Bad Can Be Good
Igor Manukhov - Oct 05, 2023
Sentiment is so negative that history suggests we could be due for a market rebound.
Recently, the market cannot catch the break. Very few stocks are doing well over the last month. In fact, based on a Bullish Percent Index (BPI, pink line), only 28% of all stocks in S&P500 are rising. This is quite a low reading. A BPI reading below 30% usually occurs near market bottoms and a reading over 70 appears near market tops. I have highlighted past occurrences in red.
I would not recommend selling at this level. If history is any indication, you would be better off buying.
