Indeed the final highs in October 2018 came on virtually flat new highs versus lows. Markets broke down shortly after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similar weakening patterns can be observed in the 2019 rallies before they produced short term corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com\/s3fs-public\/inline-images\/NDX50.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/NDX50.png?itok=AZiXomUq\"><\/a>Since October (thanks Fed) $NDX has embarked on its steepest and most narrow channel in many years. Last week\u2019s coronavirus scare landed $NDX on the support trend line, this week\u2019s coronavirus optimism rally has brought $NDX back to its upper channel trend line. Algo ping pong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be that as it may but note the dramatically lower expansion in new lows versus new lows on this latest rally versus the previous January rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What\u2019s driving it? Simple: Many components in $NDX are much weaker than record prices on the index indicate.<\/strong>&nbsp;And we can also see this in the number of components above their 50MA.
