The stock market is making me nervous about a deeper pullback. It is trading over a percent below the Lower Boundary of its Probable Range, indicating it wants to at least break down to neutral from the perspective of our Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Signal (VAMS).

THREAD 1/
That said, the last time we saw such a deep downside deviation w/r/t the S&P 500โ€™s Probable Range was on 5/12/21. At the risk of anchoring on an n-size of 1, investors can breathe a sigh of relief b/c that was not a sell signal on either a one-week or one-month forward basis.

I watch Micro Caps $IWC and Frontier Markets $FM as ancillary signals of broader "risk off" conditions -- which our primary risk tools are disconfirming. Both are bearish VAMS, but neither has broken to new lows. That is a good thing for broader risk appetite until it isnโ€™t.

Good morning! Options still slightly overpriced despite the overnight rally. There was a slight vol crunch up near the close yesterday, so while the VIX/SPX relationship is still favoring more upside, it will be limited.
I gave a target of 4400 a couple of days ago, and that seems easily attainable, might reach 4420. This rally will likely end by early next week. A lot of puts were purchased this month, and the gamma unwind will be rocky. Also, MMs are still component gamma positive until 4400.
As a side note, McConnell did us a favor. By kicking the can down the road, he gave a template of exactly what the market looks like with the threat of debt ceiling issues. so in late Nov, we can use early Oct as the template for a trade. Thanks Mitch!
