Friday saw a revisit of Thursday lows and an ultimate closing in the red. With the ongoing rise of the dollar (UUP) the large cap multinationals are suffering badly and it was interesting to hear one of the market gurus who foresaw the dollar's rise several months ago to forecast that the dollar could extend its run FOR THE NEXT 2 YEARS!!!. Of course that's just one opinion, but a pretty informed one.
In that context here's a look at the current PONZO Time Machine and the VDX chart.
Note that the 18 month projection for the SPY now has the odds clearly skewed to the downside...a scenario we have not seen before. The risk profile also continues to expand, adding to the uncertainty factor.
VDX is more upbeat now being in a BUY mode but this is based strictly on technicals and we need to keep in mind that oversold conditions may get worse before they get better.
