Technically Weak Market
What Is a Technically Weak Market?
A technically weak market mirrors the fragile signals or negative data points from money flow or technical analysis that add to the overall fragility of the market. Common indicators that can show whether a technically weak market exists include seeing advance/decline line (A/D), Arms Index (TRIN), and moving averages.
Typically, technically weak markets are considered to be bearish markets, in which the market shows declining trading volume and prices.
How Technically Weak Markets Work
For example, a market in which increasing average trading volumes accompany decreasing average prices, denoting negative money flow, can be considered a technically weak market. In technically weak markets, bearish activity in the market in which prices keep on declining can be expected to proceed.
Along these lines, while decreasing average trading volumes happen with increasing average prices, there is an indication that buying conviction is fading. In contrast, higher prices with higher trading volume signal a bullish, strong market.
The advance/decline line is a popular instrument for gauging overall market internals. On the off chance that the A/D line is negatively sloped and the market is trending downward, the market is said to be technically weak. A related measure of market breadth, which shows the degree of participation of stocks in market rises, is the Arms Index. Based on the way that the Arms Index is calculated, a value of greater than 1.0 is indicative of flagging market activity.
With regards to visual indicators for detecting technically weak markets, the average investor can also take a gander at moving average lines, whether of the 50-, 100-, or 200-day varieties. The average investor can see where a current market line is relative to the moving average lines. At a glance, a market that is trading below these lines is considered to be in a weak technical state.
Technical analysts try to profit from trends in the prices of securities. They accept that historical pricing trends tend to repeat themselves, and by utilizing price charts to identify these trends they can determine the best times to buy or sell to make a profit. At the point when they spot a technically weak market for a security, a basket of securities, or a broad index, they can express their bearishness in short positions.
Something contrary to a technically weak market is a technically strong market, which views at similar indicators as the ones discussed like advance/decline lines, the Arms Index, and moving averages.
