A Quick Recovery
After falling hard yesterday the market made up all of those losses and then some today. Historically, these kind of sharp recoveries have been bullish over the next couple of weeks. Below is a study which exemplifies this:
Of the 19 instances, 6 of them dipped below the low of the “big down day” at some point in the following 12 days.
Overall, action seems to have turned more constructive in the last two days.

In this blog I will be examining market action and quantifying my findings. Using sentiment, breadth, price and volume indicators - both standard and customized - I will try and uncover short-term edges which could be taken advantage of by market participants. I will frequently add opinion to these studies and may sometimes post opinions without quantifiable research behind them.

That's what the spreadsheet says at the top...
Anon -
It's actually a fictional $100k in the cash index. I don't use SPY here for 2 reasons: 1) Limited history 2) Divdends
