have turned bullish, but we have seen occasions before where $SPX did not confirm, and $SPX was eventually the correct indicator (how can it not [...]
Waiting on the FedRecent selling has pushed $SPX down to the 2120 level, testing and documenting support at that level. If that 2120 area should be breached, then the decline should accelerate once again. On Figure 1, there is also a rising blue trend line. That connects the February lows and the [...]
Breakdown is significant and bearish$SPX had remained in a trading range for nearly two months, but now it has broken support at 2160 and that is significant. The only negative indicators that we had as of yesterday were the equity-only put-call ratios, but the others will join in today. As you can see from Figures [...]
Support continues to holdWith the holiday weekend approaching, and attendance low because of it, the bears took a couple of shots this week at breaking $SPX down below support at 2160. They came close, but they couldn't do it. Thus, the $SPX chart remains positive, with support at 2160. Equity-only put-call ratios [...]
On the brink of a sell signal?This week, $SPX did break down a little bit, violating the 2175 level, which had been the bottom of the tight 2175-2195 trading range that had contained prices for most of this month. But the piercing of minor support at 2175 was not significant. However, a breach of the [...]
Staying bullishStocks continue to trade in a tight, sideways range. This is a situation which will eventually lead to a breakout. Most analysts are bearish because of the low volatility and because of the fact that $SPX is near or at all-time highs. But the important part of [...]
Still bullishNew all-time intraday and closing highs were registered yesterday for $SPX, the NASDAQ Composite, and the Dow- Jones Industrials. Thus the $SPX chart remains bullish as it is clearly in an uptrend, and the moving averages are all rising as well. Equity-only put-call ratios have rolled over to sell [...]
Stay bullishThe market tried to break down this week, as $SPX finallypushed through the lower end of the very tight 2160-2175 trading range that had held it in check since mid-July. However, that feint downward was short-lived, and $SPX crawled right back up into the trading range once again. As [...]
Still in a bull marketThe broad stock market, as measured by $SPX, is locked in a very tight range -- and has been since new all-time highs were reached on July 14th. Overall, though, $SPX remains in a strong uptrend, with support at 2160. Equity-only put-call ratios remain on buy signals, as they [...]
Higher prices aheadStocks continue to plow ahead to new all-time highs on the Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX). This has created some overbought conditions, but as of this time, there are no sell signals in place. $SPX has support at the old breakout level of 2120-2135, so any correction should hold [...]
Overbought does not mean sellAll indicators were in synch this week, as $SPX finally broke out to new all-time highs. The breakout started with a "90% up day" last Friday, which put the Index on the brink of new all- time highs, and it carried through with $SPX higher each day so far [...]
Bulls need to capitalize NOW!The broad stock market has been able to consolidate its strong post-Brexit gains. There was a day and a half of selling this week, but a strong upward reversal by $SPX from 2074 on Wednesday leaves the bulls still in control. However, there is frustration for the bulls, too, because [...]
A quick recovery is bullishStocks had a violent downside reaction to the Brexit vote in Britain. But while the damage was severe, it was short-lived. Over the past four days, a huge rally has emerged that has nearly wiped out the Brexit losses. $SPX is now back inside the 2040-2120 trading range that had [...]
Hotline: oversold conditions will lead to buy signalsThis is an abbreviated issue, since I am out of the country. Today's heavy selling will create oversold conditions, which will eventually lead to buy signals -- but not today.
Trouble is brewingThe market was marching along towards new highs (albeit slowly) when some modest selling was accompanying by a big increase in volatility. The combination now has the market on its heels. $SPX ran into resistance in the "usual" area between 2100 and the all-time highs of 2135. [...]
$SPX struggling to break outThe Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX) is nearing its all-time highs. But the progress has been rather slow, especially in light of the fact that all of our other indicators are on buy signals. As you can tell from Figure 1, there is [...]
More buy signals, but no price confirmationAfter a strong upside breakout last week from the triangle formation, the market has spent this week in a tight range. There has been an improvement in the indicators in general, but the most important indicator -- the price chart of $SPX -- has not really responded. A clear breakdown [...]
