Technology stock sector ETF Relative Strength Ratio (XLK/SPY) turned systematically neutral (from bearish) on 8/13/13 when XLK/SPY crossed back up above its 50-day SMA. Absolute price confirmed a significant uptrend on 8/13/13 when it rose above its highs of the previous 12 years.
U.S. stock market price indexes turned choppy on Tuesday but managed to close moderately above the open, above the previous day’s high, and above the midpoint of the day’s high-low range. The S&P 500 Composite Index (SPX: 1,694.16) finished higher by 0.28%.
Although the bullish majority was still willing to buy the dip again on Tuesday, the SPX is nearly unchanged over the past 3 weeks, which suggests a loss of upside price momentum.
NYSE total volume rose 8% a level 11% 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 Cumulative Up-Down Volume Line and the Cumulative Daily Advance-Decline on the NYSE fell on Tuesday. In July and so far in August, both failed to rise above their May highs; the S&P 500 rose to a new high at 1,709.67 on 8/2/13, but Volume and Breadth did not rise to higher highs. Therefore, both Volume and Breadth remain bearishly divergent relative to the price indexes. In addition, the Net Number of New Highs-Lows remains far below its May high, thereby diverging bearishly as well.
Popular price momentum oscillators based on SPX, such as RSI(14) and MACD(12,26,9), failed to rise above their May highs in recent weeks to confirm new highs by the price indexes. So, both oscillators remain bearishly divergent.
