Somewhat Long. Carrying Longs (R2K) and Shorts (SPX).
I have started reducing short at a loss.
I have a stop underneath yesterday's low for the long.
My summation index signals are up.
My composite trend indicator signal went to neutral after the close yesterday.
The thesis for my short was that the rally was a corrective move in a downtrend and that there would be a revisit to the low without breaking trend.
The thesis was pretty well supported by pretty weak technical internals in my trend signal.
However, price sailed through natural resistance, and my trend signal is reversing.
Unless things tank today, my trend signal should go positive.
My long is per a summation index signal setup.
As the R2K got overbought Friday, the trade is under a tight stop tied to the prior day low.
My gut is that we'll have a nice downdraft sometime in the next week, but per risk mgt. the short has to be reduced and perhaps closed.
I imagine there are also a bunch of stops above the June 18 high that may need to get taken out.
It is unusual for a downtrend with the technical profile we just saw to not pay a visit to the lower Keltner band.
So, I will hold that as unfinished bear business for down the road.
Lastly, given the weak internals I have been seeing, I fear we could get some whipsawing signals ahead, which would be a pain in the arse.
