Except THIS oversold period looks ominously different&#8221; &#8211; this is what I said in <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2014\/10\/09\/t2108-update-141009\/\" target=\"_blank\">the last T2108 Update<\/a>, and it turned out to be even more appropriate than I was expecting. Sellers are firming their grip on the market and causing technical damage that may take a very long time to repair without fresh, positive catalysts.<\/p>\n<p>There are at least two very obvious and clear observations anyone active in the stock market can make. No complicated analysis is required to see a bearish chill developing as the major indices break down decisively and as fear accelerates.<\/p>\n<p>The S&#038;P 500 (SPY) slammed right into its 200-day moving average (DMA). It probably avoided a breakdown just because sellers ran out of time before the close. The lower low is the first since February of this year, and it officially breaks the primary uptrend. The lower low in February was the first since the S&#038;P 500 last broke down below its 200DMA in November, 2012. The uptrend defined by the 200DMA is in grave danger.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24953\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24953\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_SP500.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_SP500.png\" alt=\"The S&amp;P 500 slams into is most critical test since the 200DMA last cracked in Nov, 2012\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_SP500.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_SP500-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The S&#038;P 500 slams into is most critical test since the 200DMA last cracked in Nov, 2012<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>The NASDAQ has already broken its primary uptrend as it suffered the hardest brunt of the selling on Friday (October 10th).

What is not nearly as obvious is what to do about it.<\/p>\n<p>Some of your response will depend upon whether you are fundamentally bullish or bearish or agnostic. If you are bearish, I do not have much for you yet except a warning not to chase the market downward with fresh short positions unless you have a LOT of cash to buffer yourself through the inevitable snapbacks. Per the trading call above, you should be peeling off at least SOME positions to lock in profits and give yourself powder to short again at higher prices. If you are bullish, there is plenty of hope for bounces but a warning that the easy part of this bull market may have soundly ended. If you are agnostic, you should enjoy this increase in volatility. So now on to some details and revealing stock charts&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sticking to my T2108 trading rules, I grabbed a second tranche of ProShares Ultra S&#038;P500 (SSO) call options even as I had to bid farewell to an earlier tranche that expired today worthless. This was the half I decided to try to ride after taking profits on <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2014\/10\/08\/t2108-update-141008\/\" target=\"_blank\">the timely bounce on Wednesday, October 8th<\/a>. For good measure, I added to my small gathering of put options on ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures (UVXY). I still did not get as aggressive as I am itching to do because of the critical technical breakdown in the NASDAQ and the S&#038;P 500. The next, and likely the last, buy for this oversold period will happen if the VIX cracks the high from December 28, 2012 of 23.23. <\/p>\n<p>Here are some reminders about the context of the T2108 trading environment.<\/p>\n<p>First, the typical oversold period (below 20%) does not last long: a median of 2 to 3 days and an average of 5 to 6 days. We are on day number 2 now. Given this is the THIRD oversold period in 8 trading days, I think it makes to think of this period as a kind of continuation of the psychological angst characteristic of a deeply entrenched oversold period.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19697\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19697\" style=\"width: 394px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/130908_MeanMediaBelowT2108Threshold.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/130908_MeanMediaBelowT2108Threshold.png\" alt=\"Mean and Median Duration Below Given T2108 Threshold\" width=\"404\" height=\"352\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/130908_MeanMediaBelowT2108Threshold.png 404w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/130908_MeanMediaBelowT2108Threshold-300x261.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19697\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mean and Median Duration Below Given T2108 Threshold<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Second, the 30% underperiod is ticking away toward a dangerzone. T2108 has traded under 30% for 14 days. Not only does the 30% underperiod RARELY last this long, but also in another 4 or 5 trading days, the projection for S&#038;P 500 performance once T2108 trades above 30% again starts turning negative. The S&#038;P 500 first dove under 30% on September 23rd with the S&#038;P 500 closing at 1982.77. Even without this analysis, I find it difficult to imagine buyers can muster up the strength to take the S&#038;P 500 up that high on the next bounce. Another test of 50DMA resistance would be doing well. The 50DMA is currently at 1972.27.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24632\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24632\" style=\"width: 394px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/140924_T2108Below30Threshold.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/140924_T2108Below30Threshold.png\" alt=\"S&amp;P 500 Price Change By Duration Below the T2108 30% Threshold\" width=\"404\" height=\"352\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/140924_T2108Below30Threshold.png 404w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/140924_T2108Below30Threshold-300x261.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24632\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">S&#038;P 500 Price Change By Duration Below the T2108 30% Threshold<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Third, T2108 is trading at an extremely low level. It has not closed at or below 13.5% in over three years. Last week, it traded as low as 13% before bouncing. A close below this level would suggest that the selling pressure is far from over.<\/p>\n<p><em>Click image for larger view&#8230;<\/em><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24954\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24954\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_T2108.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_T2108-300x184.png\" alt=\"T2108 plunges again\" width=\"300\" height=\"184\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-24954\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_T2108-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_T2108.png 611w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24954\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">T2108 plunges again<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center> <\/p>\n<p>Fourth, T2107, the percentage of stocks trading below their 200DMAs, is also now at 3+ year lows with a close at 31.7%. Anyone looking at charts of the stocks and ETFs in their portfolio is now looking at a LOT of broken uptrends&#8230;and getting really nervous as a result. Many of these stocks will take a long time to recover. Collectively, these breakdowns sow the technical and psychological seeds of a more significant sell-off.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24961\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24961\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_T2107.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_T2107.png\" alt=\"An alarming plunge in T2107\" width=\"550\" height=\"401\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_T2107.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_T2107-300x218.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24961\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An alarming plunge in T2107<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Fifth, the Australian dollar versus the Japanese yen (AUD\/JPY) has finally broken down over the last two days and confirmed the sell-off in stocks.

Could the persistent selling finally be over in CAT? Regular readers should recall that I like using CAT as a downside hedge and a confirmation (or early indicator if I am lucky) of trouble for the stock market. The daily chart shows a day of indecision where bulls and bears fought to a stalemate. The intraday chart may provide an even MORE telling story. CAT quickly sank after the open on a surge in volume and bounced sharply and quickly. Sellers hurriedly took control again but could not punch out a fresh low. Buyers were then able to take CAT into positive territory before the stock finally closed near flatline.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24946\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24946\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_CAT.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_CAT.png\" alt=\"CAT reaches a stalemate in the middle of its sharp daily downtrend\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_CAT.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_CAT-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24946\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CAT reaches a stalemate in the middle of its sharp daily downtrend<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_24965\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24965\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_CAT-intraday.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_CAT-intraday.png\" alt=\"Did CAT finally shake its most determined sellers in a surge of volume right after the open?\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_CAT-intraday.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/141010_CAT-intraday-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24965\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Did CAT finally shake its most determined sellers in a surge of volume right after the open?<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>From all this, I have concluded that the S&#038;P 500 is due for a significant bounce in the coming week, but gains must be locked in quickly (no more patiently waiting for high risk trades to grow ever higher profits!). I am likely holding onto my few remaining short positions (all else being equal). The bulls and buyers now have the burden of proof. Resistance is presumed guilty until proven innocent.<\/p>\n<p>The breakdown in the NASDAQ ahead of something similar for the S&#038;P 500 puts tech stocks into (grim) focus. <\/p>\n<p>Google (GOOG) failed at 50DMA resistance on Monday and the very next day sold through its 200DMA support. Trading volume has surged as GOOG has expanded its 200DMA breakdown. If only I had been paying closer attention and buying PUTS this week!
