  1. How about that - your SPXA150R indicator slipped below 90 (to 89.80) yesterday. 'Spose it'll stay there for awhile?

  2. Hello Weaver, good eye on that, yep, its bear friendly to drop under 90. Over 90 is an excellent signal to short the markets, but it is like waiting for Godot, pehaps the selloff will begin now. If the indicator pops back above 90 that would be time to add more shorts but these markets are becoming very tricky and treacherous now. If it stays under 90 and moves down towards 85 that would be in concert with markets selling off.
