Investor Sentiment vs. SPY Price $$

Investor sentiment seems to be a pretty good measure of where the prices will go in the very short term.

Today’s update shows that bullish sentiment rose from 30%+ last week to about 45% this week. Looks like the price has further to go.

$SPX $SPY Corrections Are Shallow

Corrections on SPX have been getting more and more shallow.

(SPY: 135.36 +0.13%) touched 13ema today, and closed above it. Wonder if this is all the reaction we’ll get this time as well. Stochastics are still very overbought, and I’m still betting on a larger drop, holding March SPY puts.
