What is market breadth telling us
- 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.
