bitte auf die überschrift klicken um die 4 anderen wissenswerten dinge zu erfahren The S&P 500 is now at its highest since 2000. Ow! Someone just fired a champagne cork at us.

Anyway, below we take a look at the S&P 500 with the S&P 500 Bullish Percent chart overlaid behind it.

• The decline in February occurred shortly after the bullish percent index reached 80%, a very high-risk level.


• What is important here, however, is that the S&P 500 is now breaking above the February high, while the S&P 500 Bullish Percent is well below February levels.


• This is a negative divergence.


• In a nutshell, it means that fewer S&P 500 stocks are accounting for this move higher and participating in the bullish party.


• Fewer participants means a more vulnerable index.
