US markets - an update
Yesterday, after the FED announcement, US markets reacted as usually. Looking at that I have an impression that there is no bad news. There is only good news - never mind what this news is - the market always goes up.
O.K., this is "what is seen" (as French economist Frederic Bastiat used to write) but "what is unseen ?".
Let us look at some charts.

As in my previous posts we can spot the deterioration of the market internals - the market goes up with less advancing issues.
The chart below shows what smart and big money has been doing for some time:
As one can see - smart and big money does not care what Ben Bernanke has said - the selling goes on.
But, as I wrote some time ago - smart and big money indicators are not a good timing tool. To assess whether it is time to think about shorting the market I use the chart below:
Now the market is in the selling zone - for active investors this could be the opportunity to try to short the market.
