Leading Stocks Outperform On A Dull Trading Day; NYSE Pulls Back On Lowest Volume Of The Year
It was yet another very low volume market session that really proved nothing today that we did not already know about this market. The one bright spot that occurred today that was noticeable to me by the action in the stocks that were showing up on my price/volume scans. The IBD 100 gained a very impressive 1.5% compared to the overall market which was slightly lower across the board. The IBD 100 also joined the rest of the market with A and B acc/dis ratings as it now sports a B- after today’s action.
However, the losses from the NYSE to the Nasdaq were all fine in my book as all the selling came with volume lower than the day before. What is even more bullish for stocks, for now, is that the low volume selloff was the lowest volume for the year on the NYSE. This low volume, with stocks pulling back, is just how you want to see stocks move. If you look at the Nasdaq, where it is most obvious, you can clearly see that the market is rising on higher volume and selling off on lower volume. This has been the case since March 4th and is starting to become visually quite obvious to me. That along with the actual ACC/DIS being an A- shows that this index and the stocks that make up this index are being accumulated.
