Current Market Outlook As of April 3, 2015 Current Outlook: Uptrend under pressure 3 statuses: Confirmed uptrend, Uptrend under pressure, Market in correction Thursday 2-Apr-2015: Market up in lower volume Distribution Days: 9 on the S&P. 9 on the NASDAQ. This is a lot! Small caps have been doing a little better than large caps. Recently, the stock indexes have shown a discouraging trend of lightvolume on up days and rising volume on down days. It is a sign of funds selling into strength. It is also the sort of thing seen when a market is topping—but it is nothing new to this stock market. In the past couple of years, such action has led to only moderate pullbacks.
