My favorite technical indicator closed at 41.1% and approaches &#8220;close enough&#8221; oversold territory (the 30s%).

This change in the nature of trading increased the likelihood that the S&#038;P 500 will retest support at its 50DMA within the next two weeks at the current pace. I am guessing the (successful) test will happen just ahead of Black Friday (November 24th) which tends to be <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2013\/03\/14\/historic-black-friday-trade-continues-bullish-path\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a bullish turning point in the market<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The volatility index, the VIX, is actually confirming the downward bias. Despite the consistent efforts of volatility faders, the VIX is up 44% in two weeks with gains 7 of the last 8 trading days. The rally is almost a stealth rally because each day the VIX fades significantly off its intraday high. This is a pattern I finally traded on today.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41483\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41483\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/171115_VIX.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/171115_VIX.jpg\" alt=\"The volatility index, the VIX, is marching toward another rendezvous with the all-important 15.35 pivot line.\" width=\"550\" height=\"498\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41483\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41483\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The volatility index, the VIX, is marching toward another rendezvous with the all-important 15.35 pivot line.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Small caps continue to add to the deteriorating picture.
