Psy i state again this is the absolutely the worst place to take a sentiment study.Stick with the scientific polling.
Polling SI threads are not a cross section in any way.
BTW, i have seen over past 2.5 plus years people walk off and go long because of a bearish SI thread and then get toasted, because they think they found a good source of an easy way to make contrarian measures. Max

Sentiment is still quite bullish according to this:

indexsentiment.com

I have started a thread called "Investor Sentiment" but not many takers yet. Anybody with an interest in sentiment would be appreciated - the aim is to find ways and sources of measuring sentiment that can be used as a contrarian signal.

If the market drops from the beginning this AM, it will have broken the .618 re-trace from Friday's lows to this week's highs on the NDX (1196) and the COMP (1492). When this happens, a re-test of the lows is normally the next step (although when we broke through the gap from Monday, it was a given anyway).

The top of the gap at COMP 1523 could be a bit of resistance, and the 1526 area was a range of congestion previously. Watch that if we get an oversold bounce today off support at COMP 1492 or yesterday's close.
