Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report - Summary
Force Vectors continued plummeting
today. That augmented bearish attributes and dampened bullish spurt
potential. The imminent reversal in Force’s direction may not be bullishly
inspirational due to the accelerating depression. Current configurations
added support for dynamic bearishness even though potential for a bullish
spurt remains. QID and related funds should perform well. Wait for the
Near-term Indicant to signal buy for VXX.
From Jun 29,
2010-A new ETF (actually an ETN) has been added to augment VIX tactics.
It is ETF#32, VXX. It is a bit more stable than VIX, but also more
predictable relative to stock market expectations. It is currently being
avoided by both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant. It will be handy
for trading/tracking/holding when the stock market bear dominates for long
periods of time. Although VXX is more stable than the VIX, it does
parallel VIX trends and cycles. The VXX is also contrarian. There are two
charts. The chart on the right will be explained at some future point. The
buy and sell signals, though, remain the same and noted on the leftmost
chart at the linked page. As you can see, it is being avoided.
Near-term, Quick-term, Short-term Indicant Stock Market Details
The
Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears.
The VIX is
the lone NTI bull. It is up 51.1% since the bull signal 9.1-weeks ago.
That annualizes at 290.5%. It is drafting bearishly and will probably
receive a bear signal this week. It was up 17.69% on yesterday’s stock
market bearish aggression. Do not be surprised at VIX bearishness and
stock market bullishness in the next few days. If this does not occur, the
stock market bear will dominate and be deep for several weeks/months.
The
Near-term Indicant is signaling bear for the remaining eleven indices.
They are down by an average of 7.6% since their bear signals an average of
7.7-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and two new bears. QTI bear
signals this past May were the first since July 2009.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bull for four major indices. They are up
by an average of 31.2%, annualizing at 33.6%, since their bull signals an
average of 48.3-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bear for six indices. They are down by an
average of 2.4% since their bear signals an average of 7.1-weeks ago.
Their recent bullishness remains configured as a bullish spurt and
unsustainable, which was obviated this past week and so far this week.
-Short-term Trend Sensitive Attributes
(Includes Near-term and Quick-term)
Quick-term Attributes (This is a
longer cycle than Near-term cycles)
QTI-Red Bull Count; No non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI-Bullish Red Curve Trend; None
of the non-contrarians are moving bullishly; no bullish support.
QTI-Yellow Bear Count; Most of
the non-contrarians are below the bearish yellow curve, supporting bearish
bias.
QTI-Bearish Yellow Curve Trend;
Non-bearish minority with four of 11-non-contrarian indices in non-bearish
trend, supporting non-bearish bias along this slower cycle. As you can
see, it is losing its resistive powers to the bear’s ambition.
The Quick-term Indicant is no longer
supportive of the QTI Bull due recent bear signals.
Near-term Attributes (This
is a shorter cycle than the Quick-term cycles)
NTI-Blue Bull Count; no
non-contrarians; no near-term bullish support.
NTI-Bullish Blue Curve Trend; All
non-contrarians sloping negatively; no bullish support.
NTI-Bearish Green Curve Trend;
All non-contrarians sloping negatively; no non-bearish support.
The Near-term attributes continue
inflecting with an increasing bias, favoring the bear. Both NTI Bullish
Blue and NTI Bearish Green are sloping south and thus solidly bearish on a
near-term basis.
Short-term Force Vectors
and Pressure Attributes
STI-Force Vector Domain Position;
They are bearishly mature, which continues to offer the bull some measure
of responding. It did not do that yesterday or today, but odds favor a
bullish response to this onslaught by the bear. The problem is that such a
response would be just another bullish spurt.
STI-Force Vector Direction; None
of the non-contrarians are moving north, but their maturing nature offers
the potential for some bullish behavior. Rather than reversing course,
they moved even deeper to the south.
STI-Vector Pressure Trend; None
of the non-contrarian indices are moving bullishly; no bullish support.
STI-Vector Pressure Position;
Zero non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no sustainable bullish
support.
Short-term Market Summary
Short-term attributes are
supporting the bear. The mature Force Vectors are proving irrelevant and
thus weakening the potential of a bullish spurt response.
-Tangential Protection –
None!
-Political Climate
– Change: Democrats currently lack 60-Senators. Republicans can now
filibuster. That is generally bullish. The problem is that Congress is
still working, which is generally bearish.
-Reverse Tangential Bearish Detection
–
We
can now monitor this phenomenon, as we are now enduring a significant
Near-term bearish cycle. The timing is unknown, but there is 100%
confidence the major indices and ETF’s will eventually fall to those
prices noted in the below link.
Click this sentence to the table, highlighting RTP’s (Reverse Tangential
Projections).
The
values and magnitudes are expressed in the table on the website.
Keep in mind
there is 100% confidence in these bearish projections. The problem is not
knowing when, but odds continue favoring it will occur in this bearish
cycle. Political and historical cycles suggest this should manifest before
the heart and soul of bullish seasonality this autumn. Much of this
depends on political influences. There will be some unfavorable
influences. There always is. The question is, when?
The Quick-term bearish yellow curve
stands between the above claim and prevailing prices. If prices fall below
this bearish yellow curve, the probability of tangential bearishness in
this cycle will be high. The Dow Utilities moved toward supporting this
phenomenon several weeks ago. A few more major indices joined the Dow
Utilities in the past few weeks. The NASDAQ and NASDAQ100 indices
succumbed today. This is inspirational to the stock market bear.

Short-term Indicant to see the combined table of the
Near-term Indicant, Quick-term, and Short-term Indicant. The table has
links to charts for each. Each chart contains all three models and there
are two separate buy and sell signals for the Near-term and/or Quick-term
Indicant.
The tour is
still being developed, but most of you are now familiar with the Near-term
bull/bear cycles as well as the tangential protections and reverse
tangential bearish detectors.
Indicant Volume Indicators
Volume indicators remain lethargic, as
the previous robust cycle expired several days ago. Some of this
contemporary lethargy is traced to seasonal behavior. The expiring
robustness configured during solid bearish expressions during May and
early June. Therefore, volume relationships remain biased in favor of the
bear.
(Recent
chronological observations are expressed below in reverse order).
Jun 30,
2010-Wed-Lethargic volume on today’s mild bearishness continues in support
of bearish bias.
Jun 29,
2010-Tue-Volume was aggressive on today’s stock market aggression by the
bear. Bearish bias prevails and now even more so.
Jun 28,
2010-Mon-Lethargic volume offers the bullish no hope for a sustainable
cycle. However, a low volume bullish spurt would not be surprising after
last week’s strong bearish behavior.
Jun 25,
2010-Fri-Volume was relatively high due to fund content rotation, as
opposed to real stock market interest. Bearish bias remains in tact.
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 five ETF’s. They are up by an
average of 6.2%, annualizing at 47.6%, since their buy signals an average
of 6.7-weeks ago.
The NTI is
avoiding 27-ETF’s. They are down an average of 6.3% since their sell
signals an average of 6.2-weeks ago. (VXX was included today in the report
card since it is nearly flat with the last signal).
The
Quick-term Indicant generated no buy signals and two sell signals.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling hold for 13-ETF’s. They are up an average
of 21.5% since their buy signals an average of 45.5-weeks ago. Those with
hold signals are annualizing at 24.6%.
The
Quick-term Indicant is avoiding 17-ETF’s. They are down by an average of
9.3% since their sell signals an average of 8.2-weeks ago. These avoided
ETF’s include contrarian QID, which is down 55.9% since its QTI sell
signal over a year ago on Mar 26, 2009.
Near-term
Indicant ETF Key Attributes
NTI Blue
Bull Count; No non-contrarians; no bullish support.
NTI Blue
Curve Trend: No non-contrarians are moving north; nearly all have now
collapsed.
NTI Green
Curve Trend; four non-contrarians are sloping north; some shifted back to
the south today, minimizing bullish spurt potential.
Quick-term
Indicant ETF Key Attributes
QTI Red Bull
Count; no non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI Bullish
Red Curve Trend; One of the non-contrarians is sloping north and offering
minimal protection against the bear.
QTI Bearish
Yellow Curve Trend; nine non-contrarians are sloping north, highlighting
non-bearishness along a slower moving plane. It is now offering very
little resistance to the bear.
The
Short-term Indicant ETF Key Attributes:
STI Force
Vectors Trend; continues moving south. Their maturity continues offering
mild bullish spurt potential, but more sell signals were triggered today
in spite of that prognosis.
STI Force
Vector Position; none of the non-contrarians are populating bullish
domains, offering no bullish support. Force Vectors continue their
decline. If Force does not continue its decline, then bearish prognoses
may be adjusted.
Vector
Pressure Position; Only one non-contrarian remains in bullish domains.
Last Monday’s gain of four offered the bull encouragement, but the bear
acted strongly to smite the bull.
Vector
Pressure Trend; only two of the non-contrarians are moving north. Several
shifted back to the south on recent bearish aggression.
Short-term
Summary: The bear is too strong to delay sell signals even though a
bullish spurt will occur in the next few days. QQQQ fell victim to the
Quick-term Bear today. That was its first QTI signal since the buy signal
in early April of last year.
Contrarian Funds
ETF#03-Natural Resources.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled sell on May 7, 2010. It is down 9.2% since
that sell signal. The Quick-term Indicant signaled sell on May 20, 2010,
as its price fell below QTI Bearish yellow curve. It is down 4.3% since
the QTI sell signal. Force Vectors continue plummeting and obviating solid
bearishness. It is currently behaving as a non-contrarian, but
historically it is contrarian.
ETF#11-Gold and Precious Metals
is up 50.9%
since the QTI signaled buy on December 11, 2008. Annualized growth is at
32.4%. Bearish yellow is a good price to set stop losses for a longer-term
hold position, which is at $106.50 and still rising.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy on Mar 2, 2010. It is up 9.6% since that
buy signal, annualizing at 28.8%.
Click
this sentence for additional charting and current forecasting of the
actual price of gold.
As stated
for the last year-plus months, gold remains fundamentally sound for
long-term holding and a technical measure of authenticity in that
assessment is in its bearish yellow curve. If it crosses below bearish
yellow, you will not want to be holding. The Quick-term Indicant will
highlight that potential when this occurs. A strengthening dollar is
somewhat of an evolving threat to gold, but again, continue holding until
the price interacts with the bearish yellow curve.
ETF#14-TLT-Long Government
received a
buy signal from both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant models on Apr
27, 2010. It is up 11.6% since those buy signals, annualizing at 65.4%.
This ETF is increasing its bullish attributes. It is usually contrarian to
the overall stock market, which adds to an increased overall stock market
bearish prognosis.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy for
ETF#31-QID on Thursday, May 13, 2010. It is up 20.9% since
then, annualizing at 156.4%.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled sell for QID on March 26, 2009. It is down
55.9% since then. The Quick-term Indicant will not signal buy until it
contacts the bearish yellow curve, which is valued at $19.98 and still
falling. Do not be surprised at a Quick-term buy signal in the next few
days. This and related funds will move nicely to the north on stock market
bearishness.
The
Near-term Indicant is avoided
ETF#32-VXX. Performance data will be updated at the first signal after
its inclusion on Jun 29, 2010.
Major ETF Events
Jun 30, 2010-Wed-Force Vectors continue
their bearish cycle from a very mature position. This is only encouraging
the bear.
Jun 29, 2010-Tue-Rioting Greeks again
inspired the stock market bear. Although, the overall stock market remains
solidly bearish, potential remains for a bullish spurt.
Jun 28, 2010-Mon-There were several;
Democrats no longer enjoy a filibuster-proof majority. That is bullish.
Several Vector Pressures crossed into bullish domains. International ETF’s
are configuring for a bullish bounce. Two received Near-term and
Quick-term buy signals today.
Jun 25, 2010-Fri-Force Vectors are
maturing. If they shift back to the north, the bear’s ambition will be
delayed/muted.
Current Strategy-Short-term Indicant- Jun 30, 2010-Wed-Although a bullish
spurt remains likely, the bear’s dominance disallowed holding QQQQ and
other very nicely performing ETF’s. The bear is in charge and holding
risks are increasing even with bullish spurt potential. Jun 29,
2010-Tue-Same as yesterday in spite of today’s bearish aggression. Jun 28,
2010-Mon-Do not be surprised at a bullish spurt. It could last up to July
4.

