Market Breadth


Market breadth slightly worsened from last week's levels. Higher timeframes still have bearish bias, while lower & intermediate timeframes are only mildly oversold.

⦿ 21% → 24% above 20MA (near oversold)

⦿ 21% → 15% above 50MA (near oversold)

⦿ 26% → 21% above 150MA (bearish)

⦿ 31% → 24% above 200MA (bearish)


% of stocks above/below 20& 50MA


The Ratio between stocks above & below 50MA is 0.2, while that for 20MA is 0.35. 

The 10-day cumulative ratio for stocks above 50MA is 0.2 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 3 weeks, & the intermediate 25% plus in a month is negative since past 2 weeks.

The long-term metric of stocks 25% plus quarter is back to being negative this week.

4% up/down in 1 day


The 10-day cumulative ratio (10-DCR) between stocks up & down 4% in a day is now above 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 bearish, as the number of stocks up 25% plus in a quarter is now lesser than that down 25% plus in a quarter. The ratio between the two is the primary breadth ratio, which is now 0.47.
