Net Short. Holding longs and shorts.
My summation signal is down.
My composite trend signal is up with some technical damage done yesterday.
I'm juggling positions around mixed signals.
As much as yesterday was down, I can't conclude that the character of the market has changed.
The VIX tagged new lows yesterday, and the high didn't even break 14.
Thus, it was a very orderly and calm decline yesterday with the fingerprints of the market operations we have been seeing lately but larger.
So, yesterday was bearish but I suspect more ups and downs ahead instead of a clean trend.
I have both summation and trend setups on now with different time horizons and objectives.
I'll be adding and subtracting to these positions as things unfold with a view toward managing through OPEX and Month end.
So, my net position will fluctuate.
I have a guess that we may have to wait until February before the trend clarifies.
Even if the market progresses southward this week, I would think the bulls would still want to attempt a charge for month end.
Everyone will be watching the "January Barometer," which is not looking good at the moment.
