pre-open comment Tuesday 3rd September
Friday closed within Mon-Wed Hi-Lo range indicating no bias on the weekly timeframe. Previous week indicated Ineffective Buying and week before that saw Effective Selling.
ES analysis: Last week I marked Aggressive Selling twice early in the week and Responsive Buying twice later in the week. Support was found at the 1627 poc and Resistance at the 1644.50 poc. The 5month poc at 1644.50 has again been probed pre-open today and as I write ES prints just below that level. Bulls would hope time would be printed above this Resistance.
Breadth: The CP Market Timing System remained negative for Nyse, remained neutral for Nasdaq and turned negative (from positive) for UK.
Stocks>50dyma numbers: Nyse 34%, Nasdaq 40%, R2000 33%. Numbers >50 are considered supportive.
Sentiment: My version of the Rydex Assets Ratio ended the week at 3.27. The ratio reached as high as 5.43 at the market May high and as low as 2.15 on 07/10 (which was the lowest ratio since January 2012). VIX high on Friday was the highest since June price low.
