Assessing Market Action With Indicators And History

Comparatively Large Drops From 50-day Highs
While the SPX selloff yesterday was not terribly large (0.4%), it probably seemed it to most traders since we have not seen an SPX decline that large in a few weeks. The drop from a 50-day high triggered the study below.
While the size of the move over the next few days is not overwhelming, the
consistency is impressive. The stats certainly seem to suggest an upside edge.
In this blog I will be examining market action and quantifying my findings. Using sentiment, breadth, price and volume indicators - both standard and customized - I will try and uncover short-term edges which could be taken advantage of by market participants. I will frequently add opinion to these studies and may sometimes post opinions without quantifiable research behind them.
