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

To: rimshot who wrote (1264) | 11/3/2023 10:03:34 PM | From: rimshot | | | 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

To: rimshot who wrote (937) | 12/2/2023 3:59:47 PM | From: rimshot | | | 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