Bulls need to prove their point nowThe Standard & Poors Index ($SPX) broke out of the triangle that had formed on its chart (see Figure1), and that breakout was strongly on the upside. The bears had plenty of chances to violate the support at 2040 on a closing basis, but were unable to do so. [...]
Awaiting a breakoutThe chart of $SPX (Figure 1) shows a couple of things. First, the Index is in a downtrend. It has declined more than 80 points from the mid-April highs, at 2110. But the other fact that we can see from the chart is that $SPX still hasn't been [...]
Support still holdingThe Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX) bounced strongly off of support at 2040 last Friday. That level remains strong support, with resistance at 2110. Equity-only put-call ratios rolled over to sell signals last week, and while there was some flirtation with a new buy signal by the standard ratio [...]
On the brink of a breakdownA "stealth" correction has been underway for a couple of weeks. Most people would be mildly surprised to realize that $SPX has fallen more than 60 points from its recent highs near 2110, just over two weeks ago. The decline has been steady and unspectacular, accompanied by few [...]
Indicators are deterioratingThe market's momentum is slowing, but it hasn't necessarily reversed yet. The number of negative breadth days, and their intensity is increasing. The $SPX chart (Figure 1) also shows a waning of momentum, but even the first support level at 2070 has not been broken. Equity-only put-call ratios continue to [...]
Bears can't gain any ground$SPX closed above 2100 this week for the first time since last December. The Index chart remains bullish, with support at 2070 and 2040. There is multitudinous resistance between 2100 and the all-time highs at 2135, but this market hasn't had problems with resistance so far. Equity-only put-call ratios remain on [...]
Bulls remain in chargeA week ago, it seemed that the bears had a chance at taking control. Not only did that not happen, but instead the bulls reasserted themselves strongly. $SPX broke out over resistance at 2070 with a strong move on Wednesday. This chart is bullish, and thus so are we (and you [...]
No sell signal yetStocks are struggling to maintain the stupendous rally that began on February 11th. While there has been a slowing of momentum, the $SPX chart remains in an uptrend for now. The equity-only put-call ratios are both on buy signals, although there was a flirtation with a sell signal from the [...]
Still riding the trendThe rally off the February lows continues to make new relative highs. Thus, the $SPX chart remains bullish. Even the corrections are very small, just enough to alleviate overbought conditions. Equity-only put-call ratios are interesting. The weighted ratio remains on a buy signal, but the standard ratio is [...]
Correction is upon usStocks continued to rally early this week, creating some overbought conditions. Since then, the upward momentum has been lost, as the market is undergoing a short-term correction to work those off. Equity-only put-call ratios remain on buy signals, as they generally have continued to decline. Market breadth has begun to weaken [...]
Bulls still in chargeThe completion of the powerful, bottoming "W" formation at the beginning of March was the launchpad for this leg of the rally. It has more room to run. Equity-only put-call ratios continue to remain on buy signals. The standard chart has seen a slight "wiggle" develop this week, but it [...]
Still more to this rallyWe continue to think that this rally has more room to run on the upside, but that it will eventually give way to the over-riding bear market trendline. Near-term, there is support at 1970 and then at 1950 (the top of the "W"). It seems that the pullback to 1970 [...]
Still more to this rallyThe market has exploded to the upside this week. Some overbought conditions are beginning to appear, but all the indicators are on buy signals right now. The move above 1950 completed a "W" bottoming formation on the $SPX chart, very similar to the one that existed last October. It should [...]
Bullish short termThe bulls scored a major victory this week, by engineering a breakout and close above 1950 on Thursday. That completes the "W" bottoming formation. So for now, the near-term outlook is bullish. Put-call ratios remain bullish. All three of the put-call ratios gave buy signals right at the February [...]
Overhead resistance remainsThe rally has been powerful, but is it just another oversold affair? At this point, we can't really tell. The next resistance area is at 1940-1950, and that's a more crucial point. If $SPX can rise above that level, then it will have formed a "W" on [...]
Support trying to holdThe market broke down through support this week. $SPX retraced all the way to 1810, the January intraday lows. The $SPX chart remains negative, with a downtrend in place and heavy overhead resistance. Conversely, the put-call ratios are becoming bullish. The computer analysis is calling these buy signals, [...]
