IBD Industry Groups Bell Curve – Bullish Percent

Average Distribution: 60.62% (+5.80% 1wk)

• 24 Groups (12%) are in the Stage 4 zone
• 72 Groups (36%) are in the Stage 1 or Stage 3 zone
• 104 Groups (52%) are in the Stage 2 zone

The IBD Industry Groups Bell Curve continued to expand past the middle over the last week by a further +5.80%, ending the week at 60.62%. 

The amount of groups in Stage 4 decreased by -14 (-7%), and the amount of groups in Stage 2 increased by +23 (+11.5%), while the amount groups in Stage 1 or Stage 3 decreased by -9 (-4.5%).

The overall distribution of the bell curve has now moved into tentative Stage 2 territory with the further strengthening over the last week and close above the 60% level. So the trend of a decreasing amount of groups in Stage 4 and increasing amount of groups in Stage 2 continues, and it's the first time in more than a year that the distribution has been weighted towards the right of the bell curve, which indicates a more favourable environment for stocks currently. 

It is still a tentative change however, and so further improvements in the data would give more confidence in the potential Stage change.
