AAII Sentiment survey update:

(Bullish - Bearish) spread just reached a cycle low last week.

See the contrarian nature of this indicator.

Dec, Jan, Feb = Green = bullish > bearish
Mar, Apr, May = Red = bearish > bullish Image
AAII sentiment survey chart from 2010 to 2020:

Interesting:

1 notice all the "bull-bear spread lows" in the past?
(huge pessimism)

2 just before a major up-trend..

3. this time is different? (not good) 🤔🧐 Image
Don't panic. bears

I trust more on what they DO, not what they SAY

what they do? CNN fear & Greed index from the trading
what they say? AAII survey

When in conflict, trust

1 CNN fear & greed index
2 & VX furures term structure
3 Equity Put/Call ratio
4 Volume divergence Image
The above "what they do" list, showing:

1 neutral (CNN)
2 complacent (VIX TS)
3 "mild" greed (Equity PCR & Volume divergence)

Plus many breadth divergences
- most important hidden sentiment: what smart money has been doing under the radar

I report, you decide. 🧐😎
below thread in Jan leading to the market crash in Feb/Mar

F&G reached 97 (intra-day 98) on Jan 2🧐

In Fed we trust
Repo & notQE in full swing
near ZIRP
Tons of liquidity
SPX won't be allowed to drop 10 pts in election year
In Trump we trust
FOMO buy👌😷
May 8 - short term Greed

#VIX9D = 24.89
= 27.98
= 115.65
= 132.21

Contango Term Structure = short-term greed

#VIX9d < Contango
< #VIX3M Contango
#VIX3M < #VIX6M Contango
#VIX6M > #VIX1Y Backwardation Image
Below is much more accurate than AAII sentiment survey from my backtesting

Total Equity Put/Call ratio from all 16 options exchanges.

not CBOE put/call ratio that I post everyday

CBOE is about 12% of all equity options & 98% of all Index options

CBOE Call/Put Ratio (PCR reversed) 10d SMA

Euphoria and capitulation zones defined.

Not as accurate as above "total equity call/put ratio", but, a very good contrarian indicator around the turning levels.

Need confluence from other cross-asset & breadth & sentiment indicators Image
Total equity call/put ratio from 16 exchanges

Updated as of Fri, May 8 2020

neutral & complacent

BTFD at capitulation zone is more accurate than top picking

Top picking need other confluence from cross-asset & breadth & sentiment indicators. (I have more than 50+ combined) Image
ISEE Call/Put ratio: 10d sma
MMs & firm trades, excluded, are not considered representative of true market sentiment due to their specialized nature. ISEE method allows for a more accurate measure of true investor sentiment than traditional P/C ratios

Now higher than Dec & Jan Image
Interesting chart.

Reverse-split adjusted price.

$950 in Oct 2007 - amazing.

and the volume last week? 30x avg volume (20 day) Image

Old post:

I will need to change my 2,425 target because of 😷

See above thread regarding

1 CBOE p/c ratios (index, total, equity, ETP)
2 ISEE c/p ratio
3 total equity c/p ratio from all 16 exchg

I have new corr proof that is highly correlated with CBOE (equity p/c ratio) as shown below.

As good as from 512d to 10d corr Image
Correlation table with other cross assets

512-day to 10-day correlation.

index (#AUDUSD also) is the new FX correlation star: highly correlated with from 128d to 30d

& are no brainer. Image
In statistics, the phrase "correlation does not imply causation" refers to inability to legitimately deduce a cause&effect relationship between 2 variables solely on the basis of an observed correlation

But, In trading, if you add more corre confluence, finding divergences👌🧐💯
1 drawback of below corr matrix is: it can only display a single corr period

2 Need a 3D to see the corr overtime, finding the divergence from the norm in shorter timeframe

3 A corr table with diff periods among assets would easily spot div in real-time

SPX:AUD chart: Friday's close.

More visual to spot the divergences and the "capitulation" & "euphoria" zones over time

A: 3 regression lines for more confluence
B: Euphoria zone in Dec, Jan & Feb
C: Capitulation Zone in Feb & Mar
D: Current position relative to the past 90 days Image
Trade the correlation/regression charts in swing & day/scalping trading

1 for swing trading, look for divergences in daily chart
2 for scalping, if last 10 days' dots were near regression line (correlated), looking for divergence in 15-min, confirmed by more cross-asset diverg🧐
AAII bullish and Bearish weekly sentiment survey
from 2010 to 2020

6/5/2020 = Extreme Bearish

green = bullish
red = bearish
blue = 5-period SMA (spread) = bullish - bearish Image
AAII Sentiment survey update: 6/5/2020

(Bullish - Bearish) spread reached another cycle low last few weeks.

Since March, AAII survey turned "red"

🦃Super-duper "bullish" in Dec & Jan. 🦃 Image
Above AAII sentiment survey was "what they say"

Below CNN fear & greed indicator is "what they do"

Opposite direction. You decide

Fear & Greed Index = 66 = Greed 🦃

This thread from the top contains some useful info and million $ trading tips 👌🙃🤫 Image
Alert: Maximum Optimism: FOMO

Below is a more accurate ind than AAII sentiment survey from my backtesting: I am biased

Total equity call/put ratio from all 16 exchanges

not CBOE P/C ratio that I post daily

CBOE is about 14% of all equity options

All-In Maximum Optimism 🦃🦃 Image
Alert: Maximum optimism

ISEE C/P ratio: 10d sma

MM & firm trades, excluded, are not considered representative of true market sentiment due to their specialized nature. ISEE method allows for a more accurate measure of true investor sentiment than traditional P/C ratios

All-in Image
To sum it up

Why would market crash?

1 "maximum FOMO optimism" just before the crash
2 irratianal exuberance drives stonks super overvaluation
3 taxi drivers all-in buying stonk calls
4 smart money on the other side waiting patiently
5 wealth transfer

Derivatives are zero-sum games

fut & stonk options are derivatives

For every buyer there is a seller

Who are on the other side of the trades?
dealers & smart money

When retails FOMO buying #ES_F & calls, smart money with deep pocket would just wait for the rug pull
