Good point Nancy. I think the market has more profit taking ahead but the put to call ratio is better than 50/50 at indicating the market should advance soon when it closes over 1.0 even on option expiration days.

Better than 50/50 is not all that reliable though is it.

I'm holding off for a big spike on the VIX and VXN that will stretch them 10% above their respective 10 day sma's.

That is a highly reliable indicator of a short term bottom.

One good thing showing up for those long is that this chart here shows the NASDAQ as oversold:

Getting a bit more so today. My ultimate target bottom is 1980 for this bout of profit taking.
