The clustering of so many Sell Signals generated at Friday's close is a heads-up that the stock market has resumed its downtrend. What I have been labeling a counter-trend rally, the, "dead cat bounce," is over. The major market averages will soon take out the October 29th lows, and then the Feb 9th lows. From that level, nothing but air into the January-February 2016 lows. Beyond there, the 2009 - 2011 lows loom. But let's take this one step at a time. The first level that have to fall is the October 29th lows, 24,122 in the DJIA, and 2,603 in the S&P 500.
The chart above shows the close to 10 year bull market from early March, 2009. Whereas it's possible to retrace that entire bull market, it is also possible that this bear will fall to one of the Fibonacci retracement levels shown on the right side of the chart. The Wave 4 low of Feb 2016 is right at the 50% Fibonacci level and a natural stopping point IF the decline is just a "pause" in a decades long and ongoing bull market. In other words, a 1,000 point drop in the S&P (-35%) is a best case scenario if my bearish analysis is even close to correct.
New Trading Signals
Below are 16 new Intermediate Term Sell Signals, along with 3 Bearish ETF's that generated Buy Signals at Friday's close. There are also numerous Sells still open in the trades table, all expiring in Nov/Dec. Remember that most all individual stocks move in the same direction of the primary trend, making trading indices (QQQ-IWM- SPY) an easy and manageable way initiate, and/or bolster, a leveraged Short position on the market.

S&P 500 (SPX)
The above chart highlights an SPX Sell Signal, along with its 2,774 level, the low print for Wednesday's run-away post election rally, Wednesday's lows were broken on a closing basis Friday by the Nasdaq, Russell 2000 and NYSE. The S&P broke through during the day, but closed back above at the close. The Dow stayed above its level, 25,765 all session. When the S&P and Dow finally close below their Wednesday's lows, look for acceleration down.
