The technicals are starting to look shaky, for all sectors, according to Bespoke Investment Group (BIG).<\/p>\n

BIG:<\/a><\/p>\n

The light red and green regions represent between one and two standard deviations above (or below) the 50-day moving average (DMA), while the dark red (and green) shading represents more than two standard deviations above (or below) the index’s 50-DMA. As shown in the chart, the S&P 500 and all ten sectors are currently trading at overbought levels, so the recent strength in equities has been a tide that has lifted nearly all boats. To further illustrate this point, we would note that as of yesterday’s close, 92.4% of the stocks in the S&P 500 are trading above their 50-DMA while 77.4% are overbought (1+ standard deviation above 50-DMA).<\/p>\n

A commenter on Bespoke’s site replies:<\/p>\n

OB [over-bought] conditions can remain for an extended period of time. It is important to note this condition but itself is not sufficient to be a trigger for going Short.<\/p>\n

One challenge with technicals is that while some would agree with Bespoke’s take of the data above, some could also see the above data as a sign of substantial momentum. At the very least, the technicals remind us of just how quickly and broadly the S&P 500 has snapped up since early February.<\/p>\n
