US S&P 500– Retail CFD traders remain extremely net-short the SPX500, which tracks the fair value of the S&P E-mini futures contract, and a contrarian view of ‘crowd’ sentiment has kept us firmly bullish. Continued failure to break to fresh highs gives us pause, however. The S&P has now made two consecutive lower highs, and a third lower high would highlight danger of a turnaround.
It will be critical to watch how traders react to the S&P 500 near key highs—a major shift in retail trader sentiment may confirm a short-term price trend turnaround.