Stock Market Report
Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report - Summary
Fortunately, the stock market opened
with extreme bearishness today. That facilitated significant discounts on
yesterday’s two buy signals. Call options were very cheap early in the
day, but not recommended only on bullish spurt potential.
Although the stock market bull should
rejoice with filibuster potential in the U.S. Senate, rioting Greeks and
superfluous economic reports apparently have more weight. As stated
yesterday, potential for a bullish spurt remains in effect. The spurt, so
far, is expected to last only a few days.
If no spurt manifests, those two buy
signals may receive sell signals, depending on their performance. It will
be interesting to see if emerging markets and China can be bullish while
Europe and the U.S. are bearish; much like the 1800’s and 1900’s, but in
reverse.
Yesterdays’ comments regarding Force
Vectors were as follows: “It will be interesting to see how Force Vectors
behave on their impending cycle to the north. That will add some obviating
elements of directional intensity.” Today’s comments: “They moved more
deeply to the south, strengthening the bear’s position. A bullish spurt of
two to four days duration remains probable in spite of today’s bearish
aggression.”
If Force Vectors continue plummeting,
then dynamic bearish behavior should be expected to continue and gain
momentum. A bullish spurt in this case would be irrelevant. QID and
related such funds will perform exceedingly well with deeper
non-contrarian Force Vector behavior.
Well out of the money VIX spreads
(sometimes referred to as strangles) for August 2010 expiration should
deliver nice profits. The VIX will not be stable for several days.
A new ETF
has been added to augment VIX tactics.
It is ETF#32, VXX. It is a bit more stable than VIX, but also more
predictable relative to stock market expectations. It is currently being
avoided by both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant. It will be handy
for trading/tracking/holding when the stock market bear dominates for long
periods of time. Although VXX is more stable than the VIX, it does
parallel VIX trends and cycles. The VXX is contrarian. There are two
charts. The chart on the right will be explained at some future point. The
buy and sell signals, though, remain the same and noted on the leftmost
chart at the linked page. As you can see, it is currently being avoided.
Near-term, Quick-term, Short-term Indicant Stock Market Details
The
Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears.
The VIX is
the lone NTI bull. It is up 50.6% since the bull signal 9.0-weeks ago.
That annualizes at 292.3%. It is drafting bearishly and will probably
receive a bear signal this week. It was up 17.69% on today’s stock market
bearish aggression. Do not be surprised at VIX bearishness and stock
market bullishness in the next few days. If this does not occur, the stock
market bear will dominate and be deep for several weeks/months.
The
Near-term Indicant is signaling bear for the remaining eleven indices.
They are down by an average of 6.7% since their bear signals an average of
7.5-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears. QTI bear
signals this past May were the first since July 2009.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bull for six major indices. They are up
by an average of 31.1%, annualizing at 30.5%, since their bull signals an
average of 53.2-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bear for six indices. They are up by an
average of 1.5% since their bear signals an average of 7.0-weeks ago.
Their recent bullishness remains configured as a bullish spurt and
unsustainable, which was obviated this past week and so far this week.
-Short-term Trend Sensitive Attributes
(Includes Near-term and Quick-term)
Quick-term Attributes (This is a
longer cycle than Near-term cycles)
QTI-Red Bull Count; No non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI-Bullish Red Curve Trend; None
of the non-contrarians are moving bullishly; no bullish support.
QTI-Yellow Bear Count; One of the
non-contrarians is below the bearish yellow curve, but bearish
gravitational forces continue.
QTI-Bearish Yellow Curve Trend;
Non-bearish minority with five of 11-non-contrarian indices in non-bearish
trend, supporting non-bearish bias along this slower cycle. However, even
this strong resistance point is losing its capacity to do so, although
recently offering some resistance to bearish ambition.
The Quick-term Indicant is no longer
supportive of the QTI Bull due recent bear signals.
Near-term Attributes (This
is a shorter cycle than the Quick-term cycles)
NTI-Blue Bull Count; no
non-contrarians; no near-term bullish support.
NTI-Bullish Blue Curve Trend; All
non-contrarians sloping negatively; no bullish support.
NTI-Bearish Green Curve Trend;
All non-contrarians sloping negatively; no non-bearish support.
The Near-term attributes continue
inflecting with an increasing bias, favoring the bear. Both NTI Bullish
Blue and NTI Bearish Green are sloping south and thus solidly bearish on a
near-term basis.
Short-term Force Vectors
and Pressure Attributes
STI-Force Vector Domain Position;
They are bearishly mature, which continues to offer the bull some measure
of responding. It did not do that today, but odds favor a bullish response
to this onslaught by the bear.
STI-Force Vector Direction; None
of the non-contrarians are moving north, but their maturing nature offers
the potential for some bullish behavior. Rather than reversing course,
they moved even deeper to the south.
STI-Vector Pressure Trend; None
of the non-contrarian indices are moving bullishly; no bullish support.
STI-Vector Pressure Position;
Zero non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no sustainable bullish
support.
Short-term Market Summary
Short-term attributes are
supporting the bear. Configurations are interesting. Force Vectors finally
fell below Pressure and into bearish domains. If they continue moving
south, expect a dynamic bear. If they redirect back to the north and
elevate Pressure into bearish domains, bearish aggression will be muted.
They appear to be preparing to support a mild bullish response.

Bull Count; No non-contrarians; no bullish support.
NTI Blue
Curve Trend: Ten non-contrarians moving north; over half of the NTI Blues
collapsed.
NTI Green
Curve Trend; six non-contrarians are sloping north; six shifted north the
past two days, offering bullish spurt potential. That potential still
exists.

