Weekly Market Commentary: Pushes Higher

In support, the NYSE Summation Index looks to have flinched and jumped early. A stochastic 'buy' is undermined by the lack of the oversold condition in the index itself.

The only S&P breadth indicator to confirm a bottom (so far) is the S&P Percent of Stocks Above the 50-d MA. It has jumped from a low of 5.4% to 66.0% in a number of weeks.

The Nasdaq has pulled further away from its head-and-shoulder reversal neckline but it hasn't yet reached an oversold condition.

The Percentage of Nasdaq stocks above the 50-day MA matched its S&P cousin with a confirmed 'buy' signal.
