A very lopsided breadth for last 10 days.

  • There is a high probability of correction in next 2 to 5 days.
  • The correction may be just a minor dip in overall trend .
  • That has been the trend so far since March.
  • However if you are not positioned right and have lot of overextended stocks you can suffer sharp draw-downs.
  • We have had a very lopsided breadth for last 10 days.
  • The cumulative breadth ratio is at 6.11. Which means in last 10 days for every 1 stock down 4% there were 6 stocks up 4% plus.
  • New sectors continue to breakout.
  • Stocks which are currently overextended are vulnerable.
  • But we continue to find stock breaking out from consolidation.
  • Market is also shifting its focus to growth stocks.
  • IBD 100/200 are now having breakouts and follow through.

This is the lowest level I have seen in MM since
I have been tracking this data for last 8 to 9 years.
This year everything is abnormal.
We will get a correction soon.
But other secondary indicators are not at extremes.
So move might have more legs.

6.11We had lot of buying in last 10 days.
So you see cumulative ratio has turned above 6.
Typically the buying persists for sometime after this hppens.
So the correction might be just a pullback.
