With many market commentators becoming increasing bullish as the market continues its move higher, trading expert Richard Rhodes cautions, "The tectonic plates beneath the market are shaking."
Th editor of The Rhodes Report explains, "Each day, we watch the current rally powering higher; and, each day we find our indicators becoming more and more overbought. While we are concerned about the overbought conditions, we are most concerned by the 'mini-mania' that has gripped stocks and the fact that this sharp rally is as narrow a rally as we have seen in many years."
He notes that the percentage of stocks above their 10-day and 200-day moving averages are now less than what they were at the February peak. He explains, "When the broader market rallies – then we want all the generals and troops moving together on a united front – and clearly this isn't the case.
And while noting that this is "worrisome," he also recognizes that it is foolhardy to attempt and call a short term top. He says, "We continue to believe that from a fundamental perspective that the probability of a bear market is higher than many anticipate at this time – however, the technicals don't yet support this." He quips, "It will end when it ends and not a day sooner."
