The NYMO cycle is UP, but the high may be in.
We have been making a series of lower highs and lower lows, but until the oscillator goes negative, the model stays up as this action could be corrective rather than reversal.
We have now hit the Upper Turn Zone twice and the response to each has been price consolidation.
Time will tell whether the consolidation we are in now morphs to continuation or reversal.
I don't know what will happen.
We have two nearby open price gaps, one from yesterday's close and one at SPX 3991.73.
I will hazard a guess that both will get closed by the end of the week, but don't plan on it.
The 200 MA (4061.97) is coming down to meet us and so is a declining tops line (4115).
If price gets there, the reaction could be informative.
The upper keltner band is on the rise, which makes it tougher for bulls to win the bias.
I remain long an SPX runner position with a trailing profit stop.
This market is quite strange insofar as my usual NYMO model setups have remained flat.
Interestingly, while NYMO is positive, my oscillator calculations for the individual indexes (SPX and R2K) are negative. Hmmm.
Also, the price action has been jerky with consolidation, which has not provided conditions for a clean entry.
So, under the hood, things remain kinda funky.
I probably won't do anything this week, though I will pay attention Friday. Sometimes that is a kickoff day.
We also have FOMC minutes Wednesday just as everyone wants to head out for the holiday.
A break up may have me add long and a break down could get me short. We shall see...
Happy Thanksgiving.
