Technical Assessment: Bullish in the Intermediate-Term
The S&P 500 is within 2% of its all-time high and is up 12% for the year. How broad is the move upward? How much support is behind the index? To get a sense of the durability of the trend, we look at the High-Low Index, which is the number and ratio of stocks trading at 52-week highs and lows. The more stocks trading at 52-week highs, the stronger the rally. The High-Low Index has been weak most of the year, but has been improving in recent weeks.
