We are already well aware that the best price action and momentum has been off the session this summer. There's usually a solid hour to start the day, where sweepers are most aggresive, after that, the flow would usually go dead and sometimes we could see a bit of an uptick (Buying activities) into the closing bell.
For this week, all the action and sweeper buying has remained early morning off the open but just as reliable has been this low volume fade mid afternoon while order flow is dead.
Large-Only, Buy-to-Open Source: Sentimentrader
Notes: This ratio focuses on large traders to get a better feel for what they're trying to do. Despite the fact that many large traders might be "smart money", this ratio is best used in a contrary manner. When the ratio is high, and large traders are buying a lot of put options relative to call options, it tends to be bullish for stocks. When the ratio is very low, it tends to be bearish for stocks, leading to either a plateau in prices or an eventual erasure of further short-term gains.
Retail-Only, Buy-to-Open Source: Sentimentrader
Notes: This ratio focuses on small traders to get a better feel for what they're trying to do. When the ROBO put/call ratio is high, that means small traders are buying many puts in relation to calls, and suggests that they believe their stocks will decline. This is bullish for the market once it reaches an extreme. On the other hand, when these traders are so confident of their stocks rising that the ROBO ratio drops to a low level, then we need to be aware that sentiment is becoming too frothy, and a market decline may soon be at hand.
Gamma exposure Source: Sentimentrader
Notes: Gamma exposure refers to the sensitivity of existing option contracts to changes in the underlying price of the S&P 500. On the chart, a GEX value of 6 billion implies that if price moves +/-1%, 6 billion shares will come to market to push price in the opposite of the prevailing direction. The highest values tend to occur as prices peak and the lowest values as prices bottom.
For now as the charts show above, decimated Put/Call ratios and $S&P 500 index(.SPX.US)$ gamma creeping higher, it's all could be the consequences of a potential meltup with aggresive rotation. That's why we want you to be prepared ahead of time for such a climate change because it can drive you nutes.
