Re: Market Breadth
The long term NYSE Bullish Percent Index ($BPNYA) is getting closer to breaking down into bear confirmed status, but isn't quite there yet and could still be saved as the short term NYSE Percent of Stocks Above 50 Day Moving Average ($NYA50R) is hugely oversold at levels not seen since the August to September period last year. So short term risk is now in the low category, however, as you can see from previous moves to these levels, a few months of basing can occur. So for a longer term investor it is time to start making your shopping list imo and adding small positions gradually in the quality names that show the best relative strength which will bottom first. As stocks don't all bottom at the same time and the breadth charts aren't indicating any let up in the selling as yet.
