Continued Extremes Suggest Imminent Sharp (Short Term) Rebound In Stocks - 2/28/20

Some key data points from today are:


  • 4 closes in a row below the lower bollinger band on SPY
  • 4 closes in a row above the upper bollinger band on VIX
  • 2 period cumulative WRSI2 less than 1 

The past history of SPY demonstrates extremely strong (~100%) past history of a high close than the trigger day within the next 5 days.

There was very strong tendency for the next day to close higher.

Also, today was 2 days in a row with gap downs more than 1%.  This also has led to strong rebounds.
  • I looked at what happened in past times where the 1st gap down was NOT filled.  And even though prices went dramatically lower the second day, past similar instances suggest around a 50% probability of the 1st gap being filled within the next 5 days.
  • That would put price back up at 311 on SPY.
From the most extreme similar instances, the MAX gains over the next 5 days were mostly clustered between 2.25 and 3.5 ATR's (10 period).
  • This would suggest that the maximum gain over the next 5 days could be a very sharp rise to between 310-320 on SPY.
  • The large gap down from Thursday is currently only 2 ATR's above Friday's closing price, so it seems that that gap fill would be a good target for this rise.
  • Assuming we saw a rise and a close above the gap level at ~311, I think that would be an ideal exit time if it occurs.
