Back on March 7th, I began noticing a drying upward of stocks making fresh comport marketplace lows relative to January, noting some cracks inwards the foundation of the comport market. These divergences were too apparent in my finally indicator review, which was waiting for stabilization amid the fiscal stocks earlier aggressively taking the long side. The marketplace did give us fresh toll lows on Mon of this past times week, precisely in 1 lawsuit once to a greater extent than the divergences relative to Jan were present. With increasing Fed activism, those fiscal stocks rallied for the residue of the week, posting a three-week closing high inwards the banking index ($BKX). Moreover, the same is truthful of the housing sector index ($HGX), which managed to concord inwards a higher house its toll lows from January. As I write, the ES futures are knocking on the door of of import three-week resistance closed to 1345 inwards the June contract. Are those financials leading the wide marketplace higher?
Let's come across what the indicators are saying:
New Highs/Lows - We tin come across from the pinnacle nautical chart that, despite vigorous buying inwards the sectors hitting hardest past times the recent selling, novel 20-day highs maintain to lag novel lows. Indeed, fifty-fifty amongst Thursday's toll strength, nosotros had 608 stocks across the NYSE, NASDAQ, in addition to ASE brand fresh 20-day novel highs against 1391 novel lows. This suggests that, at to the lowest degree in addition to hence far, the buying is selective in addition to non lifting the wide listing of stocks significantly. We volition need to come across expanded novel high strength--and for certain greatly diminished novel lows--before nosotros tin conclude that the recent bounce is anything to a greater extent than than brusk covering. With eighteen novel 52-week highs in addition to 73 novel lows amid NYSE mutual stocks on Thursday, nosotros too saw an expansion of novel lows, precisely nosotros are good off the 300+ novel lows registered on Monday.
Composite Money Flow - In the bottom chart, I combined the raw coin flows across the xl stocks from the 8 S&P 500 sectors that I reviewed, in addition to hence that nosotros could come across how amount five-day coin flows convey been running vis a vis SPY. What nosotros tin come across is that amount coin menstruation has been running below the nix draw of piece of occupation for the nearly utilisation in addition to is negative at present. This supports what we're seeing amongst the novel high/low data: despite the recent toll bounce, we're non all the same seeing large influxes of funds into equities. I volition hold out watching this indicator, along amongst the novel highs/lows, on whatever examination of the above-mentioned multi-week resistance inwards ES to handicap the odds of upside breakout vs. reversal. That's an consequence that has of import implications for the comport marketplace in addition to its longevity.
Advance-Decline Lines - The Advance-Decline Lines specific to the NYSE mutual stocks, SPX stocks, S&P 600 little caps, in addition to NASDAQ 100 issues all made novel lows finally calendar week in addition to are alone modestly hovering inwards a higher house those lows. The AD Lines specific to the 8 S&P 500 sectors reviewed this past times weekend for coin flows too are nigh their comport lows; none is all the same showing sustained strength.
I volition post service a variety analysis of the Cumulative NYSE TICK subsequently this week. Suffice it to enjoin that the TICK supports the findings from the iii sets of indicators above: alone tepid forcefulness coming off the recent toll lows. I need to come across greater testify of sustained buying involvement earlier terminal that we've seen a plow inwards the recent comport market.
