    The markets pulled back deeper than usual yesterday on fear related to a credit issue in China, but there are also outstanding US debt ceiling and Fed tapering narratives that are market negative.

    However, even though selling was relentless during the day, there was a very strong buying wave at the end of the day.





    As a consequence, the Daily Money Flow picture looked positive across the board, even if the Cumulative Tick was negative.









    The ratio of sectors waiting for a short signal is now even getting further away from issuing a short signal.



    We can see below that the bounce continued overnight with prices already reverting above yesterday's open.



    Conclusion:

    We can see below that in terms of the New-highs-new-lows indicator, yesterday's pullback corresponds to 'buy the dip' past pullbacks.



    Of course, a market crash would offer a picture rather different such as the one we witnessed in March 2020, but nothing points to a coming crash. To the contrary, the FOMC announcement of tomorrow could lead to a renewed market strength, especially if there is no Chinese credit issue contamination.
