As some of you know, the Buffett Indicator (that is, total market cap divided by GDP) is at levels, if I may quote the President, “never seen before.” It’s truly jaw-dropping and has even over-shadowed the lunacy of early 2000.

Here below is the analysis of the probability of reversal for SPX, NDX and RUT DAILY, photographed yesterday at the close:

Obviously, the RUT and the SPX/NDX are not following the same buy/sell cycles, at the moment.
(more…)It seems to me that ARKK is ready to roll over here.

All the US indices are now pretty overbought, with the NDX in particular being the most overbought (6 days up in a row).

My NDX DAILY SHORT model shows a very high probability of reversal, however probability is a statistical assessment, so we cannot exclude the scenario where the NDX closes higher, again, on Tuesday. That would be 7 days up in a row.

The first is the simplest: it is the NASDAQ 100 index divided by the Russell 2000. Ever since 2006, this has been climbing relentlessly, demonstrating how massively valued tech has become. Keep in mind, this isn’t just illustrating the growth of the market; it is showing the growth of the market divided by the growth of the same (U.S. common stocks) market, but with different components.
