Market Internals 2011-06-19

2011 Jun 19 Sun 20:11:13 | by Lawrence

Following is the chart posted here back in the beginning of May from a previous Market Internals Update. image Who says breadth analog models do not work? The Tick16 Short Term index is showing extreme overbought condition. No typo. Overbought it is. 2 known ways to resolve this from historical data. 1. One last flush is needed to finish this drop. That will take S&P 500 down a total of 10 to 12% to finish off this drop. Currently S&P is down about 8 to 9%. If we get the flush, the market will find its bottom quickly and rally from there. 2. Someone put a floor to the market here. It happened before during various crisis that the stock market could just stuck there while the whole world falling apart. After the crisis is over, however, the market will be stuck here for a long time as many investors will no longer want to participate in something they cannot trust.

Market Internals 2011-06-12

Since last update, there were 2 attempts of 1% bounce. Both failed to get any legs. From both cases, the melt down mode were triggered leading to more selloff. 5% drop target was 1300 to slightly below - tagged, bounced and failed. 8% drop target is 1260 to slightly below - tagged and not bounced off that yet. Based on the development on the breadth chart (on front page), 3-Day Advance Issues is developing a divergence bottom. If Monday produces a bounce, especially from a gap down, it is very likely to have legs this time.

Market Internal Update 2011-05-10

As on last Friday, the 3-day advance issues was short term oversold. Thus it is expected a bounce should happen on Monday and that has already happened. Critical price level of 1350 in ES and 2400 in NQ has to block this move from going higher for ...
