SPY 434.84 = 100-day SMA current value, at Sept 22 close

SPY daily closes chart -

* the S&P 500 McClellan Oscillator approaches the Maximum Oversold
value region, the McO is now at negative 77 level

* price action near the daily 63,2.0 lower Bollinger Band value is customarily
a buy trigger during bull market conditions ... now at 431.22

* a somewhat bullish condition continues for the 10-day EMA smoothing
of the SPX New Highs minus OEX New Highs metric which
is now at 6.23,
which is below its July peak near 40 New Highs for the adjusted
S&P 500 minus the S&P 100

stockcharts.com

some items to consider for selecting a directional bias for swing trading
in the future:

1. if a future OEX rally surpasses and holds above 2040 level,
keep your SPY and QQQ longs once entered for a possible lengthy hold
because any SPY bounce level would be within reason in the coming days/weeks

2. the individual daily net Advance - Decline values for each index were tiny negative
values compared to the giant negative prints by the AD values on Thursday ...
so the lower intraday price lows printed on Friday were relatively not supported
by similar negative moves by the daily AD values

lower intraday low prints on Friday vs. Thursday's intraday low:

QQQ by only 10 cents
SPY by a decent margin
OEX by a decent margin
/ES by a decent margin
$SOX printed a higher low on Fri vs. Thurs

fyi - $NYA price action is only barely below its 200-day SMA, and Friday wasthe 1st time in several weeks ... matching with a decently deep violation of the
daily Lower BB not seen since mid-August from which price bounced strongly

$NYA daily closes line chart -

* could be a "near" double bottom setting up, using daily closes vs. the June 2023 pullback

stockcharts.com

regarding QQQ, this Weekly metric now rests within the upper reaches of its
customary buy zone -

stockcharts.com

$NDX daily cumulative AD line now rests near its customary buy point - the daily 50,2 lower
Bolllinger Band when bull market conditions persist over time -



$NYA above OR below its 3-year simple moving average (156 weeks ) provides
evidence whether we are at the confirmed start of a possible deep
price correction or not

Larry McMillan - Friday November 3, 2023 blog update

my summary of reading his update is that his
line in the sand has a value of $SPX 4,400
and
coupled with other considerations he will abandon his
actual trade $'s in play for his current bearish bet,
and if other items confirm he will consider
an actual hold for at least two days above the $SPX 4,400 level
to be very bullish
==============================================

4,393.57 = the mid-October 2023 intraday high

S&P 500 - count of # of new 52-week intraday price highs, daily chart -

stockcharts.com

* 13% of S&P 500 members ( 65 new Highs ) have made a
new 52-week price high on Friday December 1, 2023 ...
this represents the largest count since early July 2023

* Important note - the $SPX vs. $NYA daily ratio is shown
at the bottom of the above chart, and observe that when
the ratio declines for multiple days or weeks the $SPX price
action eventually always suffers price damage while the ratio declines ...
this occurs because the price action by the now 2,940 active symbols
comprising the NYSE are not " in sync " on a relative basis with the $SPX price action

=============================================================

daily chart # 2 -

55 = the Friday December 1 count of # of SPX New Highs minus OEX New Highs
... which is below its July peak at 66 and below the June 2023 peak at 71

daily chart counting the # of New Highs adjusted by:
S&P 500 minus the S&P 100

here is my version of the SPY daily closes chart using
the 126,2 BB and 126,2 %b -

( 126 days = 6 months of trading days )

Note - in this chart, the price history is adjusted downward
by the amount of each quarterly dividend paid, which
chief technician John Murphy determined at StockCharts.com is the default
chart assessment view