Is it 2008 All Over Again?Stocks continue to have trouble rallying, but at least support has shown up in the 1870 area of $SPX. If that level is broken on a closing basis, it would mark the end of any short-term rally attempts. Even though both equity-only put-call ratios are on sell signals and pressing [...]
Entering a seasonally bullish weekThe market has finally stabilized to some extent. Even though $SPX had wide swings in the past week, there was a net gain over the past five trading days. There is strong support at 1820 (see Figure 1), because that is where this January's decline halted, and where the declines [...]
Oversold rally underwayStocks remain under extreme pressure, but it finally looks like the oversold conditions are starting to have some effect. An oversold rally is now underway. $SPX bounced off the support level at 1820. That level was also the low of both April and October 2014. In essence, nearly two [...]
Still no confirmed buy signalsThe fall in the price of $SPX has continued, adding to the worst start of any year -- ever. As a result, there are severe oversold conditions, and buy signals are pending on many fronts. But few buy signals have been confirmed, and markets can continue to decline [...]
Hotline: Oversold, but no buy signals yetThe stock market has taken a real beating in the new year. Massive oversold conditions have arisen, and a sharp, but short-lived rally is possible at any time. The larger picture, though, is an intermediate-term bearish one. $SPX has been down-trending since early December, when the first pattern [...]
More trouble ahead, as Santa Claus rally failsThe stock market had been muddling its way through the Santa Claus rally period, and this now looks like it will put the final, negative touches on this seasonally important period. At this time, the chart of $SPX is bearish, with lower highs and lower lows (see Figure 1). [...]
Another $VIX crossover indicator$SPX has now climbed slightly above its declining 20-day moving average, and that is where oversold rallies usually die out. Despite the strength of the last week, $SPX has not even exceeded last week's high, much less the more important peak of early December. It is in a downtrend, [...]
Hotline: Bears still in chargeStock market volatility continues to be above-average. The oversold rally that took place earlier this week seems to have run out of steam. The $SPX chart is now showing lower highs and lower lows. That is a bearish trend developing. It will remain in effect until the most recent [...]
Technical breakdownSo far in December, we've seen volatile $SPX daily moves of +22, -23, -30, +42, followed by a 4-day decline of 75 points. There is resistance at 2100 (the late November peak) and support at and 2020 (the November lows). Equity-only put-call ratios remain bearish, since they continue to rise. [...]
Hotline: awaiting new buy signalsThe $SPX chart now has heavy resistance in the 2080-2100 area, where it spent most of the previous two weeks. The support at 2020 (November lows) is still in place as well, and will likely be tested in the coming days. Both equity-only put-call ratios are on sell signals, and [...]
Are large-caps carrying this market?The market is struggling to maintain the rally that began with an abrupt V-bottom on November 16th. It may be merely an oversold rally. From a larger perspective, $SPX has support at 2020 (the November lows) and resistance at 2120-2135 (the row of highs made in the last year or [...]
Seasonals are bullishThe market is struggling to maintain the rally that began with an abrupt V-bottom on November 16th. It may be merely an oversold rally. From a larger perspective, $SPX has support at 2020 (the November lows) and resistance at 2120-2135 (the row of highs made in the last year or [...]
Hotline: bears last chance?The stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index ($SPX), did a complete about-face this week, despite the terrorist atrocities after the market closed last Friday. The rally has carried back to just above the 20-day moving average. Ultimately, there is resistance from 2115 to 2135, the series of [...]
Seasonal patterns coming into playThe strong bull run that took place throughout October and into early November is over. The break of support at 2070 was negative for $SPX. It could trade down to the 2000-2020 area in the short term. Equity-only put-call ratios have remained on buy signals, even as $SPX has begun [...]
Hotline - short-term bearishThe strong bull run that took place throughout October and into early November is over. The break of support at 2070 was negative for $SPX. It could trade down to the 2000-2020 area in the short term. Equity-only put-call ratios have remained on buy signals, even as $SPX has begun [...]
