Nasdaq McClellan Oscillator Bearish Divergence

Although there are a tonne of overbought conditions in various breadth indicators the Nasdaq McClellan Oscillator as added its voice with a bearish divergence kicked off from the middle of March.


A bearish cross of the zero line in the Oscillator will coincide with a closing break of the reaction lows trendline (currently just over 1,700); good place for a trailing stop?

I have the NYSE for comparison

Buying in the Nasdaq and S&P delivered important 'bear traps' which in part, probably fueled today's gap highers in these indices. There is still alot of work for bulls to do, not least drive breaks of downward channels - not to mention, clear the first of the key moving averages in the 20-day. But it does give indices some respite from the grinding selling of the last couple of months.  The buying in the Nasdaq didn't register as accumulation, but there is a slow improvement in the technical picture with an upcoming 'buy' in the MACD.
