Record breadth readings

Troy Bombardia
2020-06-03
Various indices around the world are approaching record breadth readings.

Various indices around the world are approaching record breadth readings. For example, 97% of the S&P 500's members are above their 50 dma. This has only been matched by 2 other days from 1990-present:

Recently, 34% of the S&P's members were above their upper Bollinger Bands:

As a result, the average of these 2 breadth readings is at its highest level in years:

When average breadth was this high, the S&P's returns over the next 1-3 months were more bearish than random:

This has been particularly true over the past 10 years, when the 3 historical cases led to sizable pullbacks of 7-16% over the next 2 months:

Overseas, 95% of the Nikkei 225's members are above their 50 dma:

And recently 58% of the Nikkei's members were above their upper Bollinger Bands:

As a result, the average of these 2 breadth readings is at its highest level in years:

There are only 2 other cases with such extreme readings. One led to another leg down in the Nikkei's bear market, whereas the 2nd historical case did not lead to a pullback at all:

In Europe, 96% of the DAX's members are above their 50 dma:

And 43% of the DAX's members were above their upper Bollinger Bands:

As a result, the average of these 2 breadth readings is at its highest level in nearly half a decade:

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
