It’s not the most fascinating topic, but it’s definitely important to know of this relationship, so let’s take a look at a couple of recent charts.

Yet again, we’re seeing a situation where we have a multi-day decline in the three-key market internals when compared with the price of the S&P 500 or SPY ETF.

That sets up a major non-confirmation and increases that odds that we’ll see a price reversal/retracement to test lower levels, barring any unforeseen bullish news here.Yet again, we’re seeing a situation where we have a multi-day decline in the three-key market internals when compared with the price of the S&P 500 or SPY ETF.
