The chart above tracks the number of NYSE, NASDAQ, and ASE stocks making fresh 20-day highs minus the number making new 20-day lows (red line).
Note that new highs peaked in late July in what appears to be a momentum high. At the recent price highs (SPY; blue line), we are seeing fewer stocks participating in the new highs. If this candidate transition pattern holds, we should eventually take out the August lows in SPY.
