08/05/2018: Markets were slightly higher for the week, as the Indices are going back up to re-test the January Highs. Either the Markets will make New Highs soon, or “Double Top” which would indicate a lack of new money and could cause Selling. We should find out soon.

Alert! Market Risk is High (RedZone). The probability of successful Short Term Trades is better, when the S&P 500 is down near the Green Line.
QUESTION: Costine writes “Thank you so much for your amazing charts. What is the best vehicle to buy to short the S&P 500?
Many thanks and regards.”
ANSWER: It is probably way too early to Short… Yes, the Markets are very Over-Bought, and will return again to the Green Lines. But the next good trade should be when the Leaders come down to the Green Line, and then should bounce back up near the Highs (until they FAIL TO MAKE NEW HIGHS).
When the Markets finally go BEAR, we will be in Inverse Funds like SH (when it meets the Rules).
Good trading, and tell your friends!
