$NYMO (McClellan Oscillator): 

After trying to move towards the zero line, the McClellan Oscillator (NYMO) ended the week -33.40 after being -105 the prior week intraday. The McClellan Oscillator is oversold but has room to go much lower, if need be.

$NYSI (not shown) continues to fall. Still no turn yet.

VIX:VXV Ratio (Volatility Term Structure):

The VXV is the 3 month volatility index. The relationship between VXV and VIX (30 day volatility) or the ratio between them if > 1.00 often spells trouble for equities.

As mentioned in the multi-year view from inception, this ratio moved lower towards the neutral zone at 0.9126 but has ever since made a turn higher. It ended the week at 0.974.  Any turn that is made from this neutral zone can be tricky. Perhaps volatility is here to stay a bit. Keep an eye on what this does. Watch that VIX!
