SPXA200R S&P 500 Stocks Above 200-Day MA Trending Lower

The opinions of most Wall Street pundits, analysts, traders, strategists and market participants are worthless. After all, the same jack*sses on television now are the same ones that told you to put your life savings into stocks in 2007-2008. There are a few worth paying attention to, however, and one is Louise Yamada a seasoned technician. Yamada has remained bullish over the last couple years but appears to be wavering and concerned over the last month that stocks may be running into a rough patch ahead.

She cites the number of stocks above the 200-day MA shown in the chart above. Note that while the broad market (SPX) continues higher it comes with less and less participation over the last two years. In a robust and sustainable market, the chart above should be sloping up not down. Big-time stocks such as AAPL are supporting the elevated stock index prices but the broad market is fading.
