Lacking red hot momentum

This was the market few days before the major one day dip in February. Notice the 50% plus was at 19 and 25% plus in month was at 154. That was red hot momentum. The 65 day indicator was below 200 indicating possible turn around.
Since then the market has gone up but on individual stocks the momentum has been lukewarm as you can see in below market monitor figures.

This lack of momentum is making the moves on individual stocks smaller and few of the 100% plus stocks have really gone up the way they normally do. You get best results for strategy like 100% plus after a market correction of 10 days plus.

You now have 8 stocks up 50% or more in 1 month. Per your earlier observation, if this # gets down to 3 the market is due for a rally. But you seem to feel the market is tired and is due for a decline. Is my understanding correct?

I agree market is looking due for a correction, but who's going to sell into the favorable seasonality and IRA contribution week?

Yes because the number is stuck at 8 to 10 for long time so on individual stocks the moves are of lesser magnitude. What it means is stocks are breaking out but not going up faster post breakout.
The indicator is not perfect, it just indicates possible reversal zones on long or short side.
