Bearish Indicators Abound

Short-Term Technical Indicators – All but one of the short-term technical indicators are bearish as a result of yesterday’s sell-off. And the only bullish indicator, the NASDAQ 15-Day Stochastic, is hanging on by the skin of its teeth with a value of 81.80 (the indicator turns bearish when the value crosses from above 80 to below 80).

Long-Term Market Model – Bullish since August 23rd.

Investor Sentiment – The VIX jumped nearly 15% yesterday with the CBOE Volatility Index for the S&P 500 closing over 24% higher than its 52-week low of 9.90, reached just last week.

Asset Allocation – 100% invested within the actively-managed, alpha producing portion of the overall portable alpha portfolio.
