Every night, we crank our computers up as they look at every stock trading $2 or higher on every exchange.

We get a count of the Very Strong Leadership stocks and a count of the Very Weak Stocks in the Broad Market. From this data, we subtract the number of Very Weak Stocks from the number of Leadership stocks.

The result shows if Leadership stocks are growing faster than the broad market (a rally condition), or if Leadership stocks are falling relative to the broad market (a negative condition). (In market corrections, the Strong to Weak number goes Negative indicating that Weak Stocks have outnumbered the number of Strong Stocks.)

On Friday, June 6th., the Very Strong Leadership stocks went Negative. (They were outnumbered by the number of Very Weak stocks.). Friday's negative down move on this ratio was a negative for the markets. (More extensive charts on this are found on our paid subscriber sites, including whether or not Institutions are in Distribution or Accumulation now. Institutions typically move to Distribution BEFORE the Very Strong Leaders move to a negative condition. - This chart and study will not be posted again for a month on this Free site.)
