Vast majority of traders now bearish, equities short-term oversold

The easy money for the shorts has been made. This doesn’t mean that the market is likely to rally, just that we have now enjoyed the portion of the decline that our intermediate-term sell signal in late September and early October all but guaranteed. This in no way rules out further declines immediately ahead, possibly severe. It is just that traders could easily find safer entry points for short-to-intermediate-term short sales, or worse exits.

Stocks remain at historically high valuations, economic headwinds are mounting, and bullish sentiment has been dominant for years, so we are likely at the start of a significant turn.
