Art's futures biases for Dec 5. A "1" means bullish bias. A "-1" means bearish bias. The total is the sum of biases. A positive sum will be long bias. A negative sum will be a short bias. A sum of zero will be a neutral bias. _________________________________________________ The bond complex is still insisting that the markets should be sold on Tuesday. The indexes remain indecisive. We will be entering the normally-bearish mid-month period starting Thursday. The next significant moves is therefore probably shaping up to be a sell, but I wouldnât advise fighting the cross-currents just yet.

Art's futures biases for Dec 7. A "1" means bullish bias. A "-1" means bearish bias. The total is the sum of biases. A positive sum will be long bias. A negative sum will be a short bias. A sum of zero will be a neutral bias. _______________________________________________ Thursday marks the day-of-month change from bullish to bearish in the indexes. This turns the calendar biases net bullish in the Nasdaq and Russell. The S&P calendar dissents, but all the other readings are neutral to bearish. Expect further downside action on Thursday. Also note that the individual bond contracts are all flashing buys in both signal categories.
Art's futures biases for Dec 8. A "1" means bullish bias. A "-1" means bearish bias. The total is the sum of biases. A positive sum will be long bias. A negative sum will be a short bias.

Art's futures biases for Dec 11. A "1" means bullish bias. A "-1" means bearish bias. The total is the sum of biases. A positive sum will be long bias. A negative sum will be a short bias. A sum of zero will be a neutral bias. _______________________________ There are enough dissenting signals that I wouldnât feel comfortable going with the overall bullishness in the indexes. Both the bond and currency complex, on the other hand, are giving solid buy signals. I would imagine that the 30-year bonds are particularly ripe for a counter-trending up-day.

You can follow the prevailing trends, such as shorting the S&Ps or the yen. Various flies-in-the-ointment include that the S&P is opposite the plus reading in the Russell. The yen is contrary to the Swiss franc. Thereâs a +1 in the 10-year either-or that contradicts the other bond signals. Maybe you can argue that the yen is ok to short because it has little to do with the Swiss franc anyway. I wonât argue. Iâll just maintain that the ubiquitous crosscurrents for Wednesday make me nervous. I therefore probably wonât do any opening-price trading off the CzarCharts.
Art's futures biases for Dec 14. A "1" means bullish bias. A "-1" means bearish bias. The total is the sum of biases. A positive sum will be long bias. A negative sum will be a short bias. A sum of zero will be a neutral bias. ________________________________________________ The most interesting thing for Thursday can be found in the currency complex. There was a decent downmove in the yen on Wednesday in line with CzarChart projections. I didnât participate because the Swiss franc was contrary. That market, however, has flipped around, thereby giving unanimous support to the bear side. Any of the three would be reasonable shorting candidates for Thursday. Iâm going with the yen.
