One market breadth indicator suggests that we may still be in the early phases of a market decline.
We had been focused on the 5050 level for the S & P 500 as a key "line in the sand" for equities.
Looking back over the last two years, you'll notice the green-shaded areas in October 2022, March 2023, and October 2023 aligned well with major market bottoms.
Earlier this month, the S & P 500 bullish percent index again broke below the 70% level, indicating a major market top had likely occurred.
With the strength of the S & P 500 and Nasdaq 100 off the October 2023 market low, it can be tempting to treat all pullbacks as buying opportunities.
