Steve and I like to use the 5/3 Stochastics as a confirmation to
the 2 length RSI. It's been working well lately. The 2
length RSI has been used for a long time by technicians, however it
seems to work well if you can get the 5/3 stochastic to confirm it.
For example mid Aug on the first oversold rally both the 2
RSI and 5/3 stochastic were overbought (good short). ON the
pullback you had the same thing, then the next rally, on the last
dip in early Sept the Stochastic didn't get oversold, but they both
got overbought on the rally to 1230 (not short), and they were both
oversold last Friday.
The problem for the bears

The problem for the bears to get big downside is sentiment - see AAII and Investors Intelligence Surveys
Yes, but...

That was true even BEFORE last weeks drubbing. The bears were greater than the bulls then; of course, the ratio doubled after that.

Using the RSI2 and 5/3 STO it is ready again! Always predictable, this one.
