SP 500 and NDX Futures Daily Charts - VIX Remains Subdued - Short Term Overbought



Fairly disappointing Jobs Report, but Wall Street has its eye on earnings season and the puffed up corporate numbers that will start rolling out next week.

Watch out for the short term noise, and keep your attention focused on guidance, rather than current numbers which are two parts accounting fluff and three parts Fed subsidies.

If the consumer is not healthy, American business will not be healthy. The effects may just show up with a lag.

Additionally, I have included the daily cash charts of the SP 500 and the NDX with some indicators that seem to suggest that the markets are overextended for the short term, and are ready for some consolidation and perhaps a pullback after this amazing run higher. It can of course become even more overbought in the short term.
