Stock Market Rydex Bull Bear Investor Sentiment Ratio
Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment Jul 16, 2010 - 11:24 AM GMTBy: Guy_Lerner
Every week I present the following chart in our sentiment round up. See figure 1. It is the Rydex total bull to bear ratio. The indicator in the lower panel of figure 1 measures all the assets in the Rydex bullish oriented equity funds divided by the sum of assets in the bullish oriented equity funds plus the assets in the bearish oriented equity funds. When the indicator is green, the value is low and there is fear in the market; this is where market bottoms are forged. When the indicator is red, there is complacency in the market. There are too many bulls and this is when market advances stall.
Figure 1. Rydex Total Bull/ Bear Ratio/ weekly
In general, the indicator is responsive enough that it tracks price changes relatively quickly. However, over the past two weeks the indicator has headed lower while prices have headed higher. This is unusual. In other words, the Rydex market timers have not been buying into the rally. Typically, these traders are wrong on the markets, but they have yet to turn bullish despite the 10% gains over 10 trading days.
