Special Report July 31, 2008

Big board's bear cycle is historically mature in magnitude suggesting expiration of dynamic bearishness. Bearish Force Vector, Fv, is mature and nestled just above Vector Pressure. As you can there have been two bullish spurts and three sustaining bullish cycles since early 2007. In essence each yellow inflection point is succeeded by sustainable reversals or spurts. The bullish spurts since early 2007 have ranged from four to eight weeks. Historical standards suggest this will be a spurt followed by deep bearish expressions before the heart and soul of bullish seasonality.
Indicant Volume Indicator has pinnacled, suggesting little interest in obviating continuing bearishness. Declining volume should invoke more jittery volatility with noise in both bullish and bearish direction, but with a mild underlying bullish bias. Once the volume's lethargic cycle completes, cyclical and possible trend obviations should manifest. Solidification of directional intensity most likely occurs after August option expiration, 8/15/08F and that directional intensity could be either way. What is being called in this embryonic stage is a bullish spurt and after option expirations, obviating factors should manifest.
NASDAQ volume has also slacked. It's recent robust cycle was not as crisp as the big boards. Although the NASDAQ endured a bearish cycle, it was incongruent with other major indices, suggesting less bearish commitment. The only issue confronting bullish possibilities is the lack of lead-in volume.
VIX Index bullish yellow cycle is coming under bear attack, which suggests overall stock market non-bearish for a few weeks or longer. It's bullish red curve collapsed at a lower maximum than previous red bull collapse. Cyclically, this is non-bearish for stock market. Regardless of pundit mumbo-jumbo, the VIX is not entirely irrational. It is knowing when and when not to look at it.
NASDAQ bearish yellow inflecting. Notice recent inflections shifted with two head-fake bull rallies since January 2007 and three bull cycles approximating a quarter duration. Probability of a compertz wave curve with bearish resumption within three weeks is less than 33%. Probability of a 8-12 week bullish cycle (no spurt) at greater than 72%. However, do not be surprised at wild day to day volatility. There will be little fundamental reason for this behavior. It is the stock market, where emotional variables can drive significant spurts which can lead to appropriate fundamental adjustments. The real bear remains scheduled for 2009, where $200+ oil will be tantamount.
ETF#10-IBB-Health is up over 10% since QTI signaled buy on July 10. Do not be surprised at some profit taking here, but the money will rotate within the sectors.
The QTI signaled sell today for ETF#31 - QID - Bear Market with only a 6.1% gain since late June's buy signal. Some of you made more with the stop loss sell at $44.50 after it crossed $48 several days ago. You will notice Vector Pressure moving south as this fund never found comfort above bullish red curve. Once this bearish cycle completes it will be reassessed on the near-term horizon. Do not be surprised at jittery nervousness as Vector Pressure crosses into its bearish domains. The market is set for some pretty wild volatility.
