Info!! Indicator Review For July 7Th

Last week's indicator review noted that nosotros were oversold, but that indicators were weakening together with it was unsafe to endeavor to grab the falling knives. That turned out to endure pretty skilful advice, every bit nosotros became fifty-fifty to a greater extent than oversold (top chart)--reaching levels seen at recent intermediate-term marketplace bottoms--but continued to encounter an expansion of stocks making novel lows (middle chart). Buying sentiment, every bit measured past times the cumulative TICK (bottom chart) remains nowhere to endure seen, every bit bounces convey led to reversals. In short, the weak marketplace has larn weaker. Traders looking for signs of capitulation inwards the commons indicators convey been frustrated; it's been a grinding refuse rather than a sudden panic.

The advance-decline lines specific to NYSE mutual stocks together with S&P 500 issues convey both moved to comport marketplace lows this past times week. We've likewise seen an expansion inwards the number of stocks making fresh 52-week lows. The over-300 novel lows alongside NYSE mutual stocks eclipsed the March level, though the 90+ novel lows alongside S&P 500 stocks rest beneath the peaks from Jan together with March (though soundless expanding). Only 14% of NYSE stocks are trading higher upwardly their 50-day moving averages, likewise quite an oversold grade commensurate with recent intermediate-term marketplace bottoms.

When markets brand a bottom, nosotros similar to encounter divergences together with a narrowing of participation to the downside. Recently, however, the reverse has been the case. Sectors that had been strong, such every bit materials, convey joined the downside together with the modest caps, which had been showing relative strength, convey been quite weak of late. Indeed, entirely 14% of S&P 600 modest cap issues are trading higher upwardly their 50-day moving averages, downwards from 70% inwards May; a grade similar to the marketplace overall, every bit noted above.

With the widening number of issues making novel lows, the falling advance-decline lines, together with the weak sentiment/TICK, I in 1 trial once to a greater extent than am non inclined to endeavor to alternative the bottom. We're overdue for a bounce, together with we're at oversold levels that convey been associated with marketplace rallies. Until nosotros encounter only about stabilization alongside the housing together with banking issues, however, I suspect it volition endure hard to sustain whatever such rallies. As always, I volition endure updating many of these indicators inwards my daily Twitter posts, along with links to posts together with articles on marketplace moving themes.
