\n———————————-
\nThe market is in the midst of a minor drop. Will stocks quickly right themselves and rally into the end of the year, or suffer a bigger correction, suggesting the market just isn\u2019t ready to break out and rally hard?<\/span>
\nThe indicators will guide us. They give us a look under the hood by acting differently in different market environments. Let\u2019s run through a few that will helps us answer the above question.<\/span>
\nThe AD Line at the NYSE<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe cumulative AD line (bottom pane) continues to make higher highs and higher lows. This is my top, long-term indicator. As long as it trends up while only experiencing shallow dips, the market\u2019s overall health should be considered up.<\/span>
\nThe 10-day of the AD line, which zooms in with the market\u2019s current pulse and hints at the near term, is noncommittal. It formed a negative divergence, inducing the recent market drop, but now isn\u2019t offering help. A dip below 0 and failure to quickly recover will lead to an extended pullback, lasting a couple weeks. A dip below the blue box would suggest a drop amounting to more than a minor drop is likely in order.<\/span>
\n\"\"
\nThe AD Volume Line at the Nasdaq<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe cumulative AD volume line at the Nas is trending up and recently hit a new high. Check.<\/span>
\nThe 10-day is hovering in the middle of its positive range, offering support for the market\u2019s trend. A negative divergence, where the indicator falls to 0, would be an issue. A drop below 0 that fails to recover would lead to a legit market pullback, but only a big move down would hint at anything more than a garden-variety \u201ccorrection within an uptrend.\u201d<\/span>
\n\"\"
\nPut\/Call<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe 10-day put\/call bottomed in mid-November, hinting a market top was likely in the works. Now that the indexes have dropped off, watch for the put\/call to roll over to mark a market bottom. If the market tries to rally but the put\/call continues up, the rally won\u2019t go far.<\/span>
\n\"\"
\nThe Percentage of SPX Stocks Above Their 20-, 50-, and 200-day Moving Averages<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe percentage of SPX stocks above their 20-day MAs has dropped below 50%. If the indicator lingers down here, the market is headed down further. It can push higher for a short period of time, but the math won\u2019t let it run while more than half the S&P is below their 20\u2019s.<\/span>
\nThe percentage above their 50\u2019s has dropped to a 2-month low, signaling declining support but not a dire situation. Sustained time below 55% would be an issue.<\/span>
\nThe percentage above their 200\u2019s is just now coming off a new high. Long term, as long as this indicator stays above 50%, dips will be buyable.<\/span>
\n\"\"
\nAverage True Range, Bollinger Band Width, VIX<\/strong><\/span>
\nMarkets rally on declining or low volatility and drop on expanding or high volatility. Both the ATR and BBW dropped to levels consistent with previous lows, perhaps suggesting the calm, peaceful market may wake up soon. The VIX matched its lows of the year.<\/span>
\nRotating up is acceptable but extended rallies from these indicators would suggest something more than an innocent pullback is in the works.<\/span>
\n\"\"
\nThe market is pulling back. As of now, nothing suggests we\u2019ll get anything more than a very normal pullback within an uptrend. It\u2019s only if the indicators move to much more extreme levels that traders should get concerned the bull market will have a bigger interruption.<\/span>
\nHappy trading<\/span>
