Breakdowns rippled throughout the stock market even as numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2021\/01\/24\/t2108-update-micro-bubbles-slicing-through-overbought-trading-signals\/\">micro-bubbles<\/a> soared in the opposite direction. A volatility surge clarified the new bearish turn in sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the &#8220;background&#8221;,  the Federal Reserve rolled out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/newsevents\/pressreleases\/monetary20210127a.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">its latest pronouncement on monetary policy<\/a>. Chair Jerome Powell announced no changes, and the press conference was barely newsworthy (in a future post, I will discuss Powell&#8217;s commentary on whether monetary policy is contributing to bubbles in the stock market). Investors and traders were left wondering whether a top finally arrived. Given this selling comes on the heels of days and days of <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2021\/01\/16\/t2108-update-stocks-hold-tenuous-grip-on-overbought-trading-conditions\/\">weakening overbought conditions<\/a>, I strongly suspect that, at a minimum, the upward momentum is over for some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Stock Market Indices<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) broke down below its uptrending 20-day moving average with a 2.4% loss. The move triggered my condition for bearishness, so I added more SPY put spreads to the books; the new ones expire in two Fridays. Next stop should be the uptrending 50DMA (red line below). A fresh close above the 20DMA will likely close down bearish vibes all over again (no need to wait for a new all-time high for that signal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/Ag1wJ2ei\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/Ag1wJ2ei\/\" alt=\"The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) gained 0.9% and stretched for an all-time high.\"\/><\/a><figcaption><strong><em>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/Ag1wJ2ei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S&amp;P 500 (SPY)<\/a> dropped 2.4% and sliced through uptrending 20DMA support.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The NASDAQ (COMPQX) also suffered heavy selling but avoided a 20DMA breakdown. The tech laden index lost 2.6%. Big cap tech earnings this week will help determine whether the NADSAQ quickly joins the S&amp;P 500 in short-term bearish territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/35L23Tyu\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/35L23Tyu\/\" alt=\"The NASDAQ (COMPQX) gained 0.7% to end a week the strung together a series of all-time highs.\"\/><\/a><figcaption><strong><em>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/35L23Tyu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NASDAQ<\/a> (COMPQX) stopped short of 20DMA support with a 2.6% loss.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<br><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1196033822186410\" data-ad-slot=\"3478942445\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><br>\n\n\n\n<p>The iShares Trust Russell 2000 Index ETF (IWM) also avoided a 20DMA breakdown.

The ETF has weakened ever since and led the way in growing bearish signals for the stock market. XLF opened the week with a 20DMA breakdown. Today, it cracked 50DMA support with a 3.0% loss. XLF&#8217;s early 2021 breakout came to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/8iEutoPW\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/8iEutoPW\/\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><figcaption><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/8iEutoPW\/\">Select Sector SPDR Trust Financial<\/a> (XLF) broke through 50DMA support<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stock Market Volatility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The faders in the volatility index (VIX) completely disappeared. The VIX closed at its high of the day with a whopping 61.6% gain that would make a micro-bubble stock proud. Still, the VIX stopped short of its last major peak. I sold my UVXY call options into this surge; I continue to hold UVXY shares (up 31.5% on the day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/UmTm8wX4\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/UmTm8wX4\/\" alt=\"The volatility index (VIX) continues to cling to the 20 threshold.\"\/><\/a><figcaption><strong><em>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/UmTm8wX4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">volatility index (VIX)<\/a> is banging on the floor of support again.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Short-Term Trading Call: Bearish Divergence Resolved to the Downside<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-8746fb62-8c65-4cd8-aa26-5b377e48018f\"><li><strong>AT40<\/strong> = 46.2% of stocks are trading above their respective 40-day moving averages<\/li><li><strong>AT200<\/strong> = 86.6% of stocks are trading above their respective 200-day moving averages (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/kEvtLBg7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TradingView&#8217;s calculation<\/a>).<\/li><li><strong>Short-term Trading Call<\/strong>: cautiously bearish<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/t2108-resource-page\/\">AT40 (T2108)<\/a>, the percentage of stocks trading above their respective 40DMAs, plunged from 63.5% to 46.2%. Bearish divergence resolved with an exclamation point thanks to its extreme move. Given the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s breakdown, I flipped the trading call to (cautiously) bearish as planned. I did not downgrade to fully bearish because the extreme surge in the VIX is not sustainable. While sellers may be able to squeeze a little more juice out the VIX, sudden bursts of fear in the market tend to attract volatility faders and contrary buyers. The prospects of a quick snapback prevent me from getting fully bearish. Moreover, at the current pace, AT40 could soon get &#8220;close enough&#8221; to the oversold threshold of 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> In other words, I am bracing for churn in the outlook for sentiment in the stock market. The upward momentum is likely over but the path downward  likely already experienced its swiftest moment&#8230;at least until