SP500 Levels Into The Close...

02/02/09 03:14PM EST
Despite all of the intraday day noise… there is one macro factor that continues to dominate the US stock market – it’s inverse relationship with the US Dollar. At this point, all I think we need is the US$ Index to stop going up, and stocks can work, for an immediate term “Trade” to SPX 838 …

Interestingly, my models have chugged out a support level for the SP500 that is higher than what I had earlier this morning. There is a margin of safety building at the 808 line (see chart), and that’s only -1% lower from where the market is trading here at 3PM EST. This creates a tolerable risk/reward for me to start covering/buying.

Volatility as measured by the VIX, is up another +5% right now at 47.04, but will be overbought, from an immediate term perspective, at 49.88. So give me a US$ that stops going up, SPX 808, and VIX 50, and I cover/buy.
