Current ACAP Momentum/Trend Model Signal: NEUTRAL (Day Count = 1)
The SPX index gained 9bps yesterday, closing at 6005. This was the highest close since the index bottomed 24% lower on Apr 7 (ref 4835 low). Momentum and trend indicators remain divergent and are flat to negative. My Spot VIX and VIX Term structure signals are “risk on”. The ACAP Momentum/Trend Model signal has shifted to Neutral. All said, I have removed all SPX exposure and am waiting patiently for a more uniform signal/trade. The close yesterday above 6000 was certainly bullish, but I will remain cautious until market internals and my ACAP signal line up.
