The Most Split S&P 500 In History

Jason Goepfert
2019-06-18

Split index

With the recent surge in stocks, more than 20% of them in the S&P 500 hit a 52-week high. But the percentage of stocks mired in a bear market, or at least 20% off their highs, hasn’t come down by much.

This leaves a split index, with a lot of stocks at either a new high, or in bear market territory. Split markets can highlight dangerous market conditions, like we saw near the end of 2017. The broader the split, the more dangerous they tend to be, though, and so far we’re not seeing anything like we did in late 2017 through early 2018.

On hold

Stocks surged off the early June low, with the S&P 500 jumping more than 5% in only a week. Since then, it has gone flat, without a move more than 0.5% for six straight days.

While this seems heavily influenced by the looming FOMC meeting, other times the index surged then went flat consistently led to further gains.

New model

Eric has posted a new model to the site, the Short-Term Combined Model. It is an ensemble model he built using machine learning methods, comprised of 14 shorter-term indicators that we track on the site. Annualized returns when above threshold are -16.0% versus +85.0% when below threshold. It has given some very interesting short-term signals, especially when spiking below -10. The 20-day average just curled up from below -6, which has had a very strong record of preceding gains.

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.
