Updates 1:11 PM EST- Tuesday 1/19/21
​
$SPX $NDX IWM continuing to rise
Yesterday we wrote: "there is a higher probability that  $SPX $NDX IWM may continue rising up this coming week."   

And this scenario is unfolding right now.
  • $VIX $VXN are heading down along with UVXY and $VVIX >> bullish
  • NYSE and Nasdaq A/D net issues are fairly positive >> bullish
  • $NDX $SPX IWM all gapped up this morning, and are now about to take off. 

We are continuing to hold our Quick Bull TNA, but not planning to add a new position right now.   The inauguration tomorrow Wednesday 1/20 is still a potentially volatile event.   So we are just personally going to wait it out one more day.   We prefer to give up a bit of potential gain instead of being overly exposed.

If you choose to re-enter long today, exercise more precaution with your stops.

Updates 10:30 PM EST- Monday (for Tuesday 1/19/21)

Perspective
Since mid November until early January, the stock market has been very bullish.   But now there is a more cautious approach on the part of traders and investors.   
  • The appetite for risk is slightly diminished.   This is most evident in the current topping pattern for bitcoin price.
​
  • There has been more chatter about rising inflation.   You can read more about its implication here.
​
  • Both $VIX and $VXN have been in a sideway pattern for several weeks.   This has bearish implications.   See more below.
​
  • ​This coming week is relatively mild in economics data, but all eyes will be on Washington leading to the inauguration on January 20.   This event will be unpredictable, and the outcome may or may not result in a shock to the market.   
Traders should keep all this in mind, and protect your profits and consider trading less positions.   There is no crash signal on the horizon right now, so if all goes well, $SPX $NDX IWM should continue to rise in their up channels.  However, there is no point in taking on too much risk ahead of potential turbulence.   Market will reveal its hand soon enough.

Market Internals
Market internal messages are turning bearish, which confirms the more cautious vibes that we are picking up.
Picture

​$VIX $VXN
At this point, bulls can take comfort in the fact that there is no crash signal on $VIX $VXN charts yet.   Additionally, on their daily charts, $VIX $VXN show formations of short-term tops.   

So there is a good chance that the bullishness will continue for a while longer yet.  
However, it is concerning that $VIX $VXN have been going sideway for multiple weeks now.  They are still not showing signs of really dropping yet.   

​So bulls should proceed with caution here, and watch out for one potentially very bearish scenario described on $VIX $VXN charts below.

Table of Support & Resistance Zones
The S/R table has been updated to show a lower level of green support zones.  ​
Picture

​$NDX $SPX IWM
Note how the new green support zones are near the bottom of the yellow channels for $SPX $NDX IWM.   Given that the yellow up channels are still intact and continuing to rise, these green zones should provide strong short-term support.

What this means is that if $VIX $VXN do spike up big, $SPX $NDX IWM may drop down into their new green support zones.   However, $SPX $NDX IWM should find sufficient buyers in these zones to resume the rise up in their yellow channels.

Signal Trades
On Friday 1/15, we had re-entered just Quick Bull TNA in Signal Trades.   

​While there is a chance that
$SPX $NDX IWM may encounter more bearish headwinds from rising $VIX $VXN, there is a higher probability that  $SPX $NDX IWM may continue rising up this coming week.

Of the 3 indices, $RUT IWM TNA have the most bullish momentum.   So we are aiming to capture a portion of the ride up, while minimizing risks by not having too many positions.

Updates 11:29 AM EST - Monday 1/4/21

$VIX $VXN rose as projected
Just as we projected on Sunday, $VIX $VXN both rose sharply starting at open this morning.

$SPX $NDX IWM dropped correspondingly.   However, certain sectors temporarily survived $VIX $VXN bearish headwinds and rose instead.   $SOX was one of those sectors, which greatly benefitted our SOXL position.

At this point, in Signal Trades we have manually exited TNA due rising $VIX.   We also tightened SOXL stop and got stopped out.   Both trades yielded decent profits.  See 
Signal Trades for trade history and current position.   We have now booked 184.6% in profit since July 2020.

There is a chance that the current elevated levels of $VIX $VXN may persist through Wednesday this week.   This market is still quite bullish, but it is nervous about the runoff election in Georgia on Tuesday, and the vote certification by Congress on Wednesday.


Updates 7:50 PM EST - Sunday (for Monday 1/4/21)
Welcome back and Happy New Year!

Summary
Expect some turbulence early this week from $VIX $VXN rising moderately.  Still bullish in the big picture for $SPX $NDX IWM.   
        
Market Internals
Market internals still continue to diverge bearishly from $SPX $NDX IWM prices.   With $VIX $VXN sending short-term bearish messages, bulls should proceed with caution.
Picture

$VXN 
As we mentioned above, $VIX and $VXN were sending out short-term moderately bearish messages on the last trading day of 2020.   This combined with the bearish divergence from market internals means that the bulls should proceed with caution here.

$VXN 2-hour chart below shows that $VXN has a good chance of surging quickly up to about 31, before it drops lower.   If this setup unfolds this way, it is actually favorable for the bulls.   It can trigger a dip in $NDX, relieves some selling pressure and brings in new buyers.
