Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report – Summary

Any bearish behavior along the near-term cycle should be viewed as a mere bearish spurt, as evidence suggests the stock market is overbought. If the impending correction does not fall below NTI Green, the bull should regain dominance.

Contrarian ETF#14-TLT received a buy signal today. This contradicts bullish bias. It may be a short-lived hold. If stock market bullishness wanes, this fund may do okay, but not expected to be exhilarating. If the stock market becomes bullish, this fund will receive a sell signal and it would not be surprising for it to fall to QTI Yellow. Much depends on political behavior. If socialism is perceived as popular, the stock market bull will struggle and this ETF would be exhilarating. Positive earnings are not that important right now. Keep in mind, February is usually unexciting as it follows state of union speech and related on-going threats to capital markets.

Index Report Card Summary

The Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears. Click this sentence to see table leading to the charts.

The Near-term Indicant is signaling bull for all eleven non-contrarian indices. They are up by an average of 4.6% since their bull signals an average of 5.6-weeks ago, annualizing at 42.3%. The lone near-term bear, contrarian VIX, is down 36.6% since its bear signal 9.0-weeks ago.

The Quick-term Indicant signaled no new bull and no new bears.

The eleven Quick-term bulls are up by an average of 4.7% since their bull signals an average of 5.9-weeks ago, annualizing at 41.4%. Contrarian VIX is the lone Quick-term bear. It is down 36.6% since its bear signal on Nov 29, 2011.

Indicant Volume Indicators

You will notice a mild movement to the north in recent days. Most of this cycle parallels bullish configurations, while not necessarily correlating with stock market bullishness. The current bullish near-term cycle originated with very low volume. That is okay, but not the preferred birth choice.

Jan 31-Tue-Average volume on mild behavior is steady and consistent with expectations of a pausing stock market.

Jan 30-Mon-Low volume on intraday volatility with a bullish spiral concluding with mild bearishness is non-bearish along the short-term cycle, but with near-term cooling possible.

Short-term ETF Report Card, Status, and Charts

The Near-term Indicant generated one buy signal and no sell signals.

The Near-term Indicant is signaling hold for 29-ETF’s. They are up by an average of 5.3% since their buy signals an average of 5.2-weeks ago, annualizing at 52.9%.

The NTI is avoiding two-ETF’s. They are down by an average of 25.2% since their sell signals an average of 7.2-weeks ago.

The Quick-term Indicant generated no buy signals and no sell signals.

The Quick-term Indicant is signaling hold for 29-ETF’s. They are up by an average of 6.0% since their buy signals an average of 6.7-weeks ago. This annualizes at 46.6%.

The Quick-term Indicant is avoiding two-ETFs. They are down by an average of 25.2% since their QTI sell signals an average of 7.2-weeks ago.

Contrarian Funds

ETF#03-Natural Resources. The Quick-term Indicant and Near-term Indicant signaled buy on Jan 3, 2012. It crossed above NTI Blue with Force Vector support for additional bullishness. It is down 0.5% since then. Force dropped into bearish domains today, threatening the hold signal. Set stop loss at just below NTI Green of $68.46.

ETF#11-Gold and Precious Metals received a buy signal from both the Near-term and Quick-term models on Jan 5, 2012. Price climbed above NTI Blue and Force climbed into bullish domains. It is up 7.3% since those buy signals, annualizing at 101.2%. Force is oscillating in bullish domains, which is bullish. Force is at a cyclical max, so do not be surprised at non-bullishness or simple pausing.

Click this sentence for additional charting and current forecasting of the actual price of gold. As the U.S. dollar strengthens, gold is in trouble along the short-term cycle. However, it is again ignoring all made man objects, both physical and abstract, in favor of a universal production, as gold was derived from meteorites and a lot more difficult to produce than paper money. Of course, it is more valuable and increasingly so.

ETF#14-TLT-Long Government received buy signals from the Near-term Indicant and Quick-term Indicant today. Price is greater than NTI Blue and Force crossed into bullish domains and it is above Pressure. The overall stock market is bullish and not supportive of this buy. However, with stock market pausing, there could be a bullish spurt or two for this fund. If the stock market moves with dynamic bullishness in the next few weeks, this fund will receive a sell signal and will most likely fall to QTI Yellow.

