STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT

Keybot the Quant remains short as the bears come to play today. Bears whack chips and copper lower dragging them into the bear camp creating a bloody day on Wall and Broad. The bears are cruising with the algo number 35 points below the signal line.

Bears need to keep semiconductors and copper weak to continue the downside decay in the stock market. Bulls need one of the metrics to turn bullish to stop the selling pressure. The lines in the sand identified by the robot are SOX 7867 and CPER 35.64, respectively. The current prices creating the stock market negativity are below each line in the sand.

If SOX remains below 7867 and CPER below 35.64, the selling in the stock market will continue. The beatings will continue until moral improves.

Bulls need either metric to turn bullish and that will be enough to stop the selling and equities will muddle along sideways. Bulls likely need both metrics to turn bullish to stage a relief rally but even that may not be enough to position the quant to flip long. Let's see what the bears got over the coming days.

Neil Sedaka croaked. That dude wrote a lot of hit songs. Humorously, with that high voice (instead of a soprano he would be called a 'boyish tenor'), he did not reach puberty until he was 30. At high school dances in the 60's and 70's, the boys would muster up courage to ask that pretty classmate to dance, and there would be a Neil Sedaka song playing in the background. Breakin' Up Is Hard to Do.
