On Monday, stock prices opened lower and continued to fall most of day. The S&P 500 Composite Index (SPX: 1,552.36) finished down 2.30%, the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 2.38, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined by 1.79, and the Dow Jones Transportation Average closed lower by 3.81.

Daily price momentum oscillators have been diverging bearishly for many weeks and months while price indexes rose to higher highs. Momentum oscillators have remained below their highs of January, 2013, and 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 67.28 on 4/11/13 when the S&P 500 closed at a higher high. And MACD(12,26,9) peaked at 17.88 on 1/29/13 but was only 11.48 on 4/11/13. Bearishly diverging momentum is a problem because momentum is a leading indicator of price.
There are more divergences. The Dow Jones Transportation Average and Russell 2000 Small Cap Index failed to rise to higher highs in April. 2013 to confirm the S&P 500 and Dow Industrials. In addition, the following indicators based on the S&P 500 failed to rise to new highs: the percentage of stocks in the S&P 500 trading above their 50-day SMAs and the Bullish Percentage of stocks in the S&P 500 in Point-and-Figure Chart uptrends. Finally, NYSE Net New Highs failed to rise above highs of January, 2013.
The Art of Contrary Thinking has been calling for questioning overwhelming bullish sentiment. Objective investor sentiment data clearly have demonstrated extremely high degrees of optimism and bullish complacency, matching or exceeding extremes at past market price tops. The pendulum of emotion tends to swing too far in one direction, but the market mood always reverts to the mean–eventually. Sentiment extremes are a leading indicator of price.
