Market Timing Alert: BEARISH

The market is giving contradictory signals.

On the one hand, my market internals indicator had its two best readings last week (Wednesday and Friday) since September 19. Since the bottom of November 20, the market has put in a sequence of higher highs and higher lows. This is good.

On the other hand, my market indicators, which were just briefly overall bullish earlier this week, are now once again overall bearish. Friday, we had what some might call a bullish reversal, with the market down in the morning, but reversing in the afternoon and closing higher. I am skeptical of this turnaround, however, because volume was light.

On balance, I'll go with my indicators. I'm returning to a bearish stance.
