Weak NYSE TICK

By on Tuesday, July 6th, 2010 at 2:22 pm

NYSE TICK action has been consistently negative since midday, with Cumulative TICK trending straight down since shortly after Noon ET and TICKscore already at -40. TICK recently hit an intraday low of -1,450, its lowest low in two weeks, which is noteworthy with the S&P hovering around unchanged levels. Historically, when the S&P closes higher on a day when the TICK records a 5-day low, there’s a tendency for the market to trade lower the following session. The last 30 occurrences are below…
