15 January 2016 – The bears triggered panic selling
The Shanghai Exchange Index closed below 3000 and we had a long weekend coming and that seems to have triggered some panic selling. The Vix is trading in the high 20s which is a sign of fear by market participants.
Dow Transportation gapped down and dropped on market open. It continued trading downward till early afternoon when buyers came in and it closed with a hammer candle in oversold territory. Pivot momentum remains downward. MPM is showing nett selling pressure. The index closed at 6689.94 which is about 28% below its peak of 9310.22 achieved on 28 November 2014.
Dow Industrial gapped down and dropped on market open. It continued trading downward till early afternoon and reversed upward to close with a hammer candle pattern. Pivot momentum remains downward. MPM is showing nett selling pressure. The index is grossly oversold.
Russell 2000 dropped on market open and continued selling off till midday and broke through the 1000 levels. Buyers came in and it closed with a hammer candle in oversold territory. Pivot momentum remains downward. MPM is showing nett selling pressure.
Nasdaq 100 had a huge gap down on market open and continued selling down till midday. Buyers came in and it traded upward to close with a spinning top doji candle in oversold territory. Pivot momentum remains downward. MPM is showing nett selling pressure.
S&P 500 dropped on market open and sold down till midday when it reversed upward. It closed with a bearish candle at 1880.33 in oversold territory. Pivot momentum remains downward. MPM is showing nett selling pressure.
Market sentiment is bearish. Market breadth continues to slope downward showing overall nett losers to gainers. Vix has increased to 27.02 showing there is fear in the market. The market is reacting to several global events such as the selling off in the Shanghai Exchange index and poor economic data from the US itself. The Russell 2000 has already entered bear market territory and it looks like the rest of the indices will play catch-up. The prognosis is that the market is extremely bearish and sideways and further downside move is possible although the indices are due for a bounce as they are grossly oversold.
