Today’s Chart of the Day was shared on Twitter by Michael Turvey of TD Ameritrade (@MikeTurvey_TDA). It’s a weekly chart of the S&P 500 over the past year. The S&P 500 booked a decent gain of 1.75% this week, marking the second straight weekly gain. Michael points out that the MACD signal line is close to rising above 0, which would be yet another bullish confirmation signal. There are some notable risks brewing under the surface, including frothy sentiment and weakening breadth. Market internals are certainly worth paying attention to, but they come secondary to price, and for now, price is telling us that the trend remains higher. Keep it simple; the trend is your friend until the end when it bends.

If the 100 smallest stocks in the S&P 500 doubled from here, the impact on the index would be a gain of just under 2.5%.

$NDX is obviously stretched. But is it a “bubble?” 24-month rate of change vs. $SPX is currently 29%, far below 100% threshold associated with 40 historic cases since 1928. See attached thread. https://t.co/rtgXyLEfL2

Since S&P’s latest peak on 6/8, NASDAQ has continued to climb while S&P has moved sideways … yet, breadth getting decisively weaker, with % of members > 50d moving averages persistently falling (for NASDAQ, lowest since April)

Instead of breadth, I’d keep two eyes on this. Pretty consistent pattern after getting into the basement. Last 4 days avg of 0.43. Took a little more time in 2011 $cpce $spx pic.twitter.com/9iLAMkfLxF

Here, a daily plot of the #SP500. My best guess is that we are in the midst of a corrective a-b-c pattern that could retrace a third of the gains (down to 2800 to 2900), before the up-trend resumes. #SPX pic.twitter.com/3C3XSnkv7n
