More evidence that a bottom is forming in the SPX. Above is the weekly “National Association of Active Investment Managers” (NAAIM).  When the NAAIM lower Bollinger band is touched (Noted with a “0” or lower reading; bottom window) the market has been near an intermediate term low.  Current reading is -.01and at bullish levels. Panic readings in the tick and TRIN may develop late this week or early next week to potential setup the next bullish signal.  Intermediate term bullish signals are present. In a neutral position for now.  

This is the week before option expiration week where whipsaws are common. The top window in the chart above is the 10 day average of the TRIN. Readings near .90 and lower can produce short term highs in the market and today’s reading came in at .90. If market does rally when a 10 day TRIN <.90, the rally is usually weak and short lived. The two day TRIN is also in bearish territory with a reading of .62; below .75 are bearish. An intermediate term low appears to be forming here (noted on page two of yesterday’s report) but bottom process appears incomplete. Next week is option expiration week which should be up. We are looking for a bullish setup not far from current levels.

Should see movement in GDX soon as the Inflation/Deflation ratio Bollinger bands are pinching. Yesterday we said. “The bottom window is the Bollinger Band width for the Inflation/Deflation ratio.  When the Bollinger Band Width for the Inflation/deflation ratio reaches near 25 (current reading is 25.55) the market is do for a impulse wave to start. The chart above goes back over 20 years and the red vertical lines show when the Bollinger Band width reached near 25.  Some of the impulse waves where up and some where down. We have shown in our report over the last several days that the next impulse wave should be up.  Don’t know what the catalyst will be to start the next impulse wave for gold (GLD) but it should be fairly soon.”