ETF#31-QID received sell signals from both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant on Dec 23, 2011, as Force crossed below Pressure and into bearish domains. It is down 14.6% since those sell signals. Force is increasing, which offers some bullish hope for this ETF, but recent stock market bullish attributes are strengthening and not friendly to expectations of contrarian bullishness.

The Quick-term and Near-term Indicant signaled sell on Nov 30, 2011 for ETF#32-VXX. It is down 35.8% since those sell signals. Weak Force is bearish, while this fund has some room for a bullish spurt, but nowhere configured for buying and holding.

Major ETF Events

Jan 31-Tue-Contrarian ETF#14-TLT received a buy signal today, contradicting stock market bullishness.

Jan 30-Mon-There were no major events.

Current Strategy-Short-term Indicant-Jan 31, 2012-As stated for several days, stock market Force Vectors continue flattening with some accelerating in bullish domains, adding to bullish potential. Contrarian VIX is poised for a bullish bounce that counters bullish bias, but non-threatening to the bullish bias. There is some evidence of overbought conditions. Any bearishness along the near-term horizon should be considered as a temporary bearish spurt.

Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report – Summary

Despite mild bearishness this Friday, comments below remain the same as this past Thursday.

Although not yet robust, both Indicant Volume Indicators are again shifting north, offering potential for increasing stock market interest. This could be inspirational to both bull and bear, but current configurations favor the bull. Of course that can change, but it is what it is right now.

The remainder of this section remains the same from last Monday.

The stock market bull is gaining momentum along the short-term cycle, but without significant volume support. Although not dynamically stimulating, a bull is a bull and to be enjoyed.

Bearish unanimity exists with pure contrarians indices and ETF’s are enduring avoid signals. Bullish unanimity also exists as all non-contrarians are appropriately enjoying bull or hold signals.

The stock market bull remains without volume support. That is okay, but will eventually be required for a dynamic bull.

Near-term, Quick-term, Short-term Indicant Stock Market Details

Index Report Card Summary

The Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears. Click this sentence to see table leading to the charts.

The Near-term Indicant is signaling bull for all eleven non-contrarian indices. They are up by an average of 4.8% since their bull signals an average of 5.0-weeks ago, annualizing at 49.9%. The lone near-term bear, contrarian VIX, is down 39.5% since its bear signal 8.4-weeks ago.

The Quick-term Indicant signaled no new bull and no new bears.

The eleven Quick-term bulls are up by an average of 4.9% since their bull signals an average of 5.3-weeks ago, annualizing at 48.5%. Contrarian VIX is the lone Quick-term bear. It is down 39.5% since its bear signal on Nov 29, 2011.

Indicant Volume Indicators

No changes to this paragraph for several weeks. Both IVI’s sloped downward on recent bullishness, which suggests a lack of bullish inspiration. This is troubling. Adding to that concern is the NASDAQ’s IVI falling into low interest domains during the most recent near-term bull cycle. The NYSE did the same in early November 2011. Some of that, however, was due to seasonally depressed volume. Volume is past a standard minimum, suggesting increased volume support for prevailing bias. You will notice a mild movement to the north in recent days.

Jan 27-Fri-Low volume on mild bearishness does not scare the stock market bull.

Jan 26-Thu-Increasing volume on mild bearish behavior suggests increased stock market interest while not obviating directional intensity at this time.

Jan 25-Wed-Relative to recent history, volume was up on bullish behavior, adding support for prevailing bullish bias.

Jan 24-Tue-Light volume during this stock market pause is not disrupting bullish bias.

Jan 23-Mon-Volume was a bit depressed on mild volume in support of the stock market bull. Remember, configurations support a pause and mild bearishness lends good support for that thesis.

Jan 24-Tue-Still moving through a pausing phase.

Jan 23-Mon-None.

Current Strategy-Short-term Indicant-Jan 26, 2012-As stated for several days, stock market Force Vectors continue flattening with some accelerating in bullish domains, adding to bullish potential.

Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report – Summary

The DJU’s configuration is souring a bit along the short-term cycle. Force continues moving laterally in bearish domains and it is approaching NTI Green. This is the only index that has held up in the face of bearish threats in the past year along the mid-term cycle. Although it has been a sloppy bull, it has been consistently bullish along the mid-term cycle. As you recall, this index was the last to fall ahead of the 2008 crash and it was the strongest bull in the 2003-2007 bull leg. Although the threat is a minor one, it is worthy to mention and keep an eye on it. Currently, it is configured with money rotation. If the money does not chase it back up, the short-term bull cycle will endure a new threat.

The remainder of this section remains the same as yesterday.

The stock market bull is gaining momentum along the short-term cycle, but without significant volume support. Although not dynamically stimulating, a bull is a bull and to be enjoyed.

Bearish unanimity exists with pure contrarians indices and ETF’s are enduring avoid signals. Bullish unanimity also exists as all non-contrarians are appropriately enjoying bull or hold signals.

Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report – Summary

The stock market bull is gaining momentum along the short-term cycle, but without significant volume support. Although not dynamically stimulating, a bull is a bull and to be enjoyed.

Bearish unanimity exists with pure contrarians indices and ETF’s are enduring avoid signals. Bullish unanimity also exists as all non-contrarians are appropriately enjoying bull or hold signals.

The stock market bull remains without volume support. That is okay, but will eventually be required for a dynamic bull.

Bearish unanimity also exists with pure contrarians indices and ETF’s are enduring avoid signals.

This is bullish along the short-term cycle. The weekly report will document the Mid-term Indicant is also nearing bullish unanimity.

Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report – Summary

The stock market bull is gaining momentum, but without significant volume support, along the short-term cycle. Although not dynamically stimulating, a bull is a bull and to be enjoyed.

International funds continue improving. The strength of this bullish cycle will become more apparent in the next few weeks. If QTI Yellow acts as a lid against bullish behavior, the stock market bear will resume its pestering and enhance its potential dominance. If international funds pass above QTI Yellow with minimal resistance, the bear will expire its potential to pester. There is increasing evidence that QTI will not be a lid to bullish movements.

As stated the past several days, the stock market bull and bear still lack desired unanimity, but the bull holds an advantage to gaining that before the bear.

Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report – Summary

Much of this is the same as this past Thursday.

ETF#03-XLE is threatening hold its hold signal. It is possible for an energy bear to coexist with a stock market bull. That is why it is classified as contrarian. That, however, is unlikely, but current configurations remind of the possibility. The mid-term cycle is shifting a bit in favor of the petro bull. It was bullish this Tuesday, however.

ETF#10-IBB-Biotech is skyrocketing. Such behavior disgusts the stock market bear. A dynamic bear cannot garnish enough energy with this sort of behavior in this sector. This ETF has led past bullish rallies. Do not be surprised at some stalling, but certainly non-bearish along the short-term cycle.

ETF#20-EEM crossed above Yellow and finally crossed above NTI Blue this past Thursday, justifying the short-term buy signal. It closed down slightly this past Friday. International ETF’s are configured with bullish unanimity.

As stated last Wednesday, the VIX Force Vector cycle appears to be bottoming. That offers a short-term bearish threat to the stock market. So far, the cycle relates to mere stock market pausing, as opposed to a significant short-term bearish cycle. Interestingly, this ETN was bullish along with the S&P500 index and thus not contrarian today.

ETF#08-EFA Force Vectors shifted bullishly last Wednesday, minimizing potential of selling.

Overall configurations continue nudging in favor of the stock market bull. Foreign markets are now adding mild support to the stock market bull, while remaining in somewhat of a precarious configuration.

The stock market bull and bear still lack desired unanimity, but the bull holds an advantage to gaining that before the bear.

Index Report Card Summary

The Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears. Click this sentence to see table leading to the charts.

The Near-term Indicant is signaling bull for all eleven non-contrarian indices. They are up by an average of 2.5% since their bull signals an average of 3.6-weeks ago, annualizing at 35.8%. The lone near-term bear, contrarian VIX, is down 27.5% since its bear signal 7.0-weeks ago.

The Quick-term Indicant signaled no new bull and no new bears.

