TRIN Indicator Divergence

TRIN indicator divergence today. The Emini closed down 2.50 points at 1,380.25 on volume of 1.8 million contracts, the lowest volume of the last 6 days.

The biggest feature of today's trading was the large volume spike before 10am that pushed the Emini up 16 points to 1,390 - the high for the day. This felt like blow off volume to me.

TRIN Indicator Divergence (Emini daily)

The chart above shows the Better TRIN Oscillator is reaching over-bought levels at +90. In addition, we have a bearish divergence pattern on the end-of-day TRIN value. The Emini has made a new high but the Better TRIN made a lower high at +95. The Better TRIN indicator signals these signs of weakness with a white dot (circled).

The TRIN indicator divergence is a sign of weakness, not necessarily a signal to go short immediately. However, it forewarns of a possible down turn in the Better TRIN Oscillator. I've marked 3 previous instances where this happened on the chart above.

In addition to the TRIN indicator there are a number of other signs of weakness:

Going forward, the 1,375 support level on the Emini will be critical.

On a personal note - back from 10 days snowboarding in Japan. This place never fails to deliver. It's not a secret any more, but I wish it was (Niseko on the island of Hokkaido).

Good luck with your Emini trading.
