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.
