With the heavy end to the week I though it would be useful to look at the effective volume charts from effectivevolume.com to see if the institutions (large players) were more negative or postive that the small players.

I think it's clear that there has been a shift over the last week with more large player selling in the QQQ and SPY - which has taken the total effective volume flow below its 20 day MA in the QQQ and SPY, but IWM small caps is still holding up. So QQQ and SPY have turned negative and the IWM is around neutral currently.

Gold v gold miners

Breadth just strengthened, at least according to my charts.  The medium term strength has increased recently.  THe long term breadth was as about as weak as could be but has just started to turn up.  Whether this is a short term blip of a rise back up I would not know.

The NYSE Bullish Percent Index $BPNYA reversed to a column of Os in the middle zone yesterday, and so suggests a defensive strategy with regards to NYSE stocks once more.

Semiconductors

The semiconductor sector has popped up repeatedly over the last year.  My breadth chart is based on a sample of stocks in this area.
 
   

Points to note:
  1. The index has continued to rise from the crash of last year, the rate of increase has slowed
  since the beginning of 2021, but is still rising.

  2. The advance/decline line topped out January / February time, has touched that high again in
  early June but currently is falling slightly whilst the index is still rising.  The advancing/declining
  volume has been on a steady rise and does not have this divergence.

  3.  There is a small number, compared to end of 2020/beginning of 2021 of new highs minus new
  lows.  It does not appear to have gone negative at all (at least from eyeballing the chart).

  4.  The Weinstein Momentum is above its zero, but is in a long term decline.

  5a. The McClellan Oscillator and Summation Index are around zero.

  5b.  Same observation for the volume version of these indicators.

  6. The % stocks above the 50 day EMA is around 50%.  The % stocks above the 200 day EMA is
  just over 70%, but since the beginning of the year the % stocks over their 200% EMA has been declining.

Those that follow my weekend market breadth charts and videos will know that I use the Percentage of Stocks Above Their 50, 150 & 200 Day MA chart for market timing & risk strategy.

I've managed to get the data into a custom chart in my stockcharts and so I can now view it as a P&F chart as well, and hence it can be used in the same way as the Bullish Percent Index with statuses and in terms of Column of Xs means playing an Offensive strategy and a Column of Os means playing Defensive strategy
