\nGeneral (Short-term) Trading Call<\/strong>: Hold. Continue identifying new shorts.<\/p>\n

Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n

OK. Now the stock market is teasing and tantalizing us. T2108 closed at 69% for a second day, a hair below the 70% threshold that places the market in overbought territory. Moreover, the abandoned baby top on the index is still holding firm as resistance (this ominous technical pattern occurred at the July top on the 8th of the month<\/a>). <\/p>\n

I think aggressive traders can declare the current T2108 “close enough” and feel comfortable opening fresh shorts here with a stop set at the top of the abandoned baby pattern – 135.70 on SPY where the pattern is clear. You can think of the July highs on the S&P 500 has the main test for that index. <\/p>\n

If instead you decide to wait for an official T2108 overbought reading, you might as well also wait to see whether the stock market can CLOSE with news highs for the month. Otherwise, if T2108 fades from here, shorting below Friday’s low could provide another point of entry.<\/p>\n