Hotline: First sell signals appearThe stock market's strong rally has continued for another week, although it's beginning to act a bit tired, and the market is getting overbought. Even so, the $SPX chart is still in an uptrend, and there is support at 2040, 2020 and 2000. Equity-only put-call ratios continue to plunge, and [...]
Hotline - getting overboughtThe stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX), has gained 220 points in a month (since the September 28th lows). After such a strong advance in so short of a time, one would have to say that the market is overbought. Even so, [...]
The indicators remain bullishEarlier this week, it appeared that the rally that began at the end of October was lagging. But then Thursday, the market blew through resistance at 2040 and reaffirmed the bullish case with authority. A violation of the 1990 would remove the "bullish" label from the $SPX chart. Equity-only put-call [...]
Hotline: Bull Case Is Still StrongThe stock market has taken on a much more bullish tone since the late-September lows. We had several buy signals on September 30th, and they were well-timed. The bullish case is still strong, even after $SPX has advanced 150 points this month. The $SPX chart is bullish. $SPX broke out over [...]
Intermediate-term BullishA week ago, we noted that there were three short-term, oversold buy signals. Now, more buy signals are occurring, and these are of the intermediate-term variety. The last hurdle was cleared today, when the $SPX closed above 2000. Equity-only put-call ratios remain on buy signals, as they continue to [...]
Hotline - short-term buy signalsDespite a couple of rough days this week, buy signals have emerged from our short-term oversold indicators, and so we have a more bullish outlook for the short term but not necessarily for the intermediate- term. $SPX has retested the August lows and formed a "W" bottom, so that [...]
Another Fall Seasonal TradeThe $SPX chart remains bearish. During the oversold rally that failed at the 2000 level, an upward trend line had developed on the $SPX chart, connecting the daily lows since the 1870 bottom. That trend line was broken decisively this week, as $SPX fell back below its 20-day moving [...]
Hotline: There Are Still Problems For The MarketNow that the Fed meeting is over, and they didn't raise rates (as we have been predicting), what do we really know? Stocks rallied strongly heading into the announcement, and then there was heavy buying right after the announcement. But the party on Thursday didn't end well, with sell programs [...]
Still bearishStocks continue to remain in bearish trends. There have been some sharp rallies, but none of them has even reached the now-swiftly-declining 20-day moving average. There is heavy resistance at 1990, with support at 1900 and 1860. Below that, the next target would be 1820. Put-call ratios have reached [...]
Hotline: not out of the woods yetSome of the intermediate-term indicators seem ready to capitulate and issue buys, but the overall picture is far from "all clear" at this point. Despite recurring volatility, $SPX has traded in a new range in the last couple of weeks -- 1870 to 1990. There has been a lot of talk in [...]
Buy signals are beginning to appearThe relative calm of the stock market trading in a range for six months was shattered in recent days. As recently as August 18th, all was calm. But beginning with a sharp 17-point drop in $SPX on the 19th, the rout was on. The support area at 1980-2000 [...]
Hotline: bearish breakdown, but oversold conditions existThe market took a beating yesterday, as $SPX finally got in line with the indicators, most of which had turned bearish in the last week or so. $SPX closed just below 2040, which technically is a violation of the previous trading range (2040-2135). However, as you can see from [...]
Is Apple a Buy?It seems that no matter what happens -- technically, fundamentally, or volatility-wise -- $SPX remains trapped in its now-six-month-long trading range. Hence the $SPX chart is neutral. All of the major put-call ratios gave buy signals recently. But now those are beginning to deteriorate, as the market hasn't responded. [...]
Hotline: market still stuck in neutralThe stock market continues to hover in its trading range. Despite some promising buy signals from sentiment extremes in put-call ratios and $VIX, there was no follow-through by the Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX). We have often said -- and still maintain -- that price is the [...]
Hotline: new buy signalsThe chart of $SPX is the least bullish of the indicators. SPX remains in the 2040-2135 trading range that has bound it for most of this year. Basically this is a neutral chart. Put-call ratios are much more encouraging. A strong buy signal has been generated by the standard [...]
