Oversold Battered Bruised


Look I now I am not saying anything that people already don't know, we are deeply oversold and at a level where we usually bounce, take a look at one of my favorite indicators to call that bounce the $BPCOMQ (see previous posts). We are right at the level of the two last bounces I called, and we are below the August 16th low. But whats disturbing is that we are making lower highs when we do bounce. That is why I think its not a bottom but just a bounce. For this thinking to change we have to take out 40 on the $BPCOMPQ. For this to happen, I think the FED has to do something spectacular, something the market does not expect to get us above 40. Unfortunately, I think they won't.

Extremely Oversold

Regarding Chart: BPCOMQ

This is the lowest close seen in years, usually a sharp and violent rally follows these moves enhanced by short covering, this is no time to short and start making a shopping list.

The Dow looks like its fighting for its life here at the level. It's no surprise there was a vicious bounce off the trend line as shown in the chart. Unfortunately, the last time we had that five hundred point reversal day was caused by the Fed stepping in, there has to be a similar event that helps the market or there is more pain ahead. The Fed minutes said nothing the market really liked, we sold off hard and bounced back hard as we hit support. This was just a reflex rally we may have to get one more really painful selloff to get around 12500.
