On Tuesday I marked Aggressive Buying (green-at-top). New short trades are now eliminated for me at least until Significant Selling is marked again. As long as ES holds above 1864 (25dy poc) it is in a strong price location in the ST. Breadth numbers improved again, see below.
First Level Support = 1864 (25dy poc)
Second Level Support = 1835.50 (6mn poc)
Stocks>50dyma numbers: Nyse 76% (from 70%), Nasdaq 59% (from 51%), R2000 66% (from 59%). Numbers >50 are considered supportive.
Sentiment: My version of the Rydex Assets Ratio was slightly lower at 7.38. The ratio reached 8.39 on 03/13 which is the highest ratio in my database. The Rydex traders are extremely bullish and historically this has been a warning for the market.
