We came in long the Nasdaq and the Russell, and short the S&Ps. There are definite crosscurrents at hand. The monthly bias has been up, but should now be flipping to the downside. The weekly indicators are largely saying "well, maybe not quite just yet." We're evidently not in a home run mode at the momentâ€"just continuing to hope that the numbers game breaks us out somewhat in the positive direction.
The Biases
Hold all positions. Short mini S&P. Long mini Nasdaq and mini Russell.
The bottom two rows determine the signal. Dynamic Day One trumps everythingâ€"you always follow it. When it's neutral, the Monthly Perpetual provides the direction.
