UPDATED AS OF FRIDAY'S CLOSE: Traders have been shorting the fangs since 9/3
but they needed a fresh high on FNGD and they didn't get it.
DIVERGENCE:
Middle Panel: QQQ is also down (dashed gray behind FNGU price),
but Bottom Panel: The 1/VXN options traders believe that a QQQ bounce is coming.

9/11  JPM analyst (who is overweight on AAPL with a $150 price target) published a note warning that based on recent surveys from Wave7 Research into sales trends across carriers, iPhone sales are "moderating substantially" ahead of the iPhone 12 launch, partly driven by moderation in iPhone 11 series, as consumers are increasingly looking to wait for the fall launch.

Chart not posted: looks like AAPL tried to double bottom today but it printed a barely lower low then a weak bounce into the close.

Maybe you know the decay problem is purely a math and you didn't mean the lower high as bears are weak. I just wanted to clarify this in case others don't know. So forgive me if you're offended.

No higher high of FNGD is simply because of leveraged fund decay, not a sign of weak bear. It's just a math.

Let's say, Fund A now worth $100, Fund A3X also at $100.

Now say A increase 10% to $110, Fund A3X should increase 30% therefore to $130.

Now say A down 10% which is 110 * 0.9 = 99, A3X should down 30% accordingly, so 130 * 0.7 = 91.

Now say A up 12% which is 99 * 1.12 = 110.88 which back to the previous high. The A3X in theory should be back to $130 right? Let's see: A up 12% so A3X should be up 36% right? So 91 * 1.36 = 123.76 while the A3X previous high was 130, 123.76 is far lower than 130, roughly $7 decay. So again it's a math, you cannot use the lower high to argue that bears are weak. In short, you cannot use leveraged fund to judge the trend.

Thanks Boss. No problem. :D
I'm also using $NYFANG and $ONE:$NYFANG which is the Index and the inverted Index.
No decay there.

I didn't know FNGU and FNGD before so thank you.

However, FNGU and FNGD are ETN so they're not as safe as ETF. That's too bad.

Thank you for explaining the decay on the leveraged ETFs. Always learning something new on this blog.

Maybe they're good for short term play, say, if they go extreme again like Sep 2, then a short would be very attractive. :mrgreen:

From "It is what it is department": A correction stage is active. key focus is Price action, lets see what the Fib measurement is telling us, the correction phase is on going and to guess bottom is dangerous mind game. support and resistance are meant to be broken so are the overbought and oversold can stay embedded longer than ones can stay sober.

short term momentum is still pointing down.
2.PNG
Short term trend is changing from up to down, bulls are in defensive mode now. to overcome this, bulls need to regain price above 5 DMA as soon as possible. I will continue sell the rip as long as we trade under 5 DMA.

Total put/Call $CPC suggests the fund managers are starting to hedge, things can get ugly or not, the caution sign is up. deep buyers is good at the panic level (1.2) not at this level. stay safe and enjoy NFL this weekend. Peace!

MARK HULBERT (the Sentiment Guru)

FWIW: Google trends: The Google search for “stock market crash” peaked on 9/3.
Coincidently the last SPY high was 9/2.

ES five minutes. Up on Sunday from the close on Friday, above Pivot R1. The bulls do not give up easily.