The eleven Quick-term bulls are up by an average of 2.6% since their bull signals an average of 3.9-weeks ago, annualizing at 34.8%. Contrarian VIX is the lone Quick-term bear. It is down 27.5% since its bear signal on Nov 29, 2011.

Indicant Volume Indicators

No changes to this paragraph for several weeks. Both IVI’s sloped downward on recent bullishness, which suggests a lack of bullish inspiration. This is troubling. Adding to that concern is the NASDAQ’s IVI falling into low interest domains during the most recent near-term bull cycle. The NYSE did the same in early November 2011. Some of that, however, was due to seasonally depressed volume. Recent bearish behavior has been more supported with volume than recent bullish behavior. Until new relationships manifest, it is what it is.

Jan 17-Fri-Volume was slightly above recent averages on mild bullishness, but up more on late day bearishness. Too weak of a relationship for obviations of directional intensity.

Short-term ETF Report Card, Status, and Charts

The Near-term Indicant generated no buy signals and no sell signals.

The Near-term Indicant is signaling hold for 30-ETF’s. They are up by an average of 2.4% since their buy signals an average of 3.3-weeks ago, annualizing at 38.2%.

The NTI is avoiding two-ETF’s. They are down by an average of 17.2% since their sell signals an average of 8.5-weeks ago.

The Quick-term Indicant generated no buy signals and no sell signals.

The Quick-term Indicant is signaling hold for 27-ETF’s. They are up by an average of 3.7% since their buy signals an average of 5.3-weeks ago. This annualizes at 36.5%.

The Quick-term Indicant is avoiding five-ETFs. They are down by an average of 6.7% since their QTI sell signals an average of 7.8-weeks ago.

Contrarian Funds

ETF#03-Natural Resources. The Quick-term Indicant and Near-term Indicant signaled buy on Jan 3, 2012. It crossed above NTI Blue with Force Vector support for additional bullishness. It is down 1.6% since then. Force was healthy in support of hold, but now moving bearishly. The Mid-term Indicant is somewhat bullish for this sector and was mildly bullish today.

ETF#14-TLT-Long Government received buy signals from the Near-term Indicant and Quick-term Indicant on Dec 14, 2011. Short-term attributes shifted in support of TLT’s bullishness. It is up 0.1% since those buy signals, annualizing at 0.7%. The dollar is expected to continue strengthening and this ETF tends to parallel that. Unfortunately, a stock market bull, which is threatening, will inspire TLT bearishness. It is nearing NTI Green, where a sell signal will be triggered if Force remains in bearish domains. This contrarian ETF is having difficulty along the same plane the stock market is having.

ETF#31-QID received sell signals from both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant on Dec 23, 2011, as Force crossed below Pressure and into bearish domains. It is down 9.0% since those sell signals. Force is increasing, which offers some bullish hope for this ETF, but recent stock market bullish attributes are strengthening and not friendly to expectations of contrarian bullishness.

The Quick-term and Near-term Indicant signaled sell on Nov 30, 2011 for ETF#32-VXX. It is down 25.3% since those sell signals. Its Force Vector has shifted back to the north, but not yet threateing the avoid signal.

Major ETF Events

Jan 17-Tue-Strong bullishness early Tuesday was followed with bearish afternoon behavior, suggesting bull/bear battle is continuing.

Current Strategy-Short-term Indicant-Jan 17, 2012-Stock market Force Vectors are flattening with some accelerating in bullish domains, adding to bullish potential. However, do not be surprised at a stock market pause until the VIX potential bullish Force cycle starts and expires. It continues to rise.

Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report – Summary

Much of this is the same as this past Thursday.

ETF#03-XLE is threatening its hold signal. It is possible for an energy bear to coexist with a stock market bull. That is why it is classified as contrarian. That, however, is unlikely, but current configurations remind of the possibility. The mid-term cycle is shifting a bit in favor of the petro bull. That has delayed a sell signal for this ETF until next week if bearish attributes strengthen along the short-term cycle.

ETF#08-EFA Force Vectors shifted bullishly last Wednesday, minimizing potential of selling.

The stock market bull and bear still lack desired unanimity, but the bull holds an advantage to gaining that before the bear.

Index Report Card Summary

The Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears. Click this sentence to see table leading to the charts.

