SOME HISTORY ... Chart 3 shows the % of NYSE stocks above their 200-line since 2002. Drops below 20% have happened only four times since 2000 (red circles). The previous three upturns from those levels marked the end of two bear markets (early 2003 and 2009) and a correction in late 2011. Subsequent moves back above the 50% level (green line) helped to confirm a market upturn. This low a reading in the red line has usually signaled the end of a market downturn, not the start of one.
mind the lower low.. 2008

Regardless of where we close today, DIA and $INDU printed an “outside day” and so did SPY and $SPX and so did IWM and $RUT (so did $COMPQ but not $NDX)
If we close red they will be called “bearish outside day”
Close green = “bullish outside day”

Need to understand the implication of difference between the VWAP and actual trade price of SPY. Yesterday Daniel commented about the VWAP of SPY. I read the definition, but still don't understand what it implies. The VWAP on Cobra's 5-minute chart on SPY is around 199.70, while SPY is trading at 197.75. What does this mean? Thanks.

NYSE up/dn volume hitting most bearish level of the day.

fwiw...
VWAP gives the typical price of a stock (so far in the trading day), based on price moves and volume. It’s an intra-day indicator, starting with the first period (based on chart time frame chosen) of the day, and ending with the last. VWAP doesn’t provide trade signals like many other indicators; it’s an analysis and benchmarking tool. As the day progresses the VWAP begins to lag more and more. Therefore, retail traders find it more beneficial early in the trading session, and institutional traders find it more beneficial toward the close.
