Well, the manipulation / shenanigans of the last 6 market days flipped most of my signals to bearish. The increasing velocity of changes in the last month is giving me pause. As in, there was no indication that the market owners were about to crash-end the Yen carry trade (what?) and throw the levers over to buy Treasuries although "top warnings" were in place for a few weeks.

Now, with a nearly fully red board, in these fast herd-driven markets I'm not at all sure whether a -11 switch in 1 week is an all in short term contrarian buy because the panic will be over in a month, or whether it's a solid short because it's going to keep drifting down for awhile. It's all FOMO. I'm only 30% in stocks left anyway, pulled more out of large cap growth this week temporarily, so I'm playing defense... the time to go leveraged short was 3 weeks ago as new highs were hit with weak breadth... again... in hindsight. It's time to be safe, without bottom signals firing - right? Who knows!
