Gold Mining Stocks ETF/Gold Shares ETF Relative Strength Ratio (GDX/GLD) rose above its highs of the previous 10 months on 7/9/14 and remains systematically bullish. Absolute price rose above its highs of the previous 4 months on 7/9/14 and remains systematically bullish.

Agriculture, PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund ETF (DBA) absolute price broke down below its lows of the previous 4 months on 7/9/14, thereby reconfirming a significant downside price pullback.

The Small Cap Russell 2000 Index/Large Cap Relative Strength Ratio (IWM/SPY) fell below its lows of the previous 5 weeks on 7/9/14, thereby confirming its preexisting bearish trend.

The S&P Mid Cap 400/Large Cap Relative Strength Ratio (MDY/SPY) fell below its lows of the previous 6 weeks and crossed below its 50-day SMA on 7/9/14, thereby turning systematically bearish (from neutral).

Financial stock sector ETF (XLF) Relative Strength Ratio (XLF/SPY) fell below its lows of the previous 6 weeks on 7/9/14, thereby confirming its preexisting bearish trend.

Industrial stock sector ETF (XLI) Relative Strength Ratio (XLI/SPY) sagged further below its lows of the previous 8 months on 7/9/14, suggesting a significant downtrend.

The S&P 500 Composite Index (SPX: 1,972.83, up 0.46%) absolute price opened moderately higher on Wednesday. SPX turned choppy after the first 6 minutes but did not surrender all of its opening gain. After the Fed statement at 2:00 pm ET, SPX initially dipped to a higher low, then quickly reversed to the upside, rising to its peak of the day at 3:12 pm ET. SPX turned choppy again in the final 47 minutes. SPX closed above the open, above the midpoint of the day’s high-low range, and above the closing price of the previous trading day.

NYSE total volume fell 12% to a level 14% below its 200-day SMA. Generally, rising volume confirms the direction (up or down) of a price move, but falling volume may indicate diminishing power behind a price trend, which can suggest a price reversal ahead.

The Number of Daily Net New Highs on the NYSE (New Highs minus New Lows), now at 140, has been running below its peaks above 800 recorded in 2012 and 2013, when the S&P 500 was lower than it is now. So, this indicator still is diverging bearishly relative to last year’s levels.

Momentum is a leading indicator of price change, and failing price momentum is often followed by a downside correction. Short-term momentum oscillators RSI and MACD both turned down on 7/7/14, after failing to match their highs of 6/10/14–despite higher highs for the S&P 500 Index on which these oscillators are based. Furthermore, these same momentum oscillators consistently have remained below their highs of 2012 and 2013, despite much higher highs in the S&P 500 itself in 2014. Therefore, both oscillators have continued to demonstrate bearish divergence compared to the price of the underlying index, the S&P 500.

Stochastic (12,3,3) oscillator based on the S&P 500 turned down from a peak of 91 on 7/7/14, which was below its June peak above 98 set on 6/4/14, for another example of bearish divergence.

For the stock market, end/beginning of month and pre-holiday (4th of July) bullish seasonal tendencies have now expired, stock prices are overbought and overvalued, sentiment indicators are off the charts and into the danger zone, bearish momentum divergences have been accumulating, and there is a tendency for low trading volume on up days and rising trading volume on down days (generally, not always). These are challenges to a sustainable upside trend that the market has been ignoring for months.

Stock Market Indicators

The Dow Theory reconfirmed a Primary Tide Bull Market on 7/3/14 when both the Dow-Jones Industrial Average and the Dow-Jones Transportation Average rose to new all-time closing price highs.

NASDAQ 100 ETF/S&P 500 ETF Relative Strength Ratio (QQQ/SPY) rose further above its highs of the previous 3 months on 7/3/14. QQQ/SPY remains systematically neutral because the 50-day SMA is still below the 200-day SMA. Nevertheless, the 50-200 SMA spread has been narrowing since 6/5/14 such that a bullish crossover appears to be likely in days ahead. Absolute price of QQQ has been making 13-year highs and remains systematically bullish.

iShares MSCI BRIC Fund (BKF) Relative Strength Ratio (BKF/SPY) fell below its lows of the previous 8 years on 3/13/14, thereby reconfirming its preexisting long-term downtrend. The 50-day SMA remains in weak position below the 200-day SMA. BKF/SPY has underperformed since it peaked on 10/14/2010. Absolute price of BKF has been stuck in a trading range from 32.62 to 39.67 for about a year and has remained systematically neutral most of that time.

Emerging Markets Stocks ETF (EEM) Relative Strength Ratio (EEM/SPY) fell below its lows of the previous 8 years on 3/13/14, thereby reconfirming its preexisting long-term downtrend. The 50-day SMA remains in weak position below the 200-day SMA. Long term, EEM/SPY has underperformed since the ratio peaked on 10/14/2010. Absolute price of EEM has been stuck in a trading range from 36.16 to 45.34 for more than 2 years and has remained systematically neutral most of that time.

OEF/SPY crossed below its 50-day SMA on 6/24/14, thereby turning systematically bearish (from neutral). Large Caps tend to underperform Mid Caps and Small Caps in bullish general market trends as investors seek greater potential returns in more volatile, smaller stocks. On the other hand, Large Caps tend to outperform in bearish general market trends as investors seek the perceived relative stability and safety of large size.

The Small Cap Russell 2000 Index/Large Cap Relative Strength Ratio (IWM/SPY) fell below its lows of the previous 5 weeks on 7/9/14, thereby confirming its preexisting bearish trend. IWM/SPY crossed below its 50-day SMA on 7/8/14, thereby turning systematically bearish (from neutral).