Count; no non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI Bullish
Red Curve Trend; Two of the non-contrarians are sloping north and again
protecting against bearish ambition.
QTI Bearish
Yellow Curve Trend; ten non-contrarians are sloping north, highlighting
non-bearishness along a slower moving plane. Its resistance is building
non-bearish momentum and still does so in spite of today’s bearish
aggression.
The
Short-term Indicant ETF Key Attributes:
STI Force
Vectors Trend; continues moving south, but their maturity is offering
bullish spurt potential, which subsists in spite of today’s bearish
aggression.
STI Force
Vector Position; none of the non-contrarians are populating bullish
domains, offering no bullish support. Force Vectors continue their
decline. If Force does not continue its decline, then bearish prognoses
may be adjusted. They are no longer configuring for aggressive bearishness
in spite of today’s bearish aggression.
Vector
Pressure Position; Only one non-contrarian remains in bullish domains.
Yesterday’s gain of four offered the bull encouragement, but the bear
acted strongly to smite the bull.
Vector
Pressure Trend; only two of the non-contrarians are moving north. Several

yesterday’s non-bearish to bullish hope.
Short-term
Summary: Yesterday’s comment was: “A mild shift from strong bearish
support to non-bearish/bullish support has been detected.” The bear
apparently found that commentary offensive, but the statement remains
true.
Contrarian Funds
ETF#03-Natural Resources.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled sell on May 7, 2010. It is down 8.5% since
that sell signal. The Quick-term Indicant signaled sell on May 20, 2010,
as its price fell below QTI Bearish yellow curve. It is down 3.6% since
the QTI sell signal. Force Vectors continued plummeting and obviating
solid bearishness.
ETF#11-Gold and Precious Metals
is up 50.4%
since the QTI signaled buy on December 11, 2008. Annualized growth is at
32.1%. Bearish yellow is a good price to set stop losses for a longer-term
hold position, which is at $106.38 and still rising.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy on Mar 2, 2010. It is up 9.2% since that
buy signal, annualizing at 27.9%.
A stock
market bullish spurt may suck some of the life out of the gold bull, but
continue holding unless bearish yellow is threatened.

ETF#14-TLT-Long Government
received a
buy signal from both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant models on Apr
27, 2010. It is up 10.9% since those buy signals, annualizing at 62.1%.
This ETF is increasing its bullish attributes. It is usually contrarian to
the overall stock market, which adds to an increased overall stock market
bearish prognosis. However, a bullish stock market spurt may induce profit
taking from this fund.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy for
ETF#31-QID on Thursday, May 13, 2010. It is up 17.2% since
then, annualizing at 131.6%.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled sell for QID on March 26, 2009. It is down
57.2% since then. The Quick-term Indicant will not signal buy until it
contacts the bearish yellow curve, which is valued at $20.01 and still
falling. Its rate of decline is slowing to less than a nickel per day.

Stock Market Report
Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report - Summary
Do not be surprised at a bullish spurt,
lasting at least up to July 4. The stock market bull should rejoice with
the democrats losing a filibuster-proof Senate today. That should be
bullish at best; non-bearish at worse for a few days. Congress will recess
and that could foment yet more bullishness ahead of the lazy-hazy summer
time doldrums.
Two international ETF’s received buy
signals today. Maybe the rest of the world has gained enough momentum to
propel capitalism, while the U.S. moves southerly on that front.
You will notice a verbiage shift in
this report with some mild bullish optimism. Force Vectors are maturing
with increasing Vector Pressure. This is increasing bullish potential on
the near-term cycle.
It will be interesting to see how Force
Vectors behave on their impending cycle to the north. That will add some
obviating elements of directional intensity.
Near-term, Quick-term, Short-term Indicant Stock Market Details
The
Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears.
The VIX is
the lone NTI bull. It is up 27.4% since the bull signal 8.9-weeks ago.
That annualizes at 160.6%. It is drafting bearishly and will probably
receive a bear signal this week.
The
Near-term Indicant is signaling bear for the remaining eleven indices.
They are down by an average of 3.5% since their bear signals an average of
7.4-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears. QTI bear
signals this past May were the first since July 2009.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bull for six major indices. They are up
by an average of 31.4%, annualizing at 30.8%, since their bull signals an
average of 53.0-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bear for six indices. They are up by an
average of 1.3% since their bear signals an average of 6.8-weeks ago.
Their recent bullishness remains configured as a bullish spurt and
unsustainable, which was obviated this past week.
-Short-term Trend Sensitive Attributes
(Includes Near-term and Quick-term)
Quick-term Attributes (This is a
longer cycle than Near-term cycles)
QTI-Red Bull Count; No non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI-Bullish Red Curve Trend; Five
non-contrarians moving bullishly; weakening bullish support.
QTI-Yellow Bear Count; One of the
non-contrarians is below the bearish yellow curve, but bearish
gravitational forces continue.
QTI-Bearish Yellow Curve Trend;
Non-bearish minority with five of 11-non-contrarian indices in non-bearish
trend, supporting non-bearish bias along this slower cycle. However, even
this strong resistance point is losing its capacity to do so, although
recently offering some resistance to bearish ambition.
The Quick-term Indicant is no longer
supportive of the QTI Bull due recent bear signals.
Near-term Attributes (This
is a shorter cycle than the Quick-term cycles)
NTI-Blue Bull Count; no
non-contrarians; no near-term bullish support.
NTI-Bullish Blue Curve Trend; All
non-contrarians sloping negatively; no bullish support.
NTI-Bearish Green Curve Trend;
All non-contrarians sloping negatively; no non-bearish support.
The Near-term attributes continue
inflecting with an increasing bias, favoring the bear. Both NTI Bullish
Blue and NTI Bearish Green are sloping south and thus solidly bearish on a
near-term basis.
Short-term Force Vectors
and Pressure Attributes
STI-Force Vector Domain Position;
They are bearishly mature, offering the bull an opportunity to take
advantage.
STI-Force Vector Direction; None
of the non-contrarians are moving north, but their maturing nature offers
the potential for some bullish behavior.
STI-Vector Pressure Trend; Three
of the non-contrarian indices are moving bullishly; no bullish support.
STI-Vector Pressure Position;
Zero non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no sustainable bullish
support.
Short-term Market Summary
Short-term attributes are
supporting the bear. Configurations are interesting. Force Vectors finally
fell below Pressure and into bearish domains. If they continue moving
south, expect a dynamic bear. If they redirect back to the north and
elevate Pressure into bearish domains, bearish aggression will be muted.
They appear to be preparing to support a mild bullish response.
-Tangential Protection –
None!
-Political Climate
– Change: Democrats currently lack 60-Senators. Republicans can now
filibuster. That is generally bullish.
-Reverse Tangential Bearish Detection
–
We
can now monitor this phenomenon, as we are now enduring a significant
Near-term bearish cycle. The timing is unknown, but there is 100%
confidence the major indices and ETF’s will eventually fall to those
prices noted in the below link.
Click this sentence to the table, highlighting RTP’s (Reverse Tangential
Projections).
The
values and magnitudes are expressed in the table on the website.
Keep in mind
there is 100% confidence in these bearish projections. The problem is not
knowing when, but odds continue favoring it will occur in this bearish
cycle. Political and historical cycles suggest this should manifest before
the heart and soul of bullish seasonality this autumn. Much of this
depends on political influences. There will be some unfavorable
influences. There always is. The question is, when?
The Quick-term bearish yellow curve
stands between the above claim and prevailing prices. If prices fall below
this bearish yellow curve, the probability of tangential bearishness in
this cycle will be high. The Dow Utilities moved toward supporting this
phenomenon several weeks ago. A few more major indices joined the Dow
Utilities in the past few weeks.
Click the
Short-term Indicant to see the combined table of the
Near-term Indicant, Quick-term, and Short-term Indicant. The table has
links to charts for each. Each chart contains all three models and there
are two separate buy and sell signals for the Near-term and/or Quick-term
Indicant.
The tour is
still being developed, but most of you are now familiar with the Near-term
bull/bear cycles as well as the tangential protections and reverse
tangential bearish detectors.
Indicant Volume Indicators
Volume indicators remain lethargic, as
the previous robust cycle expired several days ago. Some of this
contemporary lethargy is traced to seasonal behavior. The expiring
robustness configured during solid bearish expressions during May and
early June. Therefore, volume relationships remain biased in favor of the
bear.
(Recent
chronological observations are expressed below in reverse order).
Jun 28,
2010-Mon-Lethargic volume offers the bullish no hope for a sustainable
cycle. However, a low volume bullish spurt would not be surprising after
last week’s strong bearish behavior.
Jun 25,
2010-Fri-Volume was relatively high due to fund content rotation, as
opposed to real stock market interest. Bearish bias remains in tact.
Short-term ETF Report Card, Status, and Charts
The
Near-term Indicant generated two buy signals and no sell signals.
The
Near-term Indicant is signaling hold for three ETF’s. They are up by an
average of 9.2%, annualizing at 44.6%, since their buy signals an average
of 10.8-weeks ago.
The NTI is
avoiding 26-ETF’s. They are down an average of 2.5% since their sell
signals an average of 6.1-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant generated two buy signals and no sell signals.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling hold for 13-ETF’s. They are up an average
of 31.5% since their buy signals an average of 55.1-weeks ago. Those with
hold signals are annualizing at 29.7%.
The
Quick-term Indicant is avoiding 16-ETF’s. They are down by an average of
2.2% since their sell signals an average of 8.4-weeks ago. These avoided
ETF’s include contrarian QID, which is down 60.2% since its QTI sell
signal over a year ago on Mar 26, 2009.
Near-term
Indicant ETF Key Attributes
NTI Blue
Bull Count; Only one non-contrarian; limited bullish support.
NTI Blue
Curve Trend: All non-contrarians moving north, offering bullish spurt
potential.
NTI Green
Curve Trend; two non-contrarians are sloping north; they shifted north
today and offers bullish spurt potential.
Quick-term
Indicant ETF Key Attributes
QTI Red Bull
Count; no non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI Bullish
Red Curve Trend; Two of the non-contrarians are sloping north and again
protecting against bearish ambition.
QTI Bearish
Yellow Curve Trend; nine non-contrarians are sloping north, highlighting
non-bearishness along a slower moving plane. Its resistance is building
non-bearish momentum.
The
Short-term Indicant ETF Key Attributes:
STI Force
Vectors Trend; continues moving south, but their maturity is offering
bullish spurt potential.
STI Force
Vector Position; only three non-contrarians are populating bullish
domains, offering minimal bullish support. Force Vectors continue their
decline. If Force does not continue its decline, then bearish prognoses
may be adjusted. They are no longer configuring for aggressive
bearishness.
Vector
Pressure Position; Five non-contrarians moved into bullish domains,
offering the bull some encouragement.
Vector
Pressure Trend; 25-of the non-contrarians are moving north and now offering
non-bearish to bullish hope.
Short-term
Summary: A mild shift from strong bearish support to non-bearish/bullish
support has been detected.
Contrarian Funds
ETF#03-Natural Resources.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled sell on May 7, 2010. It is down 5.4% since
that sell signal. The Quick-term Indicant signaled sell on May 20, 2010,
as its price fell below QTI Bearish yellow curve. It is down 0.3% since
the QTI sell signal. It will be interesting to see if Force Vectors
continue plummeting. The cycle is mature and configuring for a potential
bullish bounce.
ETF#11-Gold and Precious Metals
is up 50.1%
since the QTI signaled buy on December 11, 2008. Annualized growth is at
32.0%. Bearish yellow is a good price to set stop losses for a longer-term
hold position, which is at $106.25 and still rising.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy on Mar 2, 2010. It is up 9.1% since that
buy signal, annualizing at 27.7%.
A stock
market bullish spurt may suck some of the life out of the gold bull, but
continue holding unless bearish yellow is threatened.
Click
this sentence for additional charting and current forecasting of the
actual price of gold.
As stated
for the last year-plus months, gold remains fundamentally sound for
long-term holding and a technical measure of authenticity in that
assessment is in its bearish yellow curve. If it crosses below bearish
yellow, you will not want to be holding. The Quick-term Indicant will
highlight that potential when this occurs. A strengthening dollar is
somewhat of an evolving threat to gold, but again, continue holding until
the price interacts with the bearish yellow curve.
ETF#14-TLT-Long Government
received a
buy signal from both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant models on Apr
27, 2010. It is up 9.7% since those buy signals, annualizing at 56.2%.
This ETF is increasing its bullish attributes. It is usually contrarian to
the overall stock market, which adds to an increased overall stock market
bearish prognosis. However, a bullish stock market spurt may induce profit
taking from this fund.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy for
ETF#31-QID on Thursday, May 13, 2010. It is up 8.9% since then,
annualizing at 69.9%.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled sell for QID on March 26, 2009. It is down
60.2% since then. The Quick-term Indicant will not signal buy until it
contacts the bearish yellow curve, which is valued at $20.05 and still
falling. Its rate of decline is slowing to less than a nickel per day.
Major ETF Events
Jun 28, 2010-Mon-There were several;
Democrats no longer enjoy a filibuster-proof majority. That is bullish.
Several Vector Pressures crossed into bullish domains. International ETF’s
are configuring for a bullish bounce. Two received Near-term and
Quick-term buy signals today.
Jun 25, 2010-Fri-Force Vectors are
maturing. If they shift back to the north, the bear’s ambition will be
delayed/muted.
Current Strategy-Short-term Indicant- Jun 28, 2010-Mon-Do not be surprised

