Vood:

COT data released yesterday, indicating more selling in the future:

From the Tuesday OptionInvestor newsletter:
"CBOT Commitment Of Traders Report: Monday 11/27
Weekly COT report discloses positions held by small specs
and commercial traders of index futures contracts on the
Chicago Board Of Trade. Small specs are the general trading
public with commercials being financial institutions.
Commercials are historically on the correct side of future
trend changes while small specs are not. Extreme divergence
between each signals a possible market turn in favor of the
commercial trader’s direction.

What COT Data Tells Us: Commercial positions in S&P 500 remain at
their ten-year extreme short levels with the disparity between
Small Specs and Commercials increasing.

Small specs have now gone to a net-short position on the DOW. Data
compiled as of Tuesday 11/21 by the CFTC."

Are you still holding your QQQ short?
