Market Breadth


Market breadth slightly less worse from last week’s levels. 

Higher timeframes still have bearish bias, while lower & intermediate timeframes are only mildly oversold.

⦿ 4% → 21% above 20MA (near oversold)

⦿ 11% → 21% above 50MA (near oversold)

⦿ 20% → 26% above 150MA (bearish)

⦿ 25% → 31% above 200MA (bearish)


% of stocks above/below 20& 50MA


The Ratio between stocks above & below 50MA is 0.3, while that for 20MA is 0.29. 

The 10-day cumulative ratio for stocks above 50MA is 0.18 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 stays negative for past 2 weeks. While the intermediate 25% plus in a month is negative since past week, the long-term metric of stocks 25% plus quarter is back to being positive.

4% up/down in 1 day


The 10-day cumulative ratio (10-DCR) between stocks up & down 4% in a day is still below 1.

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


Primary Breadth Ratio


Overall, the market is now bullish, as the number of stocks up 25% plus in a quarter is now greater than that down 25% plus in a quarter. The ratio between the two is the primary breadth ratio, which is now 1.05.