Stock Market Report
Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report - Summary
As stated the past several days, the
only remaining short-term attribute offering potential resistance to the
stock market bear is the Quick-term Bearish Yellow Curve. The bull
successfully argued with bearish ambition the week before last, but lost
substance this past week.
Minor convergence is occurring. It is better to avoid transactions with
Force Vector cycle maturing. The bear will gain momentum if they continue
moving south, while the bear’s ambition will be delayed if they shift back
to the north.
Near-term, Quick-term, Short-term Indicant Stock Market Details
The
Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears.
The VIX is
the lone NTI bull. It is up 23.8% since the bull signal 8.4-weeks ago.
That annualizes at 146.7%.
The
Near-term Indicant is signaling bear for the remaining eleven indices.
They are down by an average of 3.4% since their bear signals an average of
7.0-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears. QTI bear
signals this past May were the first since July 2009.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bull for six major indices. They are up
by an average of 31.1%, annualizing at 30.8%, since their bull signals an
average of 52.6-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bear for six indices. They are up by an

-Short-term Trend Sensitive Attributes
(Includes Near-term and Quick-term)
Quick-term Attributes (This is a
longer cycle than Near-term cycles)
QTI-Red Bull Count; No non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI-Bullish Red Curve Trend; Five
non-contrarians moving bullishly; weakening bullish support.
QTI-Yellow Bear Count; One of the
non-contrarians is below the bearish yellow curve, but bearish
gravitational forces continue.
QTI-Bearish Yellow Curve Trend;
Non-bearish minority with five of 11-non-contrarian indices in non-bearish
trend, supporting non-bearish bias along this slower cycle. However, even
this strong resistance point is losing its capacity to do so, although
recently offering some resistance to bearish ambition.
The Quick-term Indicant is no longer
supportive of the QTI Bull due recent bear signals.
Near-term Attributes (This
is a shorter cycle than the Quick-term cycles)
NTI-Blue Bull Count; no
non-contrarians; no near-term bullish support.
NTI-Bullish Blue Curve Trend; All
non-contrarians sloping negatively; no bullish support.
NTI-Bearish Green Curve Trend;
All non-contrarians sloping negatively; no non-bearish support.
The Near-term attributes continue
inflecting with an increasing bias, favoring the bear. Both NTI Bullish
Blue and NTI Bearish Green are sloping south and thus solidly bearish on a
near-term basis.
Short-term Force Vectors
and Pressure Attributes
STI-Force Vector Domain Position;
None of the non-contrarians are in bullish domains offering no bullish
support.
STI-Force Vector Position
Relative to Vector Pressure; None of the non-contrarians are above
Pressure.
STI-Force Vector Direction; None
of the non-contrarians are moving north. As stated the past few days, they
are ominously configured in support of additional bearish behavior. You
saw that with bearish aggression in three of the last four days.
STI-Vector Pressure Trend; Six of
the non-contrarian indices are moving bullishly; no bullish support
because Force is moving south.
STI-Vector Pressure Position;
Zero non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no bullish support.
Short-term Market Summary
Short-term attributes are
supporting the bear. Configurations are interesting. Force Vectors finally
fell below Pressure and into bearish domains. If they continue moving
south, expect a dynamic bear. If they redirect back to the north and
elevate Pressure into bearish domains, bearish aggression will be muted.

Indicant Volume Indicators
Volume indicators remain lethargic, as
the previous robust cycle expired several days ago. Some of this
contemporary lethargy is traced to seasonal behavior. The expiring
robustness configured during solid bearish expressions during May and

bear.
(Recent
chronological observations are expressed below in reverse order).
Jun 25,
2010-Fri-Volume was relatively high due to fund content rotation, as
opposed to real stock market interest. Bearish bias remains in tact.
Jun 24,
2010-Thu-Same as yesterday. Several weeks have elapsed without significant
volume. Substantive directional shifts require more volume. Therefore,
bias remains favorable to the bear’s ambition.
Jun 23,
2010-Wed-Mediocre volume on flat market behavior suggests status quo
continuations; bearish bias prevails.
Jun 22,
2010-Tue-The Indicant Volume Indicator is reflecting soft volume, some of
which is seasonal. The bull will not be inspired with this behavior.
Today’s bearish aggression was accompanied with normal volume. Bearish
bias prevails.
Jun 21,
2010-Mon-Light volume on bearish behavior continues in support of the
short-term bear cycle.
Jun 18,
2010-Fri-Seasonally low volume on flat stock market behavior offers
nothing on bias shift. The stock market remains with bearish bias on a
short-term basis.

Near-term
Indicant ETF Key Attributes
NTI Blue
Bull Count; Only one non-contrarian; no bullish support.
NTI Blue
Curve Trend: several of non-contrarians shifted north late last week,
reflecting bullish spurt behavior as opposed to bullish sustainability.
NTI Green

QTI Bullish
Red Curve Trend; None of the non-contrarians are sloping north and without
bullish support.
QTI Bearish
Yellow Curve Trend; nine non-contrarians are sloping north, highlighting
non-bearishness along a slower moving plane. As stated the past few days,
this non-bullish attribute is under bearish threat. This normally
resistive level is acquiescing to the bear’s desire without much fight
until late last week. Keep in mind, this is merely resisting the bear; not
defeating it.
The
Short-term Indicant ETF Key Attributes:
STI Force
Vectors are now moving bearishly. If they waver in bullish domains,
bearish ambition will be muted.
STI Force
Vector Position; only three non-contrarians are populating bullish

decline. If Force does not continue its decline, then bearish prognoses
may be adjusted.
Vector
Pressure Position; None of non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no
bullish support and increasing bearish support.
Vector
Pressure Trend; 25-of the non-contrarians are moving north, reflecting the
bullish spurt; there is very limited bullish support and increasing
bearish support.

