For more details, see below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have great news, and I have some words of caution. T2108 closed at 61% and is now almost at a three-month high. Great news. On July 25, when T2108 was last at current levels, the S&#038;P 500 closed at 1337 and was right at the edge of its historic 2-week plunge into the second oversold period of the year. The great news here is that I believe this sets up a positive divergence where the index will play catch-up with T2108. On Friday, the S&#038;P 500 closed at its high at 1225, a 2 1\/2 month high that prints a marginal breakout from the previous trading range. The strong close is just what we want to see on a breakout. That is great news. The first word of caution is that this breakout is marginal and only puts the index a few points above the previous trading range. The index will need swift follow-through to generate a convincing breakout.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7722\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7722\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_SP500.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_SP500.png\" alt=\"S&amp;P 500 prints a marginal breakout even as stochastics get overbought and OBV continues trending upward\" title=\"S&amp;P 500 prints a marginal breakout even as stochastics get overbought and OBV continues trending upward\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_SP500.png 500w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_SP500-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7722\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">S&P 500 prints a marginal breakout even as stochastics get overbought and OBV continues trending upward<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>The chart of the S&#038;P 500 contains some other interesting clues. Note well that stochastics are now overbought. At the top of a trading range, such stochastics are a bright red flag. However, while I expect some selling pressure to begin next week, the steady increase in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freestockcharts.com\/help\/Content\/Indicators\/On%20Balance%20Volume.htm#kanchor126\" title=\"Definition of on-balance volume\" target=\"_blank\">on-balance volume<\/a>, or OBV (the summation of up-volume and down-volume), demonstrates steady accumulation since the August lows. This very bullish upward trend is something I am noticing for the first time! If I had noticed it earlier, I would have been even more bullish than I was during the oversold periods. Now, I interpret this pattern to suggest that any pullback from overbought stochastics will be met with eager buying. Thus, I am sticking with my last forecast that T2108 will hit overbought levels before getting oversold again. I will assume the 50DMA will hold as firm support in the face of the next dip.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since VXX, the iPath S&#038;P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures, printed a bearish topping pattern on October 4th, I have been tracking volatility&#8217;s pattern ever more closely for bullish clues. VXX next broke its primary uptrend at the 20DMA and now it has broken down below the even more important 50DMA &#8211; great news. Even though VXX&#8217;s stochastics are now oversold (word of caution), I expect VXX to decline very rapidly from here. Sooner than later, this index should resume its more normal pattern of continual and consistent losses.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7724\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7724\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_VXX.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_VXX.png\" alt=\"VXX has followed up its topping pattern with quick breaks below important upward trend lines\" title=\"VXX has followed up its topping pattern with quick breaks below important upward trend lines\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_VXX.png 500w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_VXX-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7724\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">VXX has followed up its topping pattern with quick breaks below important upward trend lines<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7727\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7727\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_VXX-weekly.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_VXX-weekly.png\" alt=\"Departures from the overall downward trend have been relatively brief for VXX\" title=\"Departures from the overall downward trend have been relatively brief for VXX\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_VXX-weekly.png 500w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/111014_VXX-weekly-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7727\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Departures from the overall downward trend have been relatively brief for VXX<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>In parallel, the VIX, the volatility index has finally broken down below its trading range.

I think hedge fund manager Doug Kass makes for a particularly interesting case given he was very bullish at the market lows the prior week.<\/p>\n<p>On October 5th, <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2011\/10\/05\/t2108-update-111004\/\" title=\"T2108 Update \u2013 October 4, 2011 (One Day Bear Market?)\" target=\"_blank\">I added hedge fund manager Doug Kass as one of several bullish indicators<\/a> when he tweeted that he had increased his recommended equity allocation from 65% to 70%. That day (Oct 4th) was a major bullish reversal that launched the current rally. Kass has now backed off his bullishness, as he clearly biases his trading toward a continuation of the trading range. He spent all of last week in a bearish mood even as the S&#038;P 500 rose 6% from Monday&#8217;s (Oct 10) open to Friday&#8217;s (Oct 14) close. Here are his relevant tweets (as-is) over the course of the week listed in chronological order:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oct 10<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>I shorted soem Spiders at 117.60 to balance out my long stock book . Outsized rreaction to Euro news.