This market is the epitome of our phrase, "overbought does not mean sell." It just keeps going higher, and now the rally has broadened enough so that the Dow ($DJX; DIA), NASDAQ-100 ($NDX; QQQ) and Russell 2000 ($RUT; IWM) are all doing the same. All of these indices, including $SPX, have made new all- time closing and intraday highs this week.
In 1973, inflation, interest rates, and impeachment dominated headlines during a brutal bear market. Today, a different set of "I's" is making news, yet stocks continue to push higher.
0DTE (Zero Days to Expiration) options have rapidly become one of the fastest-growing areas of the options market. Trading volume in products such as $SPX, SPY, and QQQ has exploded in recent years, bringing increased attention — and controversy — to these ultra-short-term contracts.
Three different internal indicators have generated sell signals over the past week or so, but the most important indicator -- the chart of $SPX remains bullish. When these conditions exist, it is usually the chart of $SPX that wins out.