Stock Market Report
Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report - Summary
As stated the past several days, the
only remaining short-term attribute offering potential resistance to the
stock market bear is the Quick-term Bearish Yellow Curve. Unfortunately,
this resistance had been pathetic until last week, where the bull
successfully argued with bearish ambition. The bear has been victorious so
far this week with significant success.
Although put options have performed
very well the past few days, Force Vectors are nestled at Vector Pressure.
This configuration periodically associates with bullish bounces,
regardless of other attribute configurations. This is a bit too risky for
put options. A bullish bounce on the immediate horizon will not be
sustainable, but the bounce itself will be painful for short option
traders.
If Force Vectors continue to plummet,
then other put option opportunities will be available on the recoils.

Quick-term Indicant is signaling bear for six indices. They are up by an
average of 1.2% since their bear signals an average of 6.3-weeks ago.
Their recent bullishness remains configured as a bullish spurt and
unsustainable, which has been obviated so far this week.
-Short-term Trend Sensitive Attributes
(Includes Near-term and Quick-term)
Quick-term Attributes (This is a
longer cycle than Near-term cycles)
QTI-Red Bull Count; No non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI-Bullish Red Curve Trend; Five
non-contrarians moving bullishly; weakening bullish support.
QTI-Yellow Bear Count; One of the
non-contrarians are below the bearish yellow curve, but bearish
gravitational forces continue.
QTI-Bearish Yellow Curve Trend;
Non-bearish minority with five of 11-non-contrarian indices in non-bearish
trend, supporting non-bearish bias along this slower cycle. However, even
this strong resistance point is losing its capacity to do so, although
recently offering some resistance to bearish ambition.
The Quick-term Indicant is no longer
supportive of the QTI Bull due recent bear signals.
Near-term Attributes (This
is a shorter cycle than the Quick-term cycles)
NTI-Blue Bull Count; no
non-contrarians; no near-term bullish support.
NTI-Bullish Blue Curve Trend; All
non-contrarians sloping negatively; no bullish support.
NTI-Bearish Green Curve Trend;
All non-contrarians sloping negatively; no non-bearish support.
The Near-term attributes continue
inflecting with an increasing bias, favoring the bear. Both NTI Bullish
Blue and NTI Bearish Green are sloping south and thus solidly bearish on a
near-term basis.
Short-term Force Vectors
and Pressure Attributes
STI-Force Vector Domain Position;
Seven of the non-contrarians are in bullish domains offering no bullish
support since configurations indicate a bullish spurt as opposed to
sustainability. They are configuring in support of non-bullishness at
best, more bearishness at worse.
STI-Force Vector Position
Relative to Vector Pressure; None of the non-contrarians are above
Pressure but not offering bullish support. Just reflecting bullish spurt
behavior.
STI-Force Vector Direction; None
of the non-contrarians are moving north. As stated the past few days, they
are ominously configured in support of additional bearish behavior. You
saw that with bearish aggression in two of the last three days.
STI-Vector Pressure Trend; Ten of
the non-contrarian indices are moving bullishly; no bullish support
because Force is moving south.
STI-Vector Pressure Position;
Zero non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no bullish support.
Short-term Market Summary
Short-term attributes are
supporting the bear. Configurations are interesting. Force Vectors finally
fell below Pressure and into bearish domains. If they continue moving
south, expect a dynamic bear. If they redirect back to the north and
elevate Pressure into bearish domains, bearish aggression will be muted.

confidence the major indices and ETF’s will eventually fall to those
prices noted in the below link.

Keep in mind
there is 100% confidence in these bearish projections. The problem is not
knowing when, but odds favor before the first half of this
year (2010). Only one week remains until the first half completes.
However, this threat remains until further notice. Much of this
depends on political influences. There will be some unfavorable
influences. There always is. The question is, when?
The Quick-term bearish yellow curve
stands between the above claim and prevailing prices. If prices fall below
this bearish yellow curve, the probability of tangential bearishness in
this cycle will be high. The Dow Utilities moved toward supporting this
phenomenon several weeks ago. A few more major indices joined the Dow
Utilities in the past few weeks.

Indicant Volume Indicators
Volume indicators remain lethargic, as
the previous robust cycle expired several days ago. Some of this
contemporary lethargy is traced to seasonal behavior. The expiring
robustness configured during solid bearish expressions during May and
early June. Therefore, volume relationships are biased in favor of the
bear.
(Recent
chronological observations are expressed below in reverse order).
Jun 24,
2010-Thu-Same as yesterday. Several weeks have elapsed without significant
volume. Substantive directional shifts require more volume. Therefore,
bias remains favorable to the bear’s ambition.
Jun 23,
2010-Wed-Mediocre volume on flat market behavior suggests status quo
continuations; bearish bias prevails.
Jun 22,
2010-Tue-The Indicant Volume Indicator is reflecting soft volume, some of
which is seasonal. The bull will not be inspired with this behavior.
Today’s bearish aggression was accompanied with normal volume. Bearish
bias prevails.

this non-bullish attribute is under bearish threat. This normally
resistive level is acquiescing to the bear’s desire without much fight
until late last week. Keep in mind, this is merely resisting the bear; not
defeating it.

bearish ambition will be muted.
STI Force

bullish support and increasing bearish support.
Vector
Pressure Trend; 25-of the non-contrarians are moving north, reflecting the

Short-term
Summary: Most attributes are supporting the Short-term Bear.
Contrarian Funds
ETF#03-Natural Resources.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled sell on May 7, 2010. It is down 4.4% since
that sell signal. The Quick-term Indicant signaled sell on May 20, 2010,
as its price fell below QTI Bearish yellow curve. It is up 0.8% since the
QTI sell signal. It will be interesting to see if Force Vectors continue
plummeting.
ETF#11-Gold and Precious Metals
is up 50.4%
since the QTI signaled buy on December 11, 2008. Annualized growth is at
32.4%. Bearish yellow is a good price to set stop losses for a longer-term
hold position, which is at $105.99 and still rising.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy on Mar 2, 2010. It is up 9.3% since that
buy signal, annualizing at 29.2%.
Click
this sentence for additional charting and current forecasting of the
actual price of gold.
As stated
for the last year-plus months, gold remains fundamentally sound for
long-term holding and a technical measure of authenticity in that
assessment is in its bearish yellow curve. If it crosses below bearish
yellow, you will not want to be holding. The Quick-term Indicant will
highlight that potential when this occurs. A strengthening dollar is
somewhat of an evolving threat to gold, but again, continue holding until
the price interacts with the bearish yellow curve.
ETF#14-TLT-Long Government
received a
buy signal from both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant models on Apr
27, 2010. It is up 8.2% since those buy signals, annualizing at 51.0%.
This ETF is increasing its bullish attributes. It is usually contrarian to
the overall stock market, which adds to an increased overall stock market
bearish prognosis.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy for
ETF#31-QID on Thursday, May 13, 2010. It is up 7.9% since then,
annualizing at 67.7%.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled sell for QID on March 26, 2009. It is down
60.6% since then. The Quick-term Indicant will not signal buy until it
contacts the bearish yellow curve, which is valued at $20.12 and still
falling. Its rate of decline is slowing to less than a nickel per day.
Major ETF Events
Jun 24, 2010-Thu-Opening bearishness
stayed bearish. Although this discouraged put option opportunities, those
purchased last Fri and early Mon morning performed very well.
Jun 23, 2010-Wed-No major technical
events. Fundamentally, oil inventories continue to rise and the
unpublished M3-Money Supply continues to contract. Both are bearish.
Jun 22, 2010-Tue-Late session
aggressive bearishness occurred again. Contrarian
ETF #03 – Energy was not contrarian on today’s bearishness. This fund
and related sector may not be contrarian for several months. However, we
will continue identifying it as contrarian, based on historical merit.
Jun 21, 2010-Mon-Aggressive bullishness
at the opening, followed by aggressive bearishness at the close suggests
bearish bias will continue.
Jun 18, 2010-Fri-As usual, there was
little volatility on this quadruple witching day.
Current Strategy-Short-term Indicant- Jun 24, 2010-Thu-Force Vectors are at
a critical point. Do not buy any options. Jun 23, 2010-Wed-Same. Jun 22,

Stock Market Report
Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report - Summary
As stated the past several days, the
only remaining short-term attribute offering potential resistance to the
stock market bear is the Quick-term Bearish Yellow Curve. Unfortunately,
this resistance had been pathetic until last week, where the bull
successfully argued with bearish ambition. The bear has been victorious so
far this week with significant success.
Force Vectors are now moving south. The
imminent non-bullishness with increasing probabilities of strong
bearishness manifested yesterday. Configurations suggests a bull-bear
battle may wage, but bias remains in favor of the bear; at best,
non-bullishness.
Force Vectors resident in bullish
domains is always a threat to bearish ambition. However, they are moving
south, which minimizes that threat. If they meander or slow their rate of
decline, bearish bias may be voided since the NTI Bullish Blue Curve is
offering potential bullish support.
Continue considering bullish behavior
as mere bullish spurts in the face of a dominant short-term bear.
Put options have performed well the
past few days. They remain appealing but with added caution since NTI
Bullish Blue is increasing.
Near-term, Quick-term, Short-term Indicant Stock Market Details
The
Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears.
The VIX is
the lone NTI bull. It is up 16.8% since the bull signal 8.1-weeks ago.