the VIX cools off and forms a fresh launching pad&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stock Chart Reviews &#8211; Below the 50DMA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CBOE Global Markets Inc<\/strong> (CBOE)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With all the frenetic trading going on in the stock market, especially in stock options, I was surprised to notice the on-going struggles of CBOE Global Markets Inc (CBOE). CBOE was supposed to be <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2017\/02\/12\/surprising-implications-of-extremely-low-volatility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a good trade on increased volatility in the stock market<\/a>. I accumulated shares but eventually gave up on the stock. CBOE experienced a relatively weak rebound from the March stock market crash and topped out quickly. CBOE finally pulled off a 200DMA breakout last month and enjoyed a brief run. It sold off along with other financials from there. Today, CBOE lost 4.4% and closed below converged support at its 50 and 200DMAs. The setup for a buy is tempting, but I am deferring to my short-term bearish trading call on this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/zY5mzmgR\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/zY5mzmgR\/\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><figcaption><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/zY5mzmgR\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CBOE Global Markets<\/a> (CBOE) finished erasing its last breakout with a 50DMA breakdown.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CME Group<\/strong> (CME)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CME Group (CME) is similar to CBOE. This is a stock I expected to do much better in a frenetic trading environment. CME managed a 200DMA breakout in November and spiked to a new post-crash high before joining financials in a sell-off. The day&#8217;s 2.7% loss completed the reversal of gains from the January 6th breakout. Perhaps a successful test of 20DMA support might coincide with a bullish signal from AT40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/xOJ5ExjO\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/xOJ5ExjO\/\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><figcaption><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/xOJ5ExjO\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CME Group<\/a> (CME) has suffered near non-stop selling pressure since its last peak.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CSX Corp<\/strong> (CSX)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last summer, I expressed <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2020\/07\/04\/t2108-two-speed-stock-market-on-edge\/\">interest in buying railroad company<\/a> CSX Corp (CSX). I was in the early stages of turning my attention to industrial plays. I never pulled the trigger. So when the stock dropped post-earnings, I went ahead and took the leap with a covered call position. The selling continues with the October breakout in danger of a full reversal. At this rate, CSX could easily test 200DMA support. If not for my commitment to this position for a longer time period, CSX would be on my list of potential shorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/rg2p7rKH\/\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><strong><em>Post-earnings selling pressure continues for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/rg2p7rKH\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CSX Corp<\/a> (CSX) on a confirmed 50DMA breakdown. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stock Chart Reviews &#8211; Above the 50DMA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Netflix<\/strong> (NFLX)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I was surprised to see Netflix (NFLX) join the flood of selling. The 6.9% loss continues a big post-earnings fade. NFLX gained 16.9% after releasing earnings and finally broke out to a new all-time high. As a result, I assumed NFLX regained bullish momentum. Instead, sellers took over from there. The post-earnings gap even looks in danger. If NFLX continues with a 200DMA breakdown, the stock goes back on my bear list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/IGVhxlRJ\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/IGVhxlRJ\/\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><figcaption><em style=\"\"><a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/IGVhxlRJ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Netflix<\/a><b> (NFLX) plunged right back into its former trading range as post-earnings <\/b><\/em><strong><em>momentum lasted just a day.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vir Biotechnology<\/strong> (VIR)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This stock is a huge miss. I identified Vir Biotechnology (VIR) as <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2020\/06\/25\/t2108-update-200624\/\">a buy on dips back in June<\/a>. At the time, the stock had cooled off from a brief and sharp speculative run. I was looking for a dip to buy. The dip never quite arrived. However, VIR spent the last two months or so consolidating after its last earnings report. A 50DMA and then a 200DMA breakout this month provided buy signals. By then, VIR slipped off my radar&#8230;until now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somehow, VIR made it all the way to $141 before fading back to a 7.4% gain on the day. The company announced results from a Phase One trial of VIR-3434 for chronic hepatitis B Virus, but received a downgrade from JP Morgan (JPM) for its efforts. JPM slapped a $30 price target on VIR and underweight rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2021\/01\/24\/t2108-update-micro-bubbles-slicing-through-overbought-trading-signals\/\">the environment of micro-bubbles<\/a>, I habitually check short interest on stocks that suddenly launch into the stratosphere. Sure enough, as of December 31st, <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/VIR\/key-statistics?p=VIR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VIR has 20.8% of its float sold short<\/a>.

As a result, when I see a technical setup for a buy, I get on near automatic. Given my bearish trading call, I will wait for a confirmation of 50DMA support before buying (USCR has to close above today&#8217;s intraday high of $42.40).
