Few SPX Highs Signal Lag, Not
The number of $SPX stocks making new 52-week highs remains low. The last time we had more than 60 in a single day was 3/2/26. So, is it a problem that fewer stocks are making new highs while the index pushes...

SPX Overbought, Trend Likely to Flatten Soon
$SPX just hit overbought for the first time since September and remains in a steep uptrend. This mirrors last spring: after first tagging the RSI’s 70 threshold, momentum cooled, but the trend held and simply flattened. The next phase now...

S&P 500 Stalls, Over

SPX Repeats Rare Back-to-Back 1% Rally After Lows
