WHY DOES A BICYCLE ALWAYS FALL DOWN?

Because it is two-tired !!
That's the way the market seem these lazy days of summer - August.
Last week the NYSE New Highs to Lows went negative, following the week before's Nasdaq lead. Advance/decline stocks also went negative.
Stocks on a BUY signal are barely positive (54), while its twin, the Delta MACD is at 51.
 With no signs of a Recession or Inflation, hopefully it's just setting up for a correction or reaccumulation for another winter rally.