They are down by an average of 2.1% since their bear signals an average of

Short-term Market Summary
Short-term attributes are
supporting the bear. Vector Pressure is not offering bullish hope. The
last line of defense against the bear is the Quick-term bearish yellow
curve. This potential resistance remains, but enduring pricing proximity
and related threats by the bear. You should have noticed some of that

The Quick-term Indicant is no longer
supportive of the QTI Bull due recent bear signals.
Near-term Attributes (This
is a shorter cycle than the Quick-term cycles)
NTI-Blue Bull Count; three
non-contrarians; no near-term bullish support.
NTI-Bullish Blue Curve Trend; All
non-contrarians sloping negatively; no bullish support.
NTI-Bearish Green Curve Trend;
All non-contrarians sloping negatively; no non-bearish support.
The Near-term attributes continue
inflecting with an increasing bias, favoring the bear. Both NTI Bullish
Blue and NTI Bearish Green are sloping south and thus solidly bearish on a
near-term basis.
Short-term Force Vectors
and Pressure Attributes
STI-Force Vector Domain Position;
Ten of the non-contrarians are in bullish domains offering no bullish
support since configurations indicate a bullish spurt as opposed to
sustainability. They are configuring in support of non-bullishness at
best, more bearishness at worse.
STI-Force Vector Position
Relative to Vector Pressure; Ten of the non-contrarians are above Pressure
but not offering bullish support. Just reflecting bullish spurt behavior.
STI-Force Vector Direction; None
of the non-contrarians are moving north. As stated the past few days, they
are ominously configured in support of additional bearish behavior. You
saw that with today’s bearish aggression.
STI-Vector Pressure Trend; None
of the non-contrarian indices are moving bullishly; no bullish support.
STI-Vector Pressure Position;
Zero non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no bullish support.
Short-term Market Summary
Short-term attributes are
supporting the bear. Vector Pressure is not offering bullish hope. The
last line of defense against the bear is the Quick-term bearish yellow
curve. This potential resistance remains, but enduring pricing proximity
and related threats by the bear. You should have noticed some of that
resistant behavior the past few days. That is all it is; just resisting
the bear; not defeating it.

Keep in mind
there is 100% confidence in these bearish projections. The problem is not
knowing when, but odds favor before the first half of this
year (2010). Only one week remains until the first half completes.
However, this threat remains until further notice. Much of this
depends on political influences. There will be some unfavorable
influences. There always is. The question is, when?
The Quick-term bearish yellow curve
stands between the above claim and prevailing prices. If prices fall below
this bearish yellow curve, the probability of tangential bearishness in
this cycle will be high. The Dow Utilities moved toward supporting this
phenomenon several weeks ago. A few more major indices joined the Dow
Utilities in the past few weeks.

Indicant Volume Indicators
Volume indicators remain lethargic, as
the previous robust cycle expired several days ago. Some of this
contemporary lethargy is traced to seasonal behavior. The expiring
robustness configured during solid bearish expressions during May and
early June. Therefore, volume relationships are biased in favor of the
bear.

QTI Bearish
Yellow Curve Trend; nine non-contrarians are sloping north, highlighting
non-bearishness along a slower moving plane. As stated the past few days,
this non-bullish attribute is under bearish threat. This normally
resistive level is acquiescing to the bear’s desire without much fight
until late last week. Keep in mind, this is merely resisting the bear; not
defeating it.
The
Short-term Indicant ETF Key Attributes:
STI Force
Vectors are now moving bearishly. If they waver in bullish domains,
bearish ambition will be muted.
STI Force
Vector Position; twenty-five non-contrarians are populating bullish
domains, but temporarily so. Force Vectors are peaking and primed to
support bearish behavior. If Force does not fall sharply, then bearish
prognoses may be adjusted.
Vector
Pressure Position; None of non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no
bullish support and increasing bearish support.
Vector
Pressure Trend; 25-of the non-contrarians are moving north, reflecting the
bullish spurt; there is very limited bullish support and increasing
bearish support.
Short-term
Summary: Most attributes are supporting the Short-term Bear.
Contrarian Funds
ETF#03-Natural Resources.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled sell on May 7, 2010. It is down 1.6% since
that sell signal. The Quick-term Indicant signaled sell on May 20, 2010,
as its price fell below QTI Bearish yellow curve. It is up 3.8% since the
QTI sell signal. Pressure remains in bearish domains and thus
non-threatening to its bearish prognosis. However, pressure is nearing
bullish domains, which threatens bearish prognosis.
ETF#11-Gold and Precious Metals
is up 50.6%
since the QTI signaled buy on December 11, 2008. Annualized growth is at
32.6%. Bearish yellow is a good price to set stop losses for a longer-term
hold position, which is at $105.74 and still rising.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy on Mar 2, 2010. It is up 8.4% since that
buy signal, annualizing at 30.2%.
Click
this sentence for additional charting and current forecasting of the
actual price of gold.
As stated
for the last year-plus months, gold remains fundamentally sound for
long-term holding and a technical measure of authenticity in that
assessment is in its bearish yellow curve. If it crosses below bearish
yellow, you will not want to be holding. The Quick-term Indicant will
highlight that potential when this occurs. A strengthening dollar is
somewhat of an evolving threat to gold, but again, continue holding until
the price interacts with the bearish yellow curve.
ETF#14-TLT-Long Government
received a
buy signal from both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant models on Apr
27, 2010. It is up 8.1% since those buy signals, annualizing at 52.3%.
This ETF is increasing its bullish attributes. It is usually contrarian to
the overall stock market, which adds to an increased overall stock market
bearish prognosis.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy for
ETF#31-QID on Thursday, May 13, 2010. It is up 3.9% since then,
annualizing at 34.7%.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled sell for QID on March 26, 2009. It is down
62.1% since then. The Quick-term Indicant will not signal buy until it
contacts the bearish yellow curve, which is valued at $20.19 and still
falling. Its rate of decline is slowing.

Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report - Summary
As stated the past few days, the only
remaining short-term attribute offering potential resistance to the stock
market bear is the Quick-term Bearish Yellow Curve. Unfortunately, this
resistance has been pathetic until the past few days, where the bull
successfully argued with bearish ambition.
Force Vectors are at maximums. This
suggest imminent non-bullishness with increasing probabilities of strong
bearishness. If they meander or continue their increase, bearish bias may
be voided in favor of bullish bias. The probability of that is low at this
time.
Continue considering bullish behavior
as mere bullish spurts in the face of a dominant short-term bear.
Put options are appealing.
Near-term, Quick-term, Short-term Indicant Stock Market Details
The
Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears.
The VIX is
the lone NTI bull. It is up 8.0% since the bull signal 7.9-weeks ago. That

bullish configuration, but disappointing to the VIX bull the absence of a
bullish bounce off of NTI-Green.
The
Near-term Indicant is signaling bear for the remaining eleven indices.
They are down by an average of 0.2% since their bear signals an average of
6.4-weeks ago.
The

