A fork in the road sentiment-wise. 1)Money Market levels have hit a new 52 week low. This is obviously BEARISH as a stand alone indicator. The dramatic 1 day drop in TA - over 400 million no less that got redeployed... Where did the money go? The plain vanilla net long and net short funds total assets both actually decreased. It went exclusively into sector funds. I will have to call trading again tomorrow to confirm there is no error in this money market number. 2)Both the regular and dynamic SPX Long/Short Funds TA gap has narrowed tremendously in the past week. Compare the ratios today to the first few trading days in February and you see critical difference in the spread contraction. BULLISH. 3)NDX Long OTC is now less than 100 million TA from a new 52 week low. The 20%+ 2,001 tech rally has been derailed back to breakeven and after last weeks bloodbath, they are screaming to get out for safer pastures. BULLISH. **************************************************** Now I am going to switch from Rydex to the DOW/BKX market. I state unequivocably that the DOW is going to set a new high at DOW 11,900+ before people know what has happened. I have also stated BKX strength is going to lead and move in tandem with the DOW. I thought we would get one more move back to this BKX 898-902 level intraday test one last time before take-off. While this is still a possibility, it is becoming a more remote chance by the day. BKX 1,000+ is only a stones throw away. I see BKX 1,200 as not out of the realm of possiblity intraday high test sometime in late March. The BKX read has always been the MITA specialty and nobody has called it better going back to BKX 780 ad nauseum:siliconinvestor.com Today we closed at BKX 944.68 up 14 points. The monthly charts scream break-out:stockcharts.com [l,a]mahlyymy[p][vc60][iUb14!La12,26,9] Here is a plain vanilla monthly roundabout courtesy of wolanchuk.com village2000.com This weekly chart shows we have been in this defined trading range for more than 3 years: siliconinvestor.com The daily chart show the 5 day rsi at a paltry 56.92 and we are less than 24 points from an all time high BKX 968.16 set on January 30th. charts-d.quote.com :443/982044356130?User=demo&Pswd=demo&DataType=GIF&Symbol=INDEX:BKX.X&Interval=D&Ht=400&Wd=600&Display=0&Study=RSI&Param1=5&Param2=&Param3=&FontSize=10&BgColor=0.255.0&TBgColor=0.255.0 The 60 minute chart with OBV:charts-d.quote.com :443/982045023640?User=demo&Pswd=demo&DataType=GIF&Symbol=INDEX:BKX.X&Interval=60&Ht=400&Wd=600&Display=0&Study=OBV&Param1=&Param2=&Param3=&FontSize=10&BgColor=0.255.0&TBgColor=0.255.0 First target BKX 1,020 intraday high by Thursday close.
