$NYSI daily over several years along with the plot
of SPY daily price closes --

* what took place in 1st half of 2018 &
4th quarter 2018
and
in January to March 2020?
when $NYSI was declining like it has been doing in second half of August and in September 2020, so far, in advance
of the SPY price action actually turning down
until many weeks after the $NYSI decline was well underway for several weeks/months in early 2018 and 3rd/4th quarter 2018 and in early 2020?

** when interpreting the S&P 500 daily internals as they now stand for the current week just ended,
it is obvious the absence of significantly positive daily #'s each day of the most recent week
presents some degree of a cautionary red flag about being confident in an immediate continuation of the price uptrend by SPY
