Around mid-year 2021, more than 90% of the stocks in the index were trading above their 200-day moving averages (dma). There has been a significant reversal of fortune since then with only 11.3% of the S&P 500 stock prices above their 200-dmas on Friday.(2) The S&P 500 traded 10%-15% above its 200-dma most of last year. On Friday, it was 16.9% below its 200-dma.
