Today the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index ETF (MDY) 50-day EMA crossed down through the 200-day EMA, generating an IT Trend Model SELL Signal. It managed a positive close today, but we can see that participation still remains below our bullish 50% threshold...
You may not know it, but all of the Magnificent Seven stocks are in bear markets. Given they are such an integral part of the major indexes, we have to believe that the market will follow suit and continue lower in its own bear market...

Both the SPY and "Diamonds in the Rough" finished lower on the week, but at least "Diamonds in the Rough" didn't lose as much ground as the SPY. I'm still thoroughly unimpressed by results these past weeks...
One of the indicators that Carl Swenlin developed is the Silver Cross Index. It is one of the best participation indicators out there! Here's how it works: We consider a positive 20/50-day EMA crossover a "Silver Cross". If a stock has a Silver Cross it has a bullish bias...
