Once again we are trading near bearish territory but I don’t mean to attach any directional bias via this post’s title. We all have seen major support come and go many times over the past few years. In most cases they served as great opportunities for the bulls to BTFD. Now clearly market conditions are shifting and the bearish case has been gaining a lot of credence over the past few months. However short of having a crystal ball the best we can do is to position ourselves appropriately near important inflection points and monitor the tape carefully for early clues. But have no fear – the Mole is on the case, as usual.

2015-07-28_spoos_briefing

We are actually enjoying quite a bit of context right now and I plan to take full advantage of that. The spoos are now testing a weekly NLSL near 2063 and thus far it’s holding. Should we close the week below it then the trend will most likely switch to the downside. So this will be a key week and that’s exciting!

I’ve moved my trailing stop covering my remaining shorts near the 100-hour SMA. May be a bit tight but unfortunately there’s no NLBL or old NLSL to bolster resistance. Sometimes you just have to make due with what you got.

2015-07-28_NQ_briefing

The NQ thus far the strongest of the bunch and here our inflection point is 4550 – above it we are pretty much in bullish territory. Below it we may be testing the 100-day SMA but there’s a LOT of support to still be taken out – so call me skeptical.

2015-07-28_YM_briefing

The YM clearly is the most bearish index here and after scaring the children a little we bounced higher here overnight. Which however does establish 17319 as our bearish inflection point. If the YM goes then the ES and NQ may follow suit.

In general seeing such discrepancy between the three horsemen are not the hallmarks of a healthy equities market. Which is why I am considering the bearish case at this point – but I’m most definitely respecting all that support that still lays below us.

Bonds – the 30 year now in shake out mode and I think it’s a plausible buy near 154 – if we get that low.

2015-07-28_EURCAD_briefing

EUR/CAD – also correcting and that would be expected after that first stab higher. Nice entry opportunity IMNSHO near the 100-hour SMA which is strongly rising now.
