Yesterday the Nasdaq Composite Index made new 52 week highs, and here is a look at both the Composite Daily chart and the Breadth in the new 52 week highs minus new 52 week lows in that Index year to date.

COMP NH-NL


In the S&P 500, the Price/Volume Divergence continues.  Notice the volume has been not only below average on the push to new 52 week highs but it is falling off a cliff with the Bullish Price action.

Russell 2000

This is even more glaring in the Russell 2000, where the volume was as light as any non-holiday in the past 12 months.


Lastly here is a look at the NYSE Daily Index chart showing new 52 week highs, and the NYSE new 52 week highs minus new 52 week lows.  The NY NH-NL didn't even get above two day's ago net figure.

May 1st, begins the next issue for the swing/position trade model portfolio, and I look forward to sharing the trade plan in regards to any short opportunities in the major US Equity Indexes in the coming months with my trading methodology.
