Quote from diablo11:
I know someone here uses this chart to show them the long/short makeup of the market and it still looks like there is a historically high ratio of short positions out there. I don't feel comfortable banking on making any new lows until that bear ratio comes down. There can easily be a headline and rally to flush some of these out.
Note the short ratio in early Aug before the most recent correction drop.

Quote from justajuxtaposer:
Price shall be above 1215 soon enough in October, against most bearish predictions. If it was going to crack it would have already. It will also be above 1225, and many other prices in October. Furthermore 1370 and above will likely be challenged before New Year.

All about probabilities. If you want to bet against 80% then you are either uneducated about the cycles or just enjoy giving your money to the 5%. Biggest down days ever have happened on T days but still a 80 % chance that ES\SPX reverts to green some time during the trading session. Gaps in SPX always get filled. Betting with the masses who chase these gaps will always put you on the losing side. I agree on price though. People often ask what was the turning point for me? When I removed every indicator from my charts is when it all came together. Btw when are you going to update your channel chart? Until we break 1210 still looks like a downtrend channel to meQuote from crazyAtrader:
Don't trade mumbo jumbo, just base everything on price, it's the only thing that does not lie.
Consider the following myths:
Bullish bias on T days, ever seen bearish T days, I have!
Third year presidential term ends very bullish, even higher when the president is democrat, aprox 18%+, ever seen a bear third presidential term ? I have!
We gonna fill the gap, we gonna fill the gap, ever seen unfilled gaps from way past not get filled ? I have!
Vix this vix that
% bull % bear that
I could go on forever, but there's only one thing that's constant and the ever truth, and that's price. Never seen it fail me, when I fail, it was me, not it.
Always listen to price and nothing else, it's the only opinion you need.
