This broad market measure, long conspicuously lagging the NYSE's cumulative advance-decline line, likewise quite considerably lags the Dow's advance off mid-November 2012 bottom. $NYA's 4th wave of 5 waves up from mid-November has been in progress for over two months now, while evidence of typical 4th wave versus 2nd wave technical deterioration has been long in place, as noted here before. $NYA's lag, then, objectively confirms love, although widespread, is not running wild.
A rising tide might lift all boats, yet disparities that have been persisted off March '09 bottom remain firmly intact. Floundering ocean liners upon the sea furiously forestalled from their inevitable sinking no doubt are the rising tide's source and the market moves like everyone knows it. There positively is no more confidence now than three years ago that, smooth sailing for as far as the eye can see is increasingly likely. Although on the surface it does not seem all eyes are on the exit, yet if not on the heavens, then where else?
Elliott 4th wave versus 2nd wave technical deterioration is not yet in evidence per the NYSE Bullish Percent Index. So, completion of the NYSE Composite's 4th wave of 5 waves up from mid-November probably awaits another pullback. As you can see, the NYSE Composite's 4th wave so far has unfolded with an upward bias. At this point we might better expect this will continue.
