Despite all of the technical warnings about negative breadth, the S&amp;P 500 has been undergoing a ride along its upper Bollinger Band. While conventional technical analysis would view episodes of negative breadth divergences as bearish, there are good reasons for the bullish resilience of the S&amp;P 500.The top five sectors comprise about 75% of the weight of the index, and their relative performance determines the market’s direction. An analysis of the June relative performance of these sectors shows that three of the five — representing 43.4% of the index weight — are exhibiting positive relative strength. This is in turn putting upward pressure on the index.The stock market is also underlying an internal rotation between value and growth. Ed Clissold of Ned Davis Research wrote, “The back-and-forth leadership is the reason market breadth has been so resilient.”In the short run, count on more back-and-forth value and growth rotation that supports stock prices. History shows that the DJIA seasonal pattern in July is bullish. Enjoy.
