Also presently trading in the vicinity of near-term resistance is the broad-based NYSE Composite Index...
And still — yet as ever since March '09 bottom — the underlying substance of buying supporting the Composite Index's advance presents a mystery...
If the majority of NYSE-listed issues on balance are rising in a fashion suggesting a great deal of long interest, then why is the Composite Index lagging so badly?
ANSWER: the majority of NYSE-listed issues are being distributed to suckers ... and gains thus far registered are the best these weak hands can deliver. Same as it ever was since March '09 bottom.
Yet over the past six months in particular, long side interest, no less pervasive by any means, appears to have all the financial power (and likely mindset, too) of a six-year-old in a candy store. Their purchases just are not moving the register. All the more they appear only to be eating dead equity ... willingly, of course, as suckers would.
So, all the more, still, is so-called "near-term resistance" appearing formidable, pure and simple.
