NASDAQ COMP.: After 50% gain poised for correction
Starting on February 21th 2016 at 4.200 the NASDAQ Composite Index is showing an widely unexpected up move of allmost 50 (!)%, missed by most traders even institutional or small privat investors.
Today the VIX dropped to record lows not seen since 1993. U.S. Sentiment Indicators now rising to "extreme greed" levels also indicating a short term or medium term end of this impressive upmove.
Missing now is a reversal pattern to confirm the end of any up side momentum. The next days or weeks should show this missing reversal pattern to start a short or medium term consolidation. Any downsidemomentum likely to be a countertrend and not the final end of this bullmarket.

FUNDAMENTAL VIEW: HISTORIC VIX NUMBERS UNDER

Here’s what happened the last time the VIX traded this low
.
The CBOE Volatility Index dropped to its lowest level since December 1993 on Tuesday, and history shows it could mark a tremendous buying opportunity for stocks.
According to Brian Stutland of Equity Armor Investments, the so-called fear index has only closed below the 10 level on 24 trading days in history, with 15 of those days occurring in the last three months. Note, a close below 10 on Tuesday would mark the 25th time in history and 16th occurrence in the last three months.
But while Wall Street weighs whether the low volatility reading could signal a top for the markets, Stutland pointed out that it could actually foreshadow the next leg up in the rally.
"When we see this low, we look at the stock market and it has done fairly well," he explained Tuesday on CNBC's "Futures Now." "When we see the VIX trades below 10, usually in the last couple of times ."
He also noted that the last time the VIX saw a prolonged period below 10, in November 2006, the S&P 500 rallied 10 percent six months later, and 5 percent one year later.

It's quite unlikely but it looks like it was a "lucky punch": To close a longposition almost at the top and to open a short position same time. Each trader knows "The Rule": Any anticipated top usually is followed by a next top followed by another one one and so one. It is quite unlikely to time a market like this and if ever finally it might be confirmed that this trading idea was right any senior trader knows that this might not happen again for a long, long time. No one is able to predict turning points like this more than a few times right - in a life time.

Remark: Traders should remind the "lock up periode" for stock repurchase programs to start in 3-4 weeks from now. Stock buy backs may prevent right now US stockmarkets from more selling pressure. This is going to change within days by end of september if investors might continue to pull money out of US stockmarkets.

Quote: "The report also pointed out the turn away from U.S. stocks coincided with the late June surge in the euro against the U.S. dollar to its strongest in nearly a year, after comments from European Central Bank President Mario Draghi suggested higher inflation and tighter monetary policy soon in the euro zone.
The euro subsequently climbed to its highest in more than two years in early August, and traded slightly below those levels near $1.186 Friday. Draghi is scheduled to speak later Friday afternoon at an annual meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming."
