From last week's posting: What if the number of Very Strong stocks in the market was in a "down trend" while the number of Very Weak stocks in an "up trend" ... what would you say?

The chart below shows the actual number of stocks in both categories during the past 25 days. Note that the blue line representing Very Strong stocks has been making lower/lows, while the red line representing Very Weak stocks has been making higher/lows. So this is showing a slight on-going negative bias and one that corresponds to the down trending channel that the SPY has been seeing in the past few weeks. See the next chart for today's update data ...

Here is what happened since last week ...

I drew lines from the high/lows which occurred on May 29th, to where the levels were yesterday.

Looking at the chart, is becomes clear that the number of Very Strong stocks have trended lower, while the number of Very Weak stocks took the lead and trended higher. This is saying that the Bears have the advantage over the Bears.

While the chart may look simple, it requires our computers to analyze "every stock" on four major indexes and count how many stocks were getting very strong or very weak on a daily basis. This analysis is run every night and the data is used in Ratio computations that are posted on our subscriber site. (FYI ... "Every stock" is defined as stocks that have a value of at least two dollars or more.)
