STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant remains short as the new trading week begins. The algo clicked off a number directly after the opening bell this morning bringing the algo number only two ticks away from the signal line. This warrants a caution designation in the blog post title since the bull market recovery rally is on the verge of confirmation by Keybot--but, not yet.

The SPX touched the 1189 handle after the open which set off a firestorm of buying. UTIL moved above the 413.7-ish area. The SPX:VIX ratio moved above 35. All three of these indicators confirm the bull rally move today.  Further confirmation is needed for the recovery rally with a drop in volatility; volatility currently remains elevated. Markets remain unstable and sit on pins and needles ahead of the Sarkozy/Merkel France/Germany summit tomorrow.
