Lower Volume Selloff Hits Stocks As NYSE Volume Is Still Below Average; DRYS, EXM, and DSX All Put In Nasty Intraday Reversals

I am not going to write a long commentary tonight as I really don’t see anything too important out there that I need to spend too much time focusing on. The biggest event was the late day selloff in the stock market.

Extremely Quiet Day Of Trading And A Big South Swell Equals Not Much To Talk About

The market did not do much of anything today as we all bide time ahead of the release of Q1 GDP and the FOMC interest rate decision. About the only market moving news today was the talk of V and MA earnings. Both of those stocks produced excellent action today in their respective security, with MA now giving me a 450% return in a little under two years.

Strong Gains Come On Heavier Volume; Volume Still Below The 50 Day Volume Average (Institutions Were Not Buying On Tuesday)

Today was a very strong day for all the market indexes, as laggard stocks led the market higher on higher volume. However, that higher volume was below the 50 day volume average on the NYSE and the Nasdaq. Not only that, the IBD 100 and IBD 85-85 index, which is loaded with leading stocks that historically outperform the market by a 2.5x margin during uptrends, were up 3% and 2.7% respectively.
