Here is a Stochastics chart of the S&P 500 with the number of its stocks moving above the 50, 150, & 200 day simple moving average.

Here is another Stochastics view of the S&P 500 with the Financial, Technology, and Energy Sectors. I'm impressed with Technology :)

Some side-notes: During the last 9 March climb, Energy crossed above 20 first but 80 last. Technology crossed above 20 last (same time as $SPX) but crossed above 80 first. This may mean there might be some sort of Lag time that can be capitalized on? I don't have software to backtest this sort of thing, if anyone does then feel free to let us know if you find anything.

Copper is king of the mountain. Gold & Silver are oversold and may get embedded soon. Who knows, these two may break to the upside when this market drops. I want to be a buyer if the price and opportunity are right.

Yeah, my platinum is doing well as is my DBB because of it's copper holdings, but my SLV and GDX are dragging my whole account down. I don't know how much more patience I can muster waiting for the upturn.