Indicant Volume Indicators
Volume indicators remain lethargic, as
the previous robust cycle expired several days ago. Some of this
contemporary lethargy is traced to seasonal behavior. The expiring
robustness configured during solid bearish expressions during May and
early June. Therefore, volume relationships are biased in favor of the
bear.
(Recent
chronological observations are expressed below in reverse order).
Jun 18,
2010-Fri-Seasonally low volume on flat stock market behavior offers
nothing on bias shift. The stock market remains with bearish bias on a
short-term basis.
Jun 17,
2010-Thu-Same old story. Bearish bias remains on weak volume.
Jun 16,
2010-Wed-Low volume on meandering behavior is not indicative of bias
shift. It remains bearish.
Jun 15,
2010-Tue-Impressive bullish behavior on mediocre volume does not warrant a
bias shift. It remains bearish.
Jun 14,
2010-Mon-Again low volume will not shift from bearish bias.
Jun 11,
2010-Fri-Very low volume on mild bullishness continues in support of
bearish bias on a short-term basis.
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 three ETF’s. They are up by an
average of 6.1%, annualizing at 34.2%, since their buy signals an average
of 9.3-weeks ago.
The NTI is
avoiding 28-ETF’s. They are up an average of 1.0% since their sell signals
an average of 4.8-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant generated no buy signals and no sell signals.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling hold for 13-ETF’s. They are up an average
of 36.1% since their buy signals an average of 53.7-weeks ago. Those with
hold signals are annualizing at 35.0%.
The
Quick-term Indicant is avoiding 18-ETF’s. They are up by an average of
1.4% since their sell signals an average of 6.7-weeks ago. These avoided
ETF’s include contrarian QID, which is down 63.3% since its QTI sell
signal over a year ago on Mar 26, 2009.
Near-term
Indicant ETF Key Attributes
NTI Blue
Bull Count; 26-non-contrarians; no bullish support, as recent bullishness
is a mere spurt.
NTI Blue
Curve Trend: several of non-contrarians shifted north, reflecting bullish
spurt behavior as opposed to bullish sustainability.
NTI Green
Bear Potential Count; all non-contrarians; there is no near-term
non-bearish support.
NTI Green
Curve Trend; none of the non-contrarians are sloping north; no non-bearish
support.
Quick-term
Indicant ETF Key Attributes
QTI Red Bull
Count; no non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI Bullish
Red Curve Trend; None of the non-contrarians are sloping north and without
bullish support.
QTI Bearish
Yellow Curve Trend; nine non-contrarians are sloping north, highlighting
non-bearishness along a slower moving plane. As stated the past few days,
this non-bullish attribute is under bearish threat. This normally
resistive level is acquiescing to the bear’s desire without much fight
until the past five days. Keep in mind, this is merely resisting the bear;
not defeating it.
The
Short-term Indicant ETF Key Attributes:
STI Force
Vector Direction; all non-contrarians moving bullishly. As stated last May
26, do not be surprised at a mild bullish spurt, followed by more bearish
aggression in the next five to ten days. You saw that three weeks ago.
Another bullish spurt is underway. Do not be surprised at more bearishness
in the next few weeks. This spurt may have some sustainability of
days/weeks and not months. The bear remains dominant.
STI Force
Vector Position; twenty-five non-contrarians are populating bullish
domains, but temporarily so. Force Vectors are peaking and primed to
support bearish behavior. If Force does not fall sharply, then bearish
prognoses may be adjusted.
Vector
Pressure Position; None of non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no
bullish support and increasing bearish support.
Vector
Pressure Trend; 24-of the non-contrarians are moving north, reflecting the
bullish spurt; there is very limited bullish support and increasing
bearish support.
Short-term
Summary: Most attributes are supporting the Short-term Bear.
Contrarian Funds
ETF#03-Natural Resources.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled sell on May 7, 2010. It is up 1.1% since that
sell signal. The Quick-term Indicant signaled sell on May 20, 2010, as its
price fell below QTI Bearish yellow curve. It is up 6.6% since the QTI
sell signal. Pressure remains in bearish domains and thus non-threatening
to its bearish prognosis.
ETF#11-Gold and Precious Metals
is up 52.3%
since the QTI signaled buy on December 11, 2008. Annualized growth is at
34.0%. Bearish yellow is a good price to set stop losses for a longer-term
hold position, which is at $105.49 and still rising.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy on Mar 2, 2010. It is up 10.6% since that
buy signal, annualizing at 35.5%.
Click
this sentence for additional charting and current forecasting of the
actual price of gold.
As stated
for the last year-plus months, gold remains fundamentally sound for
long-term holding and a technical measure of authenticity in that
assessment is in its bearish yellow curve. If it crosses below bearish
yellow, you will not want to be holding. The Quick-term Indicant will
highlight that potential when this occurs. A strengthening dollar is
somewhat of an evolving threat to gold, but again, continue holding until
the price interacts with the bearish yellow curve.
ETF#14-TLT-Long Government
received a
buy signal from both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant models on Apr
27, 2010. It is up 7.2% since those buy signals, annualizing at 49.6%.
This ETF is increasing its bullish attributes. It is usually contrarian to
the overall stock market, which adds to an increased overall stock market
bearish prognosis.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy for
ETF#31-QID on Thursday, May 13, 2010. It is up 0.6% since then,
annualizing at 6.0%.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled sell for QID on March 26, 2009. It is down
63.3% since then. The Quick-term Indicant will not signal buy until it
contacts the bearish yellow curve, which is valued at $20.26 and still
falling. Its rate of decline is slowing.
Major ETF Events
Jun 18, 2010-Fri-As usual, there was
little volatility on this quadruple witching day.
Jun 17, 2010-Thu-Attributes solidified
in their position of a bearish response to recent bullish behavior.
Jun 16, 2010-Wed-Force Vector are at
prior maximums. This suggests a reversal, which should encourage bearish
behavior. If they meander or continue to increase, bias may change to
bullish, depending on the behavior of other attributes. However,
probabilities are high for immediate non-bullishness (at best) to strong
bearishness (at worse).
Jun 15, 2010-Tue-Strong bullish
behavior challenged the bear, as prices continue recoiling from the QTI
bearish yellow curve. Unfortunately, this bullish behavior remains
configured as a mere bullish spurt.
Jun 14, 2010-Mon-None.
Current Strategy-Short-term Indicant- Jun 18, 2010-Same. Jun 17, 2010-Same.
Jun 16, 2010-Wed-Same. Jun 15, 2010-Tue-Do not believe recent bullishness.
Too many short-term attributes are not shifting in support of bullish
sustainability. Jun 14, 2010-Mon-The expected choppiness has occurred, but

Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report - Summary
As stated the past few days, the only
remaining short-term attribute offering potential resistance to the stock
market bear is the Quick-term Bearish Yellow Curve. Unfortunately, this
resistance has been pathetic until the past few days, where the bull has
successfully argued with bearish ambition.
Force Vectors are at maximums. This
suggest imminent non-bullishness with increasing probabilities of strong
bearishness. If they meander or continue their increase, bearish bias may
be voided in favor of bullish bias. The probability of that is low at this
time.
Continue considering bullish behavior
as mere bullish spurts in the face of a dominant short-term bear.
Put options are appealing.
Near-term, Quick-term, Short-term Indicant Stock Market Details
The
Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears.
The VIX is
the lone NTI bull. It is up 8.7% since the bull signal 7.3-weeks ago. That
annualizes at 61.9%. It is has fallen to NTI bearish green. That is a
bullish configuration. If the VIX is not bullish in the next day or two,
the near-term survivability of this VIX bull is questionable. Its bearish
cycle Force Vector is mature, inviting an imminent bullish response. The
nature of that response will add some obviations of directional intensity.
The
Near-term Indicant is signaling bear for the remaining eleven indices.
They are up by an average of 0.2% since their bear signals an average of
5.8-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears. QTI bear
signals this past May were the first since July 2009.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bull for six major indices. They are up
by an average of 32.9%, annualizing at 33.2%, since their bull signals an
average of 51.5-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bear for six indices. They are up by an
average of 5.0% since their bear signals an average of 5.3-weeks ago.
Their bullishness remains configured as a bullish spurt and unsustainable.
-Short-term Trend Sensitive Attributes
(Includes Near-term and Quick-term)
Quick-term Attributes (This is a
longer cycle than Near-term cycles)
QTI-Red Bull Count; No non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI-Bullish Red Curve Trend; Five
non-contrarians moving bullishly; weakening bullish support.
QTI-Yellow Bear Count; None of
the non-contrarians are below the bearish yellow curve, but bearish
gravitational forces continue.
QTI-Bearish Yellow Curve Trend;
Non-bearish minority with five of 11-non-contrarian indices in non-bearish
trend, supporting non-bearish bias along this slower cycle. However, even
this strong resistance point is losing its capacity to do so, although
recently offering some resistance to bearish ambition.
The Quick-term Indicant is no longer
supportive of the QTI Bull due recent bear signals.
Near-term Attributes (This
is a shorter cycle than the Quick-term cycles)
NTI-Blue Bull Count; ten
non-contrarians; no near-term bullish support, as this reflects recent
spurt behavior.
NTI-Bullish Blue Curve Trend; All
non-contrarians sloping negatively; no bullish support.
NTI-Bearish Green Curve Trend;
All non-contrarians sloping negatively; no non-bearish support.
The Near-term attributes continue
inflecting with an increasing bias, favoring the bear. Both NTI Bullish
Blue and NTI Bearish Green are sloping south and thus solidly bearish on a
near-term basis.
Short-term Force Vectors
and Pressure Attributes
STI-Force Vector Domain Position;
Ten of the non-contrarians are in bullish domains offering no bullish
support since configurations indicate a bullish spurt as opposed to
sustainability. They are configuring in support of non-bullishness at
best, more bearishness at worse.
STI-Force Vector Position
Relative to Vector Pressure; Nine of the non-contrarians are above
Pressure but not offering bullish support. Just reflecting bullish spurt
behavior.
STI-Force Vector Direction; Ten
of the non-contrarians are moving north. However, there is no bullish
potential manifesting. As stated the past few days, they are ominously
configured in support of additional bearish behavior.
STI-Vector Pressure Trend; None
of the non-contrarian indices are moving bullishly; no bullish support.
STI-Vector Pressure Position;
Zero non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no bullish support.
Short-term Market Summary
Short-term attributes are
supporting the bear. Vector Pressure is not offering bullish hope. The
last line of defense against the bear is the Quick-term bearish yellow
curve. This potential resistance remains, but enduring pricing proximity
and related threats by the bear. You should have noticed some of that
resistant behavior the past few days. That is all it is; just resisting
the bear; not defeating it.

