US S&P 500– A contrarian view of retail trader positions points to continued recovery in the resurgent US S&P 500. Our data shows nearly two-thirds of open SPX500 positions are currently short, and such one-sided sentiment readings most often lead us to do the opposite and go long.
Indeed it was last week we noted a sharp turn in the retail mood as a key reason the S&P would continue higher. It would take a marked turn in the opposite direction to shake us from our bullish trading bias.
