% of stocks above/below 20& 50MA


The Ratio between stocks above & below 50MA is 0.5, while that for 20MA is 0.1. 

The 10-day cumulative ratio for stocks above 50MA is 0.9 now. A value >2 is good for swing trades on the long side.


Bias


On a modified Stockbee market monitor, the short-term indicator of 13% up in 34 days is now negative, indicating that we are now in a short-term downtrend. 

The intermediate 25% plus in a month & long-term metric of stocks 25% plus quarter stay positive.

4% up/down in 1 day


The 10-day cumulative ratio (10-DCR) between stocks up & down 4% in a day is now way below 2. Look for reversal setups from here, as a technical bounce is highly probable.

When market is in bearish phase, a fresh bull move starts when 10-DCR first time crosses above 2.
