• Another distribution day.
  • In last few days the market has had a breadth climax.
  • Breadth on MM indicators reached extreme readings.
  • Such extreme readings invariably result in a pullback/correction/long term tops.
  • At this stage the selling is still slow.
  • But I see market struggling here.
  • If you see the top 20 stocks by dollar volume in 4% breakout, you would notice that large stocks have started to roll over.
  • We are looking at a possible top for this rally.
  • A 10 to 15% correction is a possibility from here.
  • Emerging market looked cooked and primed for a drop.
  • As long as the primary indicator is bullish I am still bullish.
  • If the 10 day cumulative breadth ratio goes below .5, I will be bearish.
  • At this stage I would still buy a EP with good catalyst.
