Overall, the
SPY
was trading below its 100-period SMA for a majority of the day, with the 5-minute chart well below the 100-period SMA - Breadth Ratio (NYSE:UVOL / DVOL ) was showing a ratio of greater than 2.0 which a sign to look for bearish/shorting opportunities on the day
- Net Advance/Decline Line ( ADVN.NY - DECL.NY ) was below its 21-period EMA showing bearish sentiment and was below 0 for the entire day, illustrating that bears were in control, although net declining issues never passed below the -1000 mark, which would indicate a very bearish sentiment.
Either way 07/19/2016 turned out to be a day where trades to the downside should have been preferred; although overall it wasn't a very strong bearish day.
- $JOY; -$STX were a few that I looked into.
