    ....this below the disconnect between what the S&P500 index tells us and what actual stocks really do.

    The first chart shows the percentage of S&P500 stocks trading above their 100-day moving averages (blue line) versus the S&P500 index (green line).

    At the S&P500 high in March, 85% of stocks traded above their 100-day moving average.

    Since then, the S&P500 has surged to a new high, yet the percentage of stocks trading above their 100-day moving average has declined to below 50%.

    More than half the stocks in the index are below their medium-term average price trends:
