Commentary<\/strong>
\nThis update is late given I am writing after market opens on February 20th, but I want to mark the beginning of a fresh overbought period. <\/p>\n

Given the rest between overbought periods was just one day, one could argue that the last (31-day) overbought period did not really end. I hope in the near future to generate some rules about these specific cases. If this is really just an extension of the last overbought period, then the strategy is to buy the dips and sell quick and to forget about shorting until some other red flag technical emerges (like breaking Feb 19th’s low). But assuming this is a new overbought period, then initiating a small short position makes sense. Let’s call this a “conservative” versus “aggressive” strategy, respectively. For now, I have chosen the aggressive strategy and bought a small handful of SSO puts yesterday.<\/p>\n

Going forward, I will review this new overbought period in the context of immediately following a 31-day overbought period. The analysis may get even more messy than usual, but I think the dual view is appropriate. In this unprecedented era of aggressive money printing and accomodative monetary policy, extreme overbought conditions have become standard fare and must be respected. In fact, I am starting to wonder whether my mental model should be one that assumes the market’s “natural” bias is to converge on overbought periods.<\/p>\n

Here is yesterday’s chart of the S&P 500. The index rallied almost 0.8%. For this kind of pop, I would have expected T2108 to enter the new overbought period with more fanfare. So, I am still very wary that T2108’s reluctant behavior is demonstrating a thinning of participation in the overbought rally.<\/p>\n
