#HedgeFunds began adding to their net shorts in #BITCOIN futures 6 months ago. Bitcoin, under $10k back then, has more than quadrupled. These traders remain heavily net short.

Margin debt continues to inch higher toward the May '18 record of $668.9bn. $SPX down in both Sep and Oct; margin debt up in both, to $659.3bn. Up a massive $180bn since Mar low (in both margin debt and #stocks). A new high in margin debt probable this month, as SPX up 11% so far

#HedgeFunds reduce net longs in $SPX futures by 32.4%. Cash (3265) does not confirm last week's potentially bearish weekly spinning top. That said, some opening 4 bears, as today's reversal occurs at daily upper BB. 10-day at 3246 crucial. At 67.7, daily RSI drops back below 70.

#HedgeFunds again switched back to net short $SPX futures. Cash down 0.3% this week -- 1st down week in 7. Slight opening for bears. Bulls nevertheless defended 10-day on Wed-Fri. Average flattish. Momentum slowing.

3rd weekly high in a row! #HedgeFunds' net shorts in $VIX futures inch up to yet another record. Cash down a smidge, so the strategy is working, but long term they could be picking up pennies in front of a dozer. Historically, cash does not peak until these traders get net long.

#HedgeFunds switched back to net long $SPX futures. Despite new -- and newer -- highs in the cash, they are yet to aggressively go net long. After going sideways for several sessions, the cash stages another mini-breakout Friday.
