Market Summary
A tool to help confirm the overall market trend is the
Bullish Percent Index (BPI). The Bullish Index is a popular market “breadth”
indicator used to gauge the internal strength/weakness of the market. Essentially it is the percentage of stocks that have buy signals. If
the market is strong and moving up, the BPI should also be moving higher as
more and more stocks are purchased. Nasdaq stocks are leading the market higher
as quarterly earning numbers have enticed investors. Strength in technology and
small cap stocks are primarily propping up the market. As long as the BPCOMPQ
remains in an uptrend expect the overall stock market to remain near all-time
highs.
