Once we focus on participation we’re referring to the extra particular and correct evaluation of breadth obtainable with the Golden Cross and Silver Cross Indexes. The venerable and extensively identified Golden Cross is when the 50-day shifting common of a value index crosses up via the 200-day shifting common, which alerts a shift from long-term bearishness to long-term bullishness for the value index. (Be aware: We use exponential shifting averages – EMAs.)
Taking this one step additional, now we have developed the Golden Cross Index, which is the share of shares in a given index which have a Golden Cross. The chart under exhibits the ETFs for the S&P 500 Giant-Cap, S&P 400 Mid-Cap, and S&P 600 Small-Cap Indexes with their respective Golden Cross Indexes (GCI). Whereas the GCIs are all properly above the bull market stage of fifty%, they’re properly under their bull market ranges in 2021 of above 90%, although their value indexes are at or close to new, all-time highs. Whereas they might proceed to enhance, we should take it as a adverse signal that long-term participation is so poor.
Being a long-term indicator, the slower, extra deliberate tempo of the GCI doesn’t apply properly to shorter time frames. To assist with this we developed the Silver Cross Index (SCI), which is the share of shares in a given index whose 20-day shifting common has crossed up via their 50-day shifting common (which we named the Silver Cross). The SCI exhibits the extent of participation within the intermediate-term.
Here’s a chart of the three S&P Indexes with their respective SCIs. We observe that each one the SCIs are within the mid to excessive eighties, which is close to the highest of their vary, and is the overbought stage for the final three years. As a normal rule SCIs don’t linger at these ranges, and we should always count on to see them flip down quickly. We will observe that costs do not all the time observe the SCIs down, however it’s dangerous to imagine in any other case.
Conclusion: Participation in the long run is weak, and it’s overbought within the intermediate time period. In our opinion the market is weak for a correction.
