Volume Analysis | Flash Market Update – 9.2.24

And Then There Were None Part IX

While the S&P 500 managed to eke out a slight gain for the week, with the NYSE AdvanceDecline Line reaching an all-time high, the flow of capital continued to trickle out of the market. Despite the S&P 500’s modest 0.24% rise, there was noticeable divergence among market segments. The troops, represented by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), slipped by -0.14%, while the generals, tracked by the NDX 100, dropped -0.74%.

Interestingly, the broadening theme persisted, with the brass commanders leading the charge. The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) outperformed, climbing 0.90%, and the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) showed even stronger leadership, advancing by 1.21%.

However, beneath the surface, signs of outflows became apparent. Despite the S&P 500’s advance and the record highs in the Advance-Decline Line, both Capital Weighted Volume and Dollar Volume reflected net outflows. Specifically, while $10.8 billion flowed into S&P 500 members, a larger $13.7 billion exited. IWM remains confined within its August 2nd weekly range, with support at 207 and resistance at 229. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is inching closer to resistance at 5655, with key support resting at 5550.

Grace and peace my friends,
