Technical warnings have piled up By: SentimenTrader | January 19, 2022
Near the end of December, there was a surge in buying pressure in many stocks. That led to positive breadth thrusts in the S&P 500 and even among broader securities traded on the NYSE. Markets have not reacted well since, which is a worry.
From a longer-term point of view, there are other concerns. Over the past six months, there have been many days when indexes like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite have reached a 52-week high. However, within mere days, more stocks and other securities were trading at 52-week lows than 52-week highs.
That type of behavior has triggered a cluster of Titanic Syndrome warnings for securities on the NYSE.
Those haven't just been firing on the NYSE. While fewer lately, there have also been a bunch of signals among securities traded on the Nasdaq.
When we combine the signals on both exchanges and tally them up over the past 6 months, there have been 34 signals. In other words, nearly 30% of all days since July have seen a Titanic Syndrome warning on either the NYSE or Nasdaq exchanges. This is the 3rd-highest reading in almost 40 years.