$VIX weekly futures begin; an expanded approach to earnings straddles$SPX now appears to failing at the top of the range, thereby remaining within the 2040 - 2135 trading range. Hence, the $SPX chart remains neutral as long as it's in that trading range. Put-call ratios are mixed, but generally are in an oversold state. The standard ratio continues to [...]
Hotline: At the top of the trading rangeThe oversold conditions that existed last week generated a strong week-long rally. The move above 2100 was constructive, but the chart won't really turn bullish until new highs are made and held.That would require a move above 2135. Put buying has remained relatively heavy, despite the rally. As a [...]
Hotline: looking for volatility buy signalsThe $SPX chart is now negative, although not terribly so. $SPX traded down to 2045 a couple of days, and has generally found support in the 2040-2050 area. Overhead, there is resistance at 2080-2085, where most trading days in the last week have topped out. There is a series [...]
Volatility Rises (And Falls)$SPX broke down this week as a confluence of potentially bad international news out of Greece, Puerto Rico, and China combined to strike fear into what had been long-complacent U.S. traders. $SPX has now rallied back above 2070, returning to the previous trading range. From a more bearish viewpoint, though, [...]
HOTLINE - market still trapped in a trading rangeThe stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX) continues to trade in a fairly tight range, which is beginning to frustrate just about everyone. There is support at 2070, and the 2130-2135 area is now strong resistance. As a result, the $SPX chart [...]
Trading range continues to dominateThe Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX) had a few bearish days, but managed to successfully test support near 2070 twice this month. $SPX remains within the trading range of 2070 - 2135. The equity-only put-call ratios continue to generally trend sideways, which makes them neutral. Even though the standard [...]
HOTLINE - Market still in a trading rangeDespite some indications this week that the market might break down, it did not do so. In fact, the Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX) held near the previous support level of 2070, thereby strengthening that level as market support. On the upside, there is resistance at the [...]
Hotline - Still In A Trading RangeNot much has changed in the market in the last week, with one possible exception: was yesterday's breakdown below near-term support significant, or was it just another meandering that will have no follow-through? Based on recent history, it's probably the latter (no follow-through). More than likely, we are [...]
The New Volatility ETFs: VXUP And VXDN$SPX is nearing old highs again, but there hasn't been any improvement in the other technical indicators: put-call ratios are on sell signals (or are sideways, at best), breadth is poor, and only volatility is bullish -- albeit overbought. That isn't the setup for a strong move into all-time new high territory.
Hotline: grinding to a haltEverything is grinding to a halt in this market, and that is probably a sign that an explosive move lies in the not-too-distant future. $SPX has support at the old highs (2120). If that should fail, there should be a good support level at 2070. Equity-only put-call ratios remain on [...]
Refinements on Breadth DivergenceThe broad stock market has continued to frustrate both bulls and bears by remaining within a trading range for quite some time. However, today, $SPX closed at a new all-time high and thus is on the verge of an upside breakout. While this produced much glee on CNBC, [...]
Hotline: technical indicators are weakeningThe stock market weakened considerably this week, and many of the indicators are now following suit with sell signals. But $SPX price action continues to frustrate both bulls and bears, as it refuses to trend higher or lower. So now for $SPX, there is support at 2067 - [...]
Hotline: can the bears take charge?Stocks dawdled at or just above the previous all-time highs, but couldn't convincingly push through with a strong move. As a result, things began to deteriorate. Now, 2070 has some significance. If $SPX breaks down below 2070, a more bearish scenario should unfold. Equity-only put-call ratios are still on [...]
Hotline - $SPX still in a trading rangeThere was some positive action this week, but in the end it's still a trading range market. $SPX moved to the high end of the range almost challenging the all-time highs, but it could not break out on the upside. There has been some improvement in the [...]
Total Put-Call Ratio: Did A Buy Signal Just Occur?The stock market has traded in an ever-narrowing range for over a month now. The most recent range has been bounded by 2090 on the upside and 2050 on the downside. But now $SPX is trying to break through 2090. Even if that is accomplished, there is still considerable overhead resistance at 2110-2120 (the all-time highs).
Option Strategist Hotline: Jobs Report Bad News For Stocks$SPX couldn't develop any momentum this week. Perhaps -- as the media were saying -- stocks were just waiting for the jobs report this morning. It was a very poor jobs report, and S&P futures are down 20 points.
