This oversold period was special not only for its flash crash but also for the ability of the S&#038;P 500 to close with a gain WITHOUT first exiting the oversold period. The S&#038;P 500&#8217;s current close leaves it below the high from the oversold period. This relative positioning means buyers still hold a heavy burden of proof for the recovery. The &#8220;good news&#8221; is that the proof will come in the form of a close at or above 2000 which should serve as an important psychological accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2015\/08\/25\/t2108-update-150824\/\" target=\"_blank\">the T2108 trading rules<\/a>, the most conservative investors and traders now have the green light to buy. However, I cannot give the all clear given the technical resistance still in place directly overhead. I identify the first day out of the oversold period as a spot for conservative buying rules because it tends to limit large drawdowns. The biggest losses on the S&#038;P 500 <strong>should<\/strong> now be in the rearview mirror. Conservative buyers can also choose to stop out of new positions if T2108 falls back into oversold territory &#8211; and wait again to buy back into the market. So, buying here is conservative, but it is NOT easy.<\/p>\n<p>I thus consider the aggressive trading rules easier to execute. The aggressive approach that I prefer locked in several buying points that leave me with gains on my collection of ProShares Ultra S&#038;P500 (SSO) shares. Given the NET trading success during the oversold period, I am going to try to wait out the market&#8217;s next moves from here. (Refer to the links at the top of this article for more details on the trading rules. I also summarized them in &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2015\/08\/25\/t2108-update-150824\/\" target=\"_blank\">How To Profit From An EPIC Oversold Period<\/a>.&#8221; Refer to <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/tag\/t2108\/\" target=\"_blank\">previous T2108 Updates<\/a> for descriptions of trades).<\/p>\n<p>Note well that even after the S&#038;P 500 clears the first level of resistance, it will next contend with downward trends on all three major daily moving averages: the 20, 50, and then 200-day moving averages. Given <a href=\"http:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/3494246-how-the-s-and-p-500s-current-breakdown-increases-the-odds-of-further-selling\" target=\"_blank\">the severity of the S&#038;P 500&#8217;s breakdown last month<\/a>, I fully expect the 50 or the 200DMAs to hold stiff in the near-term. So, these lines of resistance represent my final price trading targets. T2108 should also hit overbought levels by that point as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian dollar (FXA) versus the Japanese yen (FXY), AUD\/JPY helped to confirm some kind of a bottom with a tremendous surge off its lows.

The VIX peaked out on the SECOND day of the oversold period. On day 5, the VIX was already below its close from the first oversold day. So, I am a bit disappointed that only my quick flips on ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures (SVXY) have delivered net gains. I am sure on-going backwardation in the VIX futures (their cost is higher now than in the future &#8211; fear of the present is much higher than fear of what might come later) has a LOT to do with the 31.5% loss on SVXY despite the end of the oversold period. I consider this a lesson learned in fading volatility during the oversold period: either flip quickly or wait until the oversold period ends.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30577\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30577\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/150908_SVXY.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/150908_SVXY.png\" alt=\"ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures (SVXY) suffered severe damage during the oversold period.\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/150908_SVXY.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/150908_SVXY-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures (SVXY) suffered severe damage during the oversold period.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Ironically enough, my biggest trade on this day was to FADE Netflix (NFLX). Last week, <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2015\/09\/02\/t2108-update-150901\/\" target=\"_blank\">I removed NFLX from my short list of aggressive buys<\/a>. After it followed through on its latest 50DMA breakdown, I put it on my list of shorts. So, when NFLX gapped up right to the top of the current downward trading channel, I did not hesitate to buy put options. My limit order to sell the put options triggered within an hour as NFLX faded hard. The stock produced a &#8220;bearish engulfing pattern&#8221; where the open and close are outside the previous day&#8217;s open and close (highs and lows). Trading volume was high as NFLX spanned almost the entire width of the trading channel. This very bearish move put NFLX at it lowest close since the breakdown began. <\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30579\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30579\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/150908_NFLX.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/150908_NFLX.png\" alt=\"Netflix (NFLX) follows through on a very bearish 50DMA breakdown\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/150908_NFLX.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/150908_NFLX-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30579\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Netflix (NFLX) follows through on a very bearish 50DMA breakdown<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>With a whopping 95% year-to-date gain, NFLX is still a stock market leader. However, the on-going breakdown below its 50DMA has put the stock in a lagging position as it trades contrary to the end of the oversold period. Will NFLX lead the rest of the market downward again? Or is NFLX&#8217;s days as a leader numbered? Is it finally time for a new crop of leaders to emerge? Apple (AAPL) gave up its leader position shortly after its big earnings gap down. It faces its next big test with another new product announcement (September 9th, 2015). Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG) are still hanging in there as leaders. AMZN close below its 50DMA only twice during the oversold period. Google (GOOG) is pivoting around this critical level of support. Speaking of GOOG, I forgot to mention in the last T2108 Update, that I managed to both my profits on the last set of GOOG call options.
