AAII Sentiment shows that individual investors are significantly more bullish than bearish. As of 5/23/13, there are 48.97% bulls, 29.45% neutral, and 21.58% bears. This was the lowest percentage of bears in more than a year, since 2/9/12.
Investors Intelligence Sentiment confirmed that stock market newsletter advisors are extremely bullish. The percentage of Bulls rose to 55.2% as of 5/22/13, the highest in more than 2 years, since 4/13/11.
iShares MSCI BRIC Fund (BKF) Relative Strength Ratio (BKF/SPY) fell below the lows of the previous 4 years on 5/23/13, reconfirming its major downtrend.
Emerging Markets Stocks ETF (EEM) Relative Strength Ratio (EEM/SPY) fell below the lows of the previous 4 years on 5/23/13, reconfirming its preexisting major downtrend.
Foreign Stocks ETF (EFA) Relative Strength Ratio (EFA/SPY) fell below the lows of the previous 7 weeks on 5/23/13.
Copper, iPath DJ-UBS Copper TR Sub-Index ETN (JJC) price whipsawed back down below its 50-day SMA on 5/23/13, thereby turning systematically bearish again (from neutral). Longer term, JJC has been mostly bearish since peaking at 61.69 on 2/14/11. “Dr. Copper” is widely accepted as one of the better indicators of investor confidence (or lack thereof) in the global industrial economy, so price weakness in Copper implies a weak economic outlook.
Utilities (XLU) Stock Sector Relative Strength Ratio (XLU/SPY) fell below its lows of the previous 2 years on 5/23/13, thereby confirming its preexisting major downtrend.
U.S. stocks gapped down sharply on the open but soon bottomed at 10:01 a.m. ET on Thursday. Stock prices clawed back all of that overnight loss before slipping somewhat to the minus side in the final 70 minutes before the close.
The Bullish Majority argues that the stock market remains resilient because bullish momentum feeds on itself and the “Buy-the-Dip” mentality won’t be finished until the Fed is. (If only it were that simple!)
The S&P 500 Composite Index (SPX: 1,650.51) finished down 0.29%, the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.11%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined by 0.08%, and the Dow Jones Transportation Average rose 0.06%. Breadth was negative, with 1,610 Advances and 2,412 Declines, and with 1,797 million shares Advancing Stock Volume compared to 2,443 million Declining Stock Volume.
NYSE total volume fell 12% to a level 20% above its 200-day SMA. Rising volume on a price decline confirms that price decline, while falling volume on a decline rise may indicate diminishing selling pressure behind that decline.
Some, but not all, daily stock market price momentum oscillators continue to diverge bearishly, as they have for many weeks and months already, even as most of the stock price indexes rose to higher highs. Some oscillators have remained below their highs of January, 2013, as well as below their 2011-2012 highs. For example, RSI(14) based on the S&P 500 Index peaked at 74.46 on 1/29/13 but was only able to rise to 72.51 on 5/21/13 when the S&P 500 closed at a much higher high. In addition, the percentage of stocks in the S&P 500 trading above their 50-day SMAs, and the number of daily net new highs on the NYSE failed to rise to higher highs. Other momentum oscillators recently confirmed higher price highs, however, so the evidence appears mixed at this time. Momentum oscillator divergences are important because they are leading indicators of price.
There has been no debate at all about the stock market trend from 11/16/12 to 5/21/13. Recognizing whatever has been happening in the recent past does not require any analysis. Much more difficult is recognizing when a trend is overextended and due for a significant correction. That would have to be based on analysis of normal market behavior observed over many years past. With the Fed providing massive artificial stimulus by buying securities at an unprecedented pace of $85 billion of a month, the bullish majority of investors have been questioning whether past normal standards of market behavior apply. Massive money printing out of thin air can’t continue forever, however, and the markets may be vulnerable once investors begin to anticipate the end of inflationary monetary policy.
