The market read
Broad-market conditions currently look defensive and weakening in the medium term. SPY remains above its 200-day average, but none of the three tracked indices are above their 50-day average, and the average 20-day change across indices is -3.0%, which suggests momentum is still falling despite a small +0.3% average 5-day change.
- All 3 tracked indices remain below their 50-day average, so short-to-intermediate trend confirmation is lacking.
- SPY is still above its 200-day average, but QQQ and IWM being below that level would keep breadth from looking healthy.
- Realized 20-day volatility averages 14% annualized, which is normal, so the main issue is trend deterioration rather than elevated volatility.
