Specifically, the indicator is bullish when it is rising above its 10-EMA, and in a broader sense it is bullish when it is above the zero line. The IT Volume Momentum Oscillator (ITVM) is calculated the same as the ITBM except that it uses advancing and declining volume. The indicators are also used to measure overbought/oversold conditions." - StockCharts.com Summary - the intermediate-term Breadth Momentum Oscillator and the Volume Momentum Oscillator rest in the confirmed bearish region below the zero line for a marginal majority of the symbols shown below ( 14 of the 26 indicator values reside below the zero line ). More time is required to clarify which side of the zero line the majority of these symbols will remain in the future, and note that lower lows for the Oscillators are achievable before Oversold historic norms are reached. * since the two Oscillators reside below their 10-day ema for the nine S&P500 Spyders, the bears have firm near-term control of the intermediate breadth and volume trends until this changesS&P500 -14 / 33 OEX100 70 / 109 S&P Mid cap -83 / -36 S&P Small cap -94 / -95 XLK 32 / 65 XLF 47 / 154 XLV 41 / 53 XLY -43 / -33 XLI -46 / 8 XLE -195 / -243 XLP 62 / 137 XLB -65 / -95 XLU -46 / -38 * daily ITBM and ITVM for the S&P500 index are shown below: CONCLUSION - considering all the chart elements, it is far too early to reliably predict a V-bottom price outcome will develop from the September 25th intraday price low, since price is now only marginally back above the mid line for the daily 50,2 BB and the 65,2 BB.
