The Market Perspective: Market Up Against Resistance

The Great Depression

Benjamin Roth: The Great Depression: A Diary
It's all here, times change people don't -the endless govt programs that fail to stimulate the private sector -the ups and downs of the economy, the veterans pension stimulates just as the housing credit did, until of course the money runs out -Roth is a attorney in Youngstown Ohio who kept a diary regarding the economy from 1930 until WW II breaks out, he is objective, candid, and forthright which is more than we get from Washington DC now or then highly recommended

Market Up Against Resistance

Weekend Feb 15, 2020

The actual S & P Idex is in purple. The negative divergence is the number of S& P stocks above their 200 day MA, Fewer stocks above that average means that breadth is deteriorating. The move to new highs is carried by fewer stocks with heavier weightings.

This has been going on for some time, the MAs have not been able to better the 80+% mark which is understandable.

And we have a double top on the index stretching from early 2018 to now. Correction in store anyone?
