NFTRH; Market Sentiment Update

The October decline came after we had been noting various sentiment indicators were over bullish and Participation indexes were negatively diverging.  A hard decline followed and a bounce came as expected with pervasive end of the world bearishness gripping participants.

Now, the bounce has morphed to new highs in some cases and players have repaired their psyches as if October never happened.  For this reason, the markets are vulnerable to the faded, but still viable scenario of a November decline and  re-test of October’s bearishness.

Sentimentrader’s aggregated data show a situation that is close to what it was leading into October.

Commodities vs. gold is breaking back up above the moving averages.  A declining CCI-Gold has/had been one of the few positive fundamental underpinnings for the gold sector.  It would also be a negative for the economy if it resumes breaking down.
