Market Overview

Aggregated Leveraged ETFs Short Sale Volume (Proprietary)

Data as of 2025-04-02

This indicator, developed by Zhengyang Yao, is designed to effectively predict bull and bear markets. It identifies a bull market when the moving average (MA) of QQQ trends upward while the MA of short-sale volume declines. Conversely, a bear market is indicated when QQQ’s MA trends downward and short-sale volume’s MA increases. This correlation is logical, as investors typically increase short selling of risky assets, such as leveraged ETFs, during bearish periods.

Leveraged ETFs: TQQQ, SOXL, QLD, SSO, FNGU, SPXL, TECL, UPRO, TNA, FAS.

QQQ ATM Put/Call Ratio (Proprietary)

Data as of 2025-03-27

The QQQ ATM Put/Call Ratio is a proprietary indicator developed by Zhengyang Yao that helps investors gauge market sentiment by comparing the cost of at‑the‑money put options to call options. When the ratio is below 1, it means calls are more expensive than puts—a bullish signal that actually indicates T+1 sentiment (expectations for the next trading day) rather than today's outlook. Conversely, when the ratio is above 1, puts are pricier than calls, signaling bearish sentiment. This unique metric, not found on any online sources, offers a forward-looking perspective on market dynamics.
