- We feel the S&P 500 data gives the broader view of the market, with the best measure of the U.S. economy due to the diversity of sectors represented in it.
- NASDAQ usually leads both the up and down market trends.
- Its estimated that 70% of trades are done by High Frequency platforms. Total volume of the NYSE consists of about 28% of the total market volume with around 85% of the NYSE being institutional volume. The NYSE still has the largest institutional investor up/down volumes and should provide a hint at the big institutions buying and selling. (volume accumulation/distribution)
