Advances and Declines

Past week's decline has been supported by high bearish volume in the Nasdaq 100 sector. As a result today's session was under the Nasdaq 100 attempt to push the market higher while other indexes remained flat. US Dollar index was down today and it was another factor that hold the market form further decline.

We had strong decline yesterday during which advance/decline volume and advance/decline issues on the S&P 500 and NYSE composite indexes has hit very low readings. As a rule such readings in technical analysis are considered with oversold condition and panic selling and are usual noted at the bottom of a correction. However, current decline did not generated any noticeable bearish volume surges on the S&P 500, NYSE Composite and Russell 2000 indexes. Yes, we saw high volume on the Nasdaq 100, however, the Nasdaq 100 index is not volume leading stock market index. Because of these low advance/decline readings we may see some bounce up, yet, I'm skeptical that it could be end of correction.

From the money flow prospective, we may see positive money flow on 1-min time-frame, however, 5-min, 15-min, 30-min and hourly time-frames have negative or very close to negative money flow on the S&P 500, DJI and Nasdaq 100 indexes. From this point we may expect negative trading tomorrow at the market open. However, emini index futures are already traded now about half of percent up which, on other hand, suggests positive trading tomorrow at the open.

I would continue monitoring US Dollar index, as it looks like S&P 500 index continues to move in opposite to this index direction.
