We have long been aware here that, whenever the Relative Strength Index (see top panel) of the NYSE Bullish Percent Index falls below 30, the market typically comes under pressure. We're probably but one negative trading day away from suffering a relatively extended period during which the market pulls back.
Nevertheless, at this point we're probably the wiser suspecting that, the market's advance off mid-November 2012 bottom still has some time and space yet to further develop. What precisely is the "right" Elliott wave count since that bottom unfortunately still remains unclear. Hopefully this will be resolved over coming days.
