Another high bearish reading this week, as the bears picked up 1
point to end at 51%. The bulls also picked up ground, going from a
very low 19% up to 25%. The neutral camp gave up ground, dropping 6
points to end at 25%.
Last week was a positive one for the stock market, but the market
spent a large portion of the week going down. It did not start
rallying until it reached a dramatic low on Thursday morning. Given
this late week turnaround, the slight rise in bears is not
surprising. However, that 51% reading IS very high, and should be
encouraging for the bulls.
The more participation we get in this survey, the better this
sentiment data is, so please stop by and tell us what you think the
market is going to do: lowrisk.com
