How to read the S&P Market Movers Indicator?
When interpreting the chart above, you need to remember
that the most important factor is the relationship between Index
Price and the Volume Moving Average (VMA).
In this example, the index is in a downward trend just after 12:00.
The downward trend continues until the VMA has reached a peak and this sharp increase
in the VMA signals that a bottom has been
reached for the day and that professional investors are buying. Once the VMA has
peaked, that signals the safest point in which to make a trading
decision, as it is here that the index has confirmed a new upwards
trend.