The Near-term Indicant is signaling bull for all eleven non-contrarian indices. They are up by an average of 2.1% since their bull signals an average of 3.0-weeks ago, annualizing at 36.0%. The lone near-term bear, contrarian VIX, is down 31.8% since its bear signal 6.4-weeks ago.

The Quick-term Indicant signaled no new bull and no new bears.

The eleven Quick-term bulls are up by an average of 2.2% since their bull signals an average of 3.3-weeks ago, annualizing at 34.9%. Contrarian VIX is the lone Quick-term bear. It is down 31.8% since its bear signal on Nov 29, 2011.

Indicant Volume Indicators

No changes to this paragraph for several weeks. Both IVI’s sloped downward on recent bullishness, which suggests a lack of bullish inspiration. This is troubling. Adding to that concern is the NASDAQ’s IVI falling into low interest domains during the most recent near-term bull cycle. The NYSE did the same in early November 2011. Some of that, however, was due to seasonally depressed volume. Recent bearish behavior has been more supported with volume than recent bullish behavior. Until new relationships manifest, it is what it is.

Jan 13-Fri-Low volume on mild bearishness with European downgrades suggests the stock market already baked in that sort of news.

Jan 12-Thu-Flat market behavior on flat volume is non-descriptive.

Jan 11-Wed-Volume was down slightly on mixed stock market behavior. That offers little to interpret.

Jan 10-Tue-Volume was up a bit on mild bullishness. The key point is that the Indicant Volume Indicator is at a lethargic minimum, suggesting increasing interest in the stock market. It will be interesting to see if this will trigger more selling or increase demand for stocks.

Jan 9-Mon-Again, volume expresses very little stock market interest. It is not primed for dynamic behavior in either direction.

Short-term ETF Report Card, Status, and Charts

The Near-term Indicant generated no buy signals and no sell signals.

The Near-term Indicant is signaling hold for 30-ETF’s. They are up by an average of 1.9% since their buy signals an average of 2.7-weeks ago, annualizing at 37.1%.

The NTI is avoiding two-ETF’s. They are down by an average of 16.0% since their sell signals an average of 7.1-weeks ago.

The Quick-term Indicant generated no buy signals and no sell signals.

The Quick-term Indicant is signaling hold for 27-ETF’s. They are up by an average of 3.3% since their buy signals an average of 4.7-weeks ago. This annualizes at 35.9%.

The Quick-term Indicant is avoiding five-ETFs. They are down by an average of 6.7% since their QTI sell signals an average of 7.2-weeks ago.

Contrarian Funds

ETF#03-Natural Resources. The Quick-term Indicant and Near-term Indicant signaled buy on Jan 3, 2012. It crossed above NTI Blue with Force Vector support for additional bullishness. It is down 2.3% since then. Force was healthy in support of hold, but now moving bearishly. The Mid-term Indicant is somewhat bullish for this sector and a sell signal will be delayed until next week if attributes continue to sour in favor of the petro bear.

ETF#14-TLT-Long Government received buy signals from the Near-term Indicant and Quick-term Indicant on Dec 14, 2011. Short-term attributes shifted in support of TLT’s bullishness. It is down 0.4% since those buy signals. The dollar is expected to continue strengthening and this ETF tends to parallel that. Unfortunately, a stock market bull, which is threatening, will inspire TLT bearishness. It is nearing NTI Green, where a sell signal will be triggered if Force remains in bearish domains. This contrarian ETF is having difficulty along the same plane the stock market is having.

ETF#31-QID received sell signals from both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant on Dec 23, 2011, as Force crossed below Pressure and into bearish domains. It is down 7.4% since those sell signals. Force is increasing, which offers some bullish hope for this ETF, but recent stock market bullish attributes are strengthening and not friendly to expectations of contrarian bullishness.

The Quick-term and Near-term Indicant signaled sell on Nov 30, 2011 for ETF#32-VXX. It is down 24.7% since those sell signals. Its Force Vector has shifted back to the north, but not yet threateing the avoid signal.

Major ETF Events

Jan 13-Fri-There were no major events.

Jan 12-Thu-One more international ETF qualified for short-term buying. It will be interesting if it can hold. If it does, that will be bullish for the overall stock market.

