The far right hand column shows the intraday runup/drawdown. I’ve circled in green the -$393.90 result from July 31st. Since the trades are based on $100,000 each, $393.90 represents a move down of about 0.4%. What you’ll notice when looking at the list is that the 0.4% drop that day was the smallest intraday drop of any of the 15 instances listed since March 10th. In red I have circled every instance where the intraday runup the next day was less than 0.4%. As you can see of the 15 instances, 7 of them had an intraday runup of less than 0.4%. This is all during a huge rally off the March lows. While it’s just one of the studies I looked at in last night’s Subscriber Letter, this one suggests risk/reward favors the downside for Monday.

Thanks for this. I too think that the prior days Put Call Ratios can be quite a good indicator for the following day.
But in terms of the medium term picture what do you think of the increase in volume since early July? I have studied the data on volume increases or decreases coming out of bear market lows since 1962.
So far I would say that the evidence derived from falling volume since the March 09 lows is of more importance than the rising volume since early July.
