Cumulative TICK Powering Higher as Institutions Remain Buyers

By on Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 at 3:27 pm

Following through from Monday’s two-month TICKscore high, we’re seeing more bullish institutional participation Tuesday. NYSE TICK action is very strong, with TICKscore currently at +33 and Cumulative TICK closing in on the +100,000 level. Looks like we’ll see a two-month high for Cumulative TICK (any close above +87,000), which will have bullish implications for the intermediate-term. Historically, when Cumulative TICK hits a two-month high, the S&P has a strong track record of continuing to push higher over the next two weeks. The last thirty occurrences are listed in the table below…