Event-Driven Straddle BuyingWhen $SPX broke down through the 2090 support level, that was a very negative sign, especially since stocks failed at the old highs. There is now strong resistance at 2110-2120 (the February and March peaks), as well as at 2090 (again). As for support, the initial support level will be 2040, [...]
Hotline: Mixed Market SignalsThe $SPX support at 2040 and the resistance at the recent all-time highs of 2120 constitute a trading range. Until $SPX breaks out of that range, it really doesn't have a trend in place. To support that conclusion, the indicators are somewhat mixed. Equity-only put-call ratios have remained on sell signals [...]
The U.S. Dollar And Other ExtremesThe market, as measured by the Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX), had been laboring at new highs, near 2120. Then, last Friday it broke down below support at 2090, which turned the chart bearish. Equity-only put ratios curled upwards late last week and gave confirmed sell signals on both [...]
Option Strategist Hotline - SPX Breaks DownThe market had gone dull after making new all-time highs, but today's breakdown is negative and significant.
More on $VIX CrossoversThe stock market continues to move higher, albeit at a very slow pace. That makes the $SPX chart bullish, of course, and it will remain bullish as long as $SPX holds above support. The highest support level is the 2090-2100 range that $SPX traded in last week. Equity-only [...]
Hotline: Unconvincing Breakout To New Highs$SPX has finally broken out to new all-time highs and has maintained that status by closing above the old highs for four consecutive days. That's the bullish news. The less-than-bullish news is that the breakout is not being confirmed with any resound by some of the other indicators. However, as long as $SPX remains above the 2065 support level, the bulls are in charge.
Seasonal System RecapThe Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX) has finally broken out of the 1990-2065 trading range that had contained it for nearly two months. The breakout was not easily achieved, nor is it uniformly confirmed by all of the other indicators, but it is in place.
Hotline: Awaiting An Upside Breakout?The stock market has had a strong week. Even so, $SPX remains within the general confines of the 1990-2065 trading range, on a closing basis. We still await a breakout from that range in order to establish an intermediate-term trend.
Option Strategist Hotline: Expect Volatility To ContinueMarket volatility has remained high, and we can expect these high levels of volatility to persist. Even with this volatility, the chart of $SPX is still in a trading range. Once again -- for the fifth time this month -- 1990 has proven to be support. To say that 1990 is an important level would be an understatement. If it gives way, a much more bearish situation would develop. On the upside, there is resistance at 2065.
Expect More Volatility Within A Broad Trading RangeThe market is volatile within a trading range. This is a neutral outlook, until $SPX can break out in one direction or the other
Hotline - signals mixed, but expect more volatilityThe stock market has experienced huge moves so far this year far greater than have been seen since the fall of 2011. There has been a lot of back forth action, but the bears seem to be gradually getting the upper hand. Yet, the indicators are mixed [...]
Buy signals appearingThe market has been on a rather wild ride for over a month now. With the action of the last two days, our indicators have swung back to a bullish status, for the most part. The fact that $SPX has now risen back above its 20-day moving average and has [...]
Hotline - $SPX nears a crucial breakdown levelStocks stumbled into year end, with a couple of down days, the second of which was downright nasty. But was this just illiquid, year-end manipulation (as the bulls suggest) or is it something more serious? It's a little early to tell at this point, but if things don't [...]
2015 Forecast IssueThe chart of $SPX has returned to a bullish status, with the breakout to new all-time highs. Even so, put-call ratios remain on sell signals, but that is the only indicator that is bearish right now. Both breadth oscillators are on buy signals. I would prefer to see them more overbought [...]
Hotline: Despite the big rally, the technical picture is mixedIn nearly 45 years of trading, I don't think I've ever seen a market as wild as the one has been this month. Let's review the entire technical picture. First of all, the chart of $SPX has not yet returned to a bullish state. $SPX would have to trade at [...]
Could NASDAQ Make New Highs?Various indicators have been turning bearish since mid-November. But until this week, $SPX itself had not broken down, and since price is "king," that was quite important. However, now $SPX has broken down, as it has fallen below support at 2050. This completes a bearish pattern, and a [...]
