CHART OF THE DAY
Short-Term Market Breadth Deteriorates Further 📉
Trend following is one of the most prominent tenets of technical analysis, and one of the most common ways to identify trends is using a moving average. The most widely used timeframes on Wall Street include 20 days (short-term), 50 days (medium-term), and 200 days (long-term). 🧭
Some analysts take this one step further by applying this indicator to an entire list of index components to get a measure of the market’s “breadth,” or how the underlying stocks are performing relative to the index itself.
Stocktwits user @allstarcharts shows this in practice below, showing a spike in S&P 500 stocks that are below their 50-day moving average but still above their 200-day moving average.
This would suggest that the short—to medium-term trend has shifted lower for many stocks while their longer-term trend remains healthy…at least for now. 😬
