Some improvements, but only a partial victory.
+s
USA main index leader Tech (NDX, QQQ, NQ1, NQZ) back above all pivots across the board (note to file, both futures held their OctPs on the low on daily close this month)
IWM back above Q4P (though cash index not quite, and futures also mixed)
EEM Emerging markets and PIN India ETF back above all pivots
EWZ Brazil continues as 2016 global market leader up 10% *this month* - always best to go with the leaders, above OctP
-s
SPY, DIA, VTI all still below Q4Ps with levels acting as clear resistance
VIX still above Q4P / OctP as well
Long the leaders as and hedged via DIA as suggested in 10/8 Total market view is still a very good position. If DIA clears Q4P then take off hedge. If VIX drops below Q4P then one 'should be' more long. Several global indexes recently gave chances to buy on Q4Ps which all hedge near exact - EEM, FXI, PIN. Shanghai Comp, despite sideways range for months, also looking interesting here.
SPY, QQQ, VIX below.
