The indexes have been all over the place lately. Everything gets faded. Rallies get sold; dips get bought. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I&#8217;ll repeat what I stated yesterday. Within an uptrend, the market acts a certain way. If it stops acting as it should, we can conclude the uptrend no longer exits. Right now there are several indicators which have fallen to levels that have, during the rally off the March lows, led to bounces. Here are two. The 10-day MA of the put\/call and the percentage of S&amp;P stocks trading above their 10-day MAs. Failure of the market to bounce here, failure to adhere to the indicators, would suggest the market is changing.