Hotline - sell signals beginning to appearThe stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX), sold off for a couple of days and then rebounded quickly to new all-time intraday and closing highs. However, sell signals and overbought conditions abound, so all is not bullish. With $SPX making new all-time highs, its [...]
Hotline - still bullish, but getting overboughtThe stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX) continues to march upward at a dizzying pace. The market is overbought, and if $SPX violates support at 2060, we could finally see a correction. Equity-only put-call ratios remain on buy signals. You can see from Figures [...]
Hotline - still bullishThe stock market advance is relentless. It has refused to correct for more than a day since bottoming over a month ago and over 230 points lower. The chart of $SPX is bullish because it remains in an uptrend. Equity-only put-call ratios remain on buy signals, as [...]
More Seasonal PatternsIt has been a great stock market rally, with $SPX advancing 200 points in about a month. But the advance is slowing, and sell signals are setting up (although none has actually been confirmed yet). $SPX has minor support at 2030 and also below there, at 2000.
Option Strategist Hotline: First Sell Signal On The HorizonThe rally continues to push to new all-time highs in most of the major broad-based indices ($SPX, $OEX, Dow, etc.). The advance has been so straight and fast that it hasn't left any support levels in its wake. The only one was at 2001, so a pullback below 2000 would be negative.
Hotline: take partial profits nowThe rally has been a straight-up affair, leaving a "V" bottom in its wake. Fortunately, our indicators have generated a strong series of buy signals along the way.
Our Systems Are Generating Many Buy SignalsThe stock market has rocketed back from a sharp selloff last week. At first, this appeared to be an oversold rally, but now it is picking up steam. Thus, it appears that it could be another intermediate-term bullish move, if one final thing falls into place.
Option Strategist Hotline: Oversold Conditions AboundStocks have had a rocky week, but some buy signals are beginning to appear.
October: Here We Go Again!The stock market has become extremely volatile, trading up and down hundreds of Dow Jones points in a day. But our indicators have remained steadfastly bearish throughout the last few weeks.
Hotline: Due For An Oversold BounceThe stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX) has broken down badly this week. The decline accelerated after breaking through minor support at 1965. The $SPX chart is now in a downtrend.
Volatility Increases, Finally$SPX broke below the bottom of the previous trading range). That is, $SPX closed well below the previous support in the 1978-1985 area. If it can close below 1978 again today, that would confirm the downside breakout and would generate a confirmed sell signal for the intermediate-term. Equity-only put-call [...]
Hotline: market on verge of a bullish breakoutEarly this week, $SPX closed at a new relative low, and many of the indicators appeared to be turning bearish (for example, $VIX closed above 14). However, prices have rallied since then, and $SPX made a marginal new all-time high today -- both intraday and closing. Is this [...]
Historical Volatility Historically LowThe Standard & Poors 500 Index ($SPX) has made repeated new all-time highs -- both intraday and closing -- over the past three weeks. This action has, of course, resulted in a "bullish" $SPX chart.
Market is acting tiredThe bullish news is that $SPX has made a new all-time intraday high for the last three days in a row. The not-so-bullish news is that $SPX has failed to close at a new all-time on any of those days. This is the action of a tired market. [...]
Option Strategist Hotline: Bullish signals abound$SPX broke out to new all-time intraday and closing highs this week. New all-time closing highs were made on 4 of 5 consecutive days, which confirmed the move, so the $SPX chart is bullish once again. Equity-only put-call ratios [...]
Another Successful VIX Spike Peak Buy SignalAll of the indicators have swiftly swung back to "bullish" except for the put-call ratios. A consecutive close at new highs will make the intermediate-term outlook bullish once again.
Option Stategist Hotline: The Bears Still Have A ChanceAfter an ugly day on Thursday, August 7, followed by a further decline of 13 $SPX points during the overnight session, stocks have rallied steadily. Most observers are saying that the correction is over and that the bulls are back in charge. That may be true, but the evidence is not completely in favor of the bulls, yet.