Jan 11-Wed-VIX Force appears to be bottoming, favoring its non-bearishness and the stock market’s non-bullishness.

Jan 10-Tue-Two international ETF’s received buy signals today by the Near-term Indicant and one of the same received a buy signal from the Quick-term Indicant. They crossed above NTI Blue and one of them even crossed above QTI Yellow.

Jan 9-Mon-There were no major events.

Current Strategy-Short-term Indicant-Jan 13, 2012-Stock market Force Vectors are flattening with some accelerating in bullish domains, adding to bullish potential. However, do not be surprised at a stock market pause until the VIX potential bullish Force cycle starts and expires. It continues to rise.

Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report – Summary

ETF#10-IBB-Biotech is skyrocketing. Such behavior disgusts the stock market bear. A dynamic bear cannot garnish enough energy with this sort of behavior in the sector. It has led past bullish rallies. Do not be surprised at some stalling, but certainly non-bearish along the short-term cycle.

ETF#20-EEM crossed above Yellow and finally crossed above NTI Blue today, justifying the short-term buy signals.

As stated yesterday, the VIX Force Vector cycle appears to be bottoming. That offers a short-term bearish threat to the stock market. So far, the cycle relates to mere stock market pausing.

ETF#08-EFA Force Vectors shifted bullishly yesterday, minimizing potential of selling.

Overall configurations continue nudging in favor of the stock market bull. Foreign markets are now adding support to the stock market bull, while remaining in somewhat of a precarious configuration.

The stock market bull and bear still lack desired unanimity, but the bull holds a significant advantage to gaining that before the bear.

Volume 01, Issue 07 ISSN 1526 6516 QT/ST

Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report – Summary

There are nine Red Bulls, supporting protection to bull/hold signals. Two Red Bulls were lost today; DJU and NYSE. Although not a major concern, it is noticeable with a short-term perspective.

The VIX Force Vector cycle appears to be bottoming. That offers a short-term bearish threat to the stock market.

ETF#20-EEM crossed above Yellow, but needs to cross above NTI Blue before buying. It will be interesting if Yellow acts as lid. ETF#08-EFA, on the other hand, is again on the verge of a sell signal.

Overall configurations continue nudging in favor of the stock market bull. Foreign markets are now adding support to the stock market bull, while remaining in somewhat of a precarious configuration.

Indicant Volume Indicators

No changes to this paragraph for several weeks. Both IVI’s sloped downward on recent bullishness, which suggests a lack of bullish inspiration. This is troubling. Adding to that concern is the NASDAQ’s IVI falling into low interest domains during the current near-term bull cycle. The NYSE recently did the same (early Nov). Some of that, however, is due to seasonal volume. Recent bearish behavior has been more supported with volume than recent bullish behavior.

Jan 06-Fri-Low volume on mild bearishness means nothing.

Jan 05-Thu-Continued low volume persists, leaving a void of any pizzazz.

Jan 03-Tue-Although volume was up, it remained low when considering seasonality. That coupled with mild bullish behavior offers little support for any changes in dynamic directional intensity.

ETF#14-TLT-Long Government received buy signals from the Near-term Indicant and Quick-term Indicant on Dec 14, 2011. Short-term attributes shifted in support of TLT’s bullishness. It is down 2.2% since those buy signals. The dollar is expected to continue strengthening and this ETF tends to parallel that. Unfortunately, a stock market bull, which is threatening, will inspire TLT bearishness. It is nearing NTI Green, where a sell signal will be triggered if Force remains in bearish domains.

ETF#31-QID received sell signals from both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant on Dec 23, 2011, as Force crossed below Pressure and into bearish domains. That is too threatening for holding even though QQQ remains with an avoid signal. Force is now increasing and once it crosses above Pressure and into bullish domains, a buy signal will be triggered. It is down 6.1% since those sell signals. Weakening Force is stalling, which offers some bullish hope for this ETF, but recent stock market bullish attributes are strengthening and not friendly to expectations of contrarian bullishness.

The Quick-term and Near-term Indicant signaled sell on Nov 30, 2011 for ETF#32-VXX. It is down 24.0% since those sell signals. Its Force Vector continues moving south (bearish for VXX).
