Overall commentary for Jan/14/2011:
NeuralTrend model up with high confidence for third consecutive day.
Filtering model main trend is up, with increasing momentum. Both models are capturing the relentless grind up of the equity market.
Volatility started to increase again.
MatLab´s Markov model WARNING signal posted yesterday is still valid as the downtrend regime probability closed at 22.6%.
Wavelet model probability of a discontinuity is increasing, and showing similarities with April 2010 highs.
Wavelet WARNING signal was posted, usually lead to a short term stronger move, at a minimum. Signal may need some time to play out, like between 1 or 3 days. It is not configured as a crash/strong correction pattern still.
Model suggested positioning still did not change : small short with stops at SPY highs around 127.8.
Model does not recommend full position shorting until signals are flashing.
Good trading.