Should One Buy An Oversold Market?The $SPX chart remains bearish after having broken down through 1950. $SPX sliced right through the next support level at 1925, and after temporarily holding at 1915, appears ready to test the major support level at 1900. Equity-only put-call ratios remain on sell signals (see Figures 2 & 3). They are [...]
SPX Breakdown changes outlook to bearishThe genie is now out of the bottle, and it's going to be very hard to put him back in again. $SPX has broken major support at 1950, and that changes things: the chart of $SPX is no longer bullish; it is now bearish. Equity-only put-call charts continue to remain on [...]
Is Breadth Giving A Warning Signal?Despite new all-time highs by $SPX, some sell signals are still lingering.
The Option Strategist Hotline, July 17, 2014An overbought, somewhat nervous market can react to tragic news dramatically, and it did. So what is the real overall effect?
Hedging With Volatility OptionsFor the first time in a while, some sell signals are beginning to creep into our indicators, and the broad stock market is selling off.
The Option Strategist Hotline, July 3, 2014The intermediate-term trend remains bullish, as all but one indicator are on buy signals. The overbought conditions might produce a sharp, but short-lived market correction at any time.
A New Seasonal SystemInvestors beware: bearish signal flashing.
Bullish Indicators Firing On All CylindersNothing seems to be able to derail this bullish market.
Keyne's Was RightThe Keynesian policies pursued by the Fed have clearly had an influence on the current market.
Outlook Bullish Despite Overbought ConditionsIf there were any doubts about the validity of the breakout to new all-time highs, they should be satisfied by now.
Sell In May And Go Away...Or Don't'Sell in May and go away' is just a rule of thumb and not a strict performance guide, year in and year out.
Volatility Index CrossoversThe general idea behind Volatility Index is that $VIX will only rise above $VXV when the market is suffering some severe selling. What's happening now?
Breadth Buy Signal UpdatedRecently, the difference between the two breadth oscillators that we follow moved to a rare, extreme differential. Buy signals were generated shortly after that.
Conflicting Market Signals, So Now What?Two weeks ago, as the market turned downward, a strong sell signal was generated by the "modified Bollinger Band" system. Last week, when there was a strong reflex rally, we received a $VIX "spike peak" buy signal. That system, too, is a powerful system usually. So which one is right?
Coinciding SignalsWhen one is using technical systems for trading, it seems logical to expect that when two or more systems are giving similar signals, the result should be better than when a lone system is generating a signal. But does an analysis of the results confirm that fact?
What Does It Mean When $VXST Crosses Above $VIX?Eventually, volatility will increase, and $VXST will cross above $VIX. What implications does that have for stock prices and volatility?
Short-Term $VIX Futures Begin Trading, Here's Why It MattersDepending on liquidity, these Short-Term $VIX futures (and later, the options) should be a viable hedging opportunity for those wishing to protect a portfolio of stocks.

Some Perspective On 'Overbought'One of our signature sayings is 'Overbought does not mean sell.' But what does it mean?
Synthetic Stock VariationsThese option strategies are almost like owning the underlying stock.
When Is Trading Stock Superior To Buying Options?The common perception among option traders is that option buying is the "best" approach to a speculative situation because of the great leverage that the calls or puts provide. But in many cases, one may be better served by trading the underlying entity than by buying options. So which is better?
Two Long-Term Indicators Flash Warning SignsTwo indicators that we have only briefly discussed in the past are now at an overbought state. Since each has merit, it was decided that a study should be done on the data to see if there was some usefulness other than just yet another overbought indicator.
Getting Very Overbought, AgainHere's how to best trade current overbought conditions.
Why Is Everyone Bad-Mouthing $VIX?There are always critics sniping at $VIX, but recently, the criticism has grown much larger and is coming from the center of the investment landscape. I throw my hat into the debate.
Volatility SpeaksWith the stock market collapsing recently, option implied volatility spiked higher in a large number of markets. Of course, actual (historical) volatility has increased as well, but it is implied volatility that reflects more of the panic mood of the public, and thus is the one that can be used as a contrary indicator.
Everything's Getting Hit: Stocks, Bonds, And The DollarThe U.S. dollar almost always moves opposite to bonds. Not so over the last few weeks. What does it mean?