Near-term
Indicant ETF Key Attributes
NTI Blue
Bull Count; 24-non-contrarians; no bullish support, as recent bullishness
is a mere spurt.
NTI Blue
Curve Trend: none of non-contrarians are sloping north; offering no
bullish support.
NTI Green
Bear Potential Count; all non-contrarians; there is no near-term
non-bearish support.
NTI Green
Curve Trend; none of the non-contrarians are sloping north; no non-bearish
support.
Quick-term
Indicant ETF Key Attributes
QTI Red Bull
Count; no non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI Bullish
Red Curve Trend; None of the non-contrarians are sloping north and without
bullish support.
QTI Bearish
Yellow Curve Trend; nine non-contrarians are sloping north, highlighting
non-bearishness along a slower moving plane. As stated the past few days,
this non-bullish attribute is under bearish threat. This normally
resistive level is acquiescing to the bear’s desire without much fight
until the past four days. Keep in mind, this is merely resisting the bear;
not defeating it.
The
Short-term Indicant ETF Key Attributes:
STI Force
Vector Direction; all non-contrarians moving bullishly. As stated last May
26, do not be surprised at a mild bullish spurt, followed by more bearish
aggression in the next five to ten days. You saw that two weeks ago.
Another bullish spurt is underway. Do not be surprised at more bearishness
in the next few weeks. This spurt may have some sustainability of
days/weeks and not months. The bear remains dominant.
STI Force
Vector Position; twenty-six non-contrarians are populating bullish
domains, but temporarily so. Force Vectors are peaking and primed to
support bearish behavior. If Force does not fall sharply, then bearish
prognoses may be adjusted.
Vector
Pressure Position; None of non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no
bullish support and increasing bearish support.
Vector
Pressure Trend; 15-of the non-contrarians are moving north; there is very
limited bullish support and increasing bearish support.
Short-term
Summary: Most attributes are supporting the Short-term Bear.
Contrarian Funds
ETF#03-Natural Resources.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled sell on May 7, 2010. It is up 1.1% since that
sell signal. The Quick-term Indicant signaled sell on May 20, 2010, as its
price fell below QTI Bearish yellow curve. It is up 6.6% since the QTI
sell signal. Pressure remains in bearish domains and thus non-threatening
to its bearish prognosis.
ETF#11-Gold and Precious Metals
is up 49.2%
since the QTI signaled buy on December 11, 2008. Annualized growth is at
32.1%. Bearish yellow is a good price to set stop losses for a longer-term
hold position, which is at $105.24 and still rising.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy on Mar 2, 2010. It is up 8.4% since that
buy signal, annualizing at 28.5%.
Click
this sentence for additional charting and current forecasting of the
actual price of gold.
As stated
for the last year-plus months, gold remains fundamentally sound for
long-term holding and a technical measure of authenticity in that
assessment is in its bearish yellow curve. If it crosses below bearish
yellow, you will not want to be holding. The Quick-term Indicant will
highlight that potential when this occurs. A strengthening dollar is
somewhat of an evolving threat to gold, but again, continue holding until
the price interacts with the bearish yellow curve.
ETF#14-TLT-Long Government
received a
buy signal from both the Near-term and Quick-term Indicant models on Apr
27, 2010. It is up 6.5% since those buy signals, annualizing at 46.6%.
This ETF is increasing its bullish attributes. It is usually contrarian to
the overall stock market, which adds to an increased overall stock market
bearish prognosis.
The
Near-term Indicant signaled buy for
ETF#31-QID on Thursday, May 13, 2010. It is up 1.3% since then,
annualizing at 14.0%.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled sell for QID on March 26, 2009. It is down
63.0% since then. The Quick-term Indicant will not signal buy until it
contacts the bearish yellow curve, which is valued at $20.33 and still
falling. Its rate of decline is slowing.
Major ETF Events
Jun 16, 2010-Wed-Force Vector are at
prior maximums. This suggests a reversal, which should encourage bearish
behavior. If they meander or continue to increase, bias may change to
bullish, depending on the behavior of other attributes. However,
probabilities are high for immediate non-bullishness (at best) to strong
bearishness (at worse).
Jun 15, 2010-Tue-Strong bullish
behavior challenged the bear, as prices continue recoiling from the QTI
bearish yellow curve. Unfortunately, this bullish behavior remains
configured as a mere bullish spurt.

Current Strategy-Short-term Indicant- Jun 16, 2010-Wed-Same. Jun 15,
2010-Tue-Do not believe recent bullishness. Too many short-term attributes
are not shifting in support of bullish sustainability. Jun 14,
2010-Mon-The expected choppiness has occurred, but configuring for
additional bearishness.

Stock Market Report
Short-term Indicant Stock Market Report - Summary
As stated the past few days, the only
remaining short-term attribute offering potential resistance to the stock
market bear is the Quick-term Bearish Yellow Curve. Unfortunately, this
resistance has been pathetic until the past few days.
Continue considering bullish behavior
as mere bullish spurts in the face of a dominant short-term bear.
Near-term, Quick-term, Short-term Indicant Stock Market Details
The
Near-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears.
The VIX is
the lone NTI bull. It is up 12.0% since the bull signal 7.0-weeks ago.
That annualizes at 89.3%. It is has fallen to NTI bearish green. That is a
bullish configuration. If the VIX is not bullish, the near-term
survivability of this bull is questionable.
The
Near-term Indicant is signaling bear for the remaining eleven indices.
They are up by an average of 0.1% since their bear signals an average of
5.5-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant signaled no new bulls and no new bears. QTI bear
signals this past May were the first since July 2009.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bull for six major indices. They are up
by an average of 33.7%, annualizing at 34.2%, since their bull signals an
average of 51.2-weeks ago.
The
Quick-term Indicant is signaling bear for six indices. They are up by an

-Short-term Trend Sensitive Attributes
(Includes Near-term and Quick-term)
Quick-term Attributes (This is a
longer cycle than Near-term cycles)
QTI-Red Bull Count; No non-contrarians; no bullish support.
QTI-Bullish Red Curve Trend; Five
non-contrarians moving bullishly; weakening bullish support.
QTI-Yellow Bear Count; Five of
the non-contrarians are inflicted with this bearish attribute. This has
increased the probability of extending the bear’s breadth and magnitude.
Keep in mind this can also reinvigorate the bull, but this remains a much
lower probability in spite of recent bullish spurt behavior.
QTI-Bearish Yellow Curve Trend;
Non-bearish minority with five of 11-non-contrarian indices in non-bearish
trend, supporting non-bearish bias along this slower cycle. However, even
this strong resistance point is losing its capacity to do so, although
recently offering some resistance to bearish ambition.
The Quick-term Indicant is no longer
supportive of the QTI Bull due recent bear signals. Keep in mind, not all
of the major indices have fallen below their respective QTI bearish yellow
curves. Although some expected resistance occurred the past several days,
it was pathetic. Initially, that encouraged the bear, but some resistive
potential remains.
Near-term Attributes (This
is a shorter cycle than the Quick-term cycles)
NTI-Blue Bull Count; ten
non-contrarians; no near-term bullish support, as this reflects recent
spurt behavior.
NTI-Bullish Blue Curve Trend; All
non-contrarians sloping negatively; no bullish support.
NTI-Bearish Green Curve Trend;
All non-contrarians sloping negatively; no non-bearish support.
The Near-term attributes continue
inflecting with an increasing bias, favoring the bear. Both NTI Bullish
Blue and NTI Bearish Green are sloping south and thus solidly bearish on a
near-term basis.
Short-term Force Vectors
and Pressure Attributes
STI-Force Vector Domain Position;
Nine of the non-contrarians are in bullish domains offering no bullish
support since configurations indicate a bullish spurt as opposed to
sustainability.
STI-Force Vector Position
Relative to Vector Pressure; Nine of the non-contrarians are above
Pressure but not offering bullish support. Just reflecting bullish spurt
behavior.
STI-Force Vector Direction; Ten
of the non-contrarians are moving north. However, there is no bullish
potential manifesting. As stated the past few days, they are ominously
configured in support of additional bearish behavior.
STI-Vector Pressure Trend; None
of the non-contrarian indices are moving bullishly; no bullish support.
STI-Vector Pressure Position;
Zero non-contrarians are in bullish domains; no bullish support.
Short-term Market Summary
Short-term attributes are
supporting the bear. Vector Pressure is not offering bullish hope. The
last line of defense against the bear is the Quick-term bearish yellow
curve. This potential resistance remains, but enduring pricing proximity
and related threats by the bear. You should have noticed some of that
resistant behavior the past few days. That is all it is; just resisting
the bear; not defeating it.
-Tangential Protection –
None!
-Political Climate
– Favorable to bear!
-Reverse Tangential Bearish Detection

We
can now monitor this phenomenon, as we are now enduring a significant
Near-term bearish cycle. The timing is unknown, but there is 100%
confidence the major indices and ETF’s will eventually fall to those
prices noted in the below link.
Click this sentence to the table, highlighting RTP’s (Reverse Tangential
Projections).
The
values and magnitudes are expressed in the table on the website.
Keep in mind
there is 100% confidence in these bearish projections. The problem is not
knowing when, but odds favor before the first half of this
year (2010). Much of this depends on political influences. There will be
some unfavorable influences. There always is. The question is, when?
The Quick-term bearish yellow curve
stands between the above claim and prevailing prices. If prices fall below
this bearish yellow curve, the probability of tangential bearishness in
this cycle will be high. The Dow Utilities moved toward supporting this
phenomenon several weeks ago. A few more major indices joined the Dow
Utilities in the past few weeks.

Near-term Indicant, Quick-term, and Short-term Indicant. The table has
links to charts for each. Each chart contains all three models and there
are two separate buy and sell signals for the Near-term and/or Quick-term
Indicant.
The tour is
still being developed, but most of you are now familiar with the Near-term
bull/bear cycles as well as the tangential protections and reverse
tangential bearish detectors.
Indicant Volume Indicators
Volume indicators remain lethargic, as
the previous robust cycle has expired. Some of this recent lethargy is
traced to seasonal behavior. The expiring robustness configured during
solid bearish expressions during May and early June. Therefore, volume
relationships are biased in favor of the bear.
(Recent
chronological observations are expressed below in reverse order).
