By straight off readers are aware that measures I rail closely are buying pressure level (demand) inward the marketplace versus selling pressure level (supply). My measures are derived from a decomposition of the NYSE TICK, which is issued yesteryear the New York Stock exchange. The TICK is a running total, updated many times per minute, of the number of stocks trading on upticks versus the number trading on downticks. My buying pressure level as well as selling pressure level measures dissever upticking from downticking inward the fourth dimension series, treating describe as well as weakness equally distinct variables. While take away as well as provide are reasonably good correlated inward the short-run, that is non the example over a menstruation of days. Any given menstruation tin demonstrate high amounts of buying as well as high amounts of selling; high amounts of buying as well as depression amounts of selling; depression amounts of buying as well as depression amounts of selling; as well as depression amounts of buying as well as high amounts of selling. Indeed, the interplay alongside buying as well as selling pressure level is a useful agency of tracking phases of intermediate-term marketplace cycles.
As yous tin encounter from the charts above, we've of late made fresh highs inward SPY. During that period, we've seen below average buying pressure level (the zero degree is average) as well as to a greater extent than than average selling pressure level (values below zero demonstrate heavier selling). That suggests that to a greater extent than stocks accept been trading on downticks than upticks, fifty-fifty equally the wide marketplace average has risen to novel highs. This is the starting fourth dimension departure we've seen inward the cumulative NYSE TICK inward many months.
This excess of provide pressures over take away helps line concern human relationship for the weak breadth of the recent rally. Interestingly, yesterday nosotros hovered at novel highs inward the index, exactly solely 500 stocks across all exchanges traded at fresh one-month highs, spell 389 touched fresh one-month lows. Volume inward SPY has equally good been unusually depression during the yesteryear several sessions. Since 2013, when SPY book has been inward its lowest quartile, the side yesteryear side 10 days inward SPY accept averaged a loss of -.08%. When book has been inward its highest quartile, the side yesteryear side 10 days inward SPY accept averaged a make of 1.41%.
A intermission to novel highs on expanded book as well as breadth would clearly violate the designing of weakness noted above. Until that point, I don't encounter an border inward chasing the upside. More on this topic at this evening's gathering.
