Chart of the Day
Today’s chart of the day was shared in a research note from Frank Cappelleri of Instinet (@FrankCappelleri). It's a line chart of the S&P 500 index in red, and the number of stocks within it that are hitting new highs in blue. In the note, Frank points out that the number of new highs in the S&P 500 reached 72 yesterday. This marks the highest number of new highs for the index since January 2018. The fact that this breadth metric hit a high while price has not, is what Frank calls an “internal POSITIVE divergence.” He adds that we should keep an eye out for continued expansion in the number of new highs as an indication of where the S&P 500 is headed.
