S5TH trade ideas
S&P price vs Stocks above 200 day avgJust an idea I was working on to relate the price of the S&P (SPX) to the number of stocks above the 200 day (S5TH). The pattern of 200avg vs price is not always clear. You can see that since Sept 2021 the 200avg has fallen noticably, but the S&P has conintued to climb higher. I general see this as invetors flocking to the big heavy weights like Apple and Amazon that have an oversized influence on the S&P due to their weighting. More often than not, as the 200avg declines the S&P levels off or starts to fall. One thing that does seem very clear is that once it falls down to 40% of the S&P stocks above 200avg, then a sizeable correction is upon us. I marked them in the chart with a vertical line.
It is anyone's guess when the massive bubble will pop, but if the trends hold then I am guessing around May or June of this year.
S&P 500 70% above 200D MA, but fallingS&P 500 vs its stocks above the 200 day MA: Bottom chart shows the S&P since 2008. The recent run up on the chart hides many of the details on this weekly chart. The chart on top, tracks the percentage of stocks above their 200 day Moving average for stocks that make up the S&P 500.
In April of 2021, 96% of the S&P stocks traded above their 200 day MA. Currently the moving average is catching up to the basket of stocks as just over 70% remain above their 200 day MA. Something I watch for is a break below 70% shows a good chance the S&P can see a 5%-10% minimum correction. It has been over a year since we last saw a 10% correction….
September and October can be choppy for all markets. Lets hope that if we get a correction, it respects the 5%-10% move….
DANGER DANGER HIGH VOLTAGEWith a track record dating back to '09, anytime more than 94% of companies in the S&P trade above their 200-day MA, there is an ensuing sell-off. This doesn't indicate an extreme sell-off but rather a cooling of the coals that have become too hot. But still, look out below. When the VIX goes so low and this indicator goes so high, it is a red flashing signal to put on some protection so you don't lose your hard-earned gains.
Most of Bottoms of SPX, Most Tops of SPX (Back pine pointing )Nothing out of the usual here. Just a quick illustration about where did the tops and bottoms occurred. Each line represent an index reading either a top of spx of a bottom of spx. We did have a top with 49% reading !!! and a bottom with 81% reading these are the most extremes readings and we've never seen them again!!!
wish you all the best.
SPX Stocks Above 200MA The S&P 500 Stocks above 200MA is a market breadth indicator that provides information about where the momentum is at the time. The chart shows weakness as there is a bearish RSI divergence after the indicator was rejected from the lower line of the broken channel. A break of the green line might give bears momentum to the downside and achieve a further retracement on the S&P.
