49.85% (+4.18% 1wk)

Status: Difficult Environment

The US Total Percentage of Stocks above their 50 Day, 150 Day & 200 Day Moving Averages (shown above) increased by +4.18% this week.

Therefore, the overall combined average is at 49.85% in the US market (NYSE and Nasdaq markets combined) above their short, medium and long term moving averages.

The combined average rebounded a little bit this week, regaining around 1/3 of the previous weeks decline, but it wasn't enough to regain either of the moving averages, closing -4.33% below its short-term 20 day MA and -2.69% below its 50 day MA (signal line). But in a very neutral overall field position, just under the 50% level. 

So it remains on a Difficult Environment status to start the new week, but in close proximity of the moving averages. Hence, the very short-term breadth measures will be in particular focus next week.

The Point and Figure (P&F) chart (shown above) was unchanged this week in a column of Os. So the P&F strategy remains on Defense (as it is in a column of Os), and P&F Bear Confirmed status in the middle of the field.

To reverse to a column of Xs (Offense) from the current position, it needs to close above the 52% level.

See the Bullish Percent article for more information on the P&F statuses.