<\/li>\n<li>If Sunday&#8217;s Eurozone deal was so great &#8211; why, I ask, are the European bourses&#8217; rally so tepid???<\/li>\n<li>I shorted some more Spyders at 118.9 &#8211; to put me in a slightlynet short position.<\/li>\n<li>I am ending the day slightly net short and I feel &#8220;relatively&#8221; comfortbable there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Oct 11<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>On RealMoney Pro &#8211; I am taking down my long exposure in Kass Model Portfolio from 70% to 50% now<\/li>\n<li>I added to my Spyder short at 119.3 just now.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Oct 12<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>one thing that should give the bulls some pause is that the qqq has been relatively flat all day after the early spike..<\/li>\n<li>another potential near term concern is that apple is trading at the days low now<\/li>\n<li>take a look at intraday charts of qqq and apple on realmoneypro that i just posted. the relative weakness &#8211; s term headwinds for market.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Oct 13<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Redness<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The S&#038;P 500 rallied back from its losses on Thursday, Oct 13th. The index quickly painted over the &#8220;redness,&#8221; changing to major green the next day. Kass provided no market-related tweets as the market rallied strongly. I can only assume he is gathering his thoughts as he finds himself more bearish than he has been in a while. Note well that dropping recommended equity exposure from 70% to 50% in one day &#8211; as the S&#038;P 500 struggled to hit 1200 &#8211; is a major move. In parallel with the increasing shorts on the S&#038;P 500, Kass is essentially betting that the trading range will hold firm. As the market works off its overbought stochastics, I am sure he will tweet his vindication.<\/p>\n<p>However, if a bull (or at least non-bear) like Kass can so quickly move against the market at the top of the previous trading range, imagine what the true bears have done ever since assuming the fresh 52-week lows on October 4th signaled the beginning of a lasting bear market and a quick tumble to 1000? The bears have PLENTY of fundamental reasons to explain and expect lower stock prices. They are now caught leaning the wrong way in a major way. A follow-through on the current breakout should swiftly take the S&#038;P 500 to the 200DMA resistance on short-covering and the buying of anyone who feels &#8220;the train is leaving the station.&#8221; For example, rising prices are helping to push investor sentiment upward: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bespokeinvest.com\/thinkbig\/2011\/10\/13\/investor-sentiment-rises-for-third-straight-week.html\" title=\"Bespoke Investment\" target=\"_blank\">Investor Sentiment Rises For Third Straight Week<\/a>&#8221; (hat tip to @StockJockey for the link).<\/p>\n<p>My trading call in this post recognizes there is a high enough probability that the trading range holds to warrant taking some profits here. For example, I finally sold my &#8220;euro-bounce&#8221; play EWG, the iShares MSCI Germany Index Fund, even as it continues along its impressive breakout. <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/DrDuru\" title=\"Dr. Duru's twitter feed\" target=\"_blank\">I tweeted<\/a> the trade and indicated that EWG is a buy on dips. I also bought October calls on VXX assuming that if the trading range holds firm, this event will generate a sharp (and brief) increase in volatility. However, overall, I remain focused on T2108 hitting overbought levels before backing off my bullishness. Even if the process takes some time, volatility will likely plummet along the way. Accordingly, I bought November puts on VXX (twice the number of Oct calls).<\/p>\n<p>Taken all together, the bullish indicators that have grown for two trading weeks continue to converge on a major breakout. It is too bad T2108 is also approaching overbought status, but, as always, I will evaluate the T2108 trades one step at a time.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<em>Charts below are the <strong>latest<\/strong> snapshots of T2108 (and the S&#038;P 500)<\/em><br \/>\nRefresh browser if the charts are the same as the last T2108 update.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daily T2108 vs the S&#038;P 500<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.drduru.com\/money\/charts\/T2108-daily_s.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.drduru.com\/money\/charts\/T2108-daily_s.png\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" alt=\"T2108 vs. the S&#038;P 500 (DAILY)\" title=\"T2108 vs. the S&#038;P 500 (DAILY)\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Black line: T2108 (measured on the right); Green line: S&#038;P 500 (for comparative purposes)<br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<strong>Weekly T2108<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.drduru.com\/money\/charts\/T2108-weekly_s.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.drduru.com\/money\/charts\/T2108-weekly_s.png\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" alt=\"Weekly T2108\" title=\"Weekly T2108\"><br \/>\n*<strong>T2108 charts created using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freestockcharts.com\/\" title=\"Freestockcharts.com\" target=\"_blank\">freestockcharts.com<\/a><\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related links:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.drduru.com\/money\/T2108.htm\">The T2108 Resource Page<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.drduru.com\/money\/charts\/T2108-daily.jpg\">Expanded daily chart of T2108 versus the S&#038;P 500<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.drduru.com\/money\/charts\/T2108-weekly.jpg\">Expanded weekly chart of T2108 <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Be careful out there!<\/p>\n<p>Full disclosure: long SSO, long puts and calls on VXX<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(T2108 measures the percentage of stocks trading above their respective 40-day moving averages [DMAs].
