Comment: Most indexes are beyond overbought. The bulls are hoping for a xmas rally; the bears believe higher interest rates will derail the rally. My opinion: With ridiculous overbought readings and over-exuberance, I will err on the side of caution. It’s too early to short heavily, but too risky to go long. One thing for sure: Many experts, and retail investors, believe this market is unstoppable: Hello 1999 (again).

Comment: The melt-up continues, bringing the indexes into extreme overbought territory. When stocks are in the euphoria stage, it’s too dangerous to chase higher, but too risky to short. Traders: Wait for cracks to appear and be ready to ride it lower (but take most profits quickly) Investors: Stay away from this 1999-type party. It will end in tears, as it always does, but no one can say when.

Comment: We went up too high and too fast. Reversal likely so caution advised. Although market still has a little room to run, it’s not enough to go long. Odds favor the bears in the near future.

RSI: (S&P 500) @ 28.26 = Bullish
Comment: Technical indicators reflect the 9-day losing streak of the S&P 500. The main bright spot is the RSI, and even the VIX, which reflects an oversold market. My gut tells me the market will rally (i.e. bounce) this week, but meanwhile, everyone is holding their breath until the election is over. Institutions are on the sidelines now, but that will change on Wednesday. The 200-day MA should hold at 2,083 unless there is a selling frenzy.
