These indicators measure the percentage of stocks that are a certain distance below their 40DMAs. The bigger the number, the worse off the stock market is. T2114 measures the distance by one channel &#8211; think of it as a Bollinger Band channel or approximately one standard deviation. T2116 is two standard deviations. The charts below suggest there is increasing stress under the hood of an otherwise serene market. A quiet breakdown is indeed underway. The upshot is that a fresh BUYING opportunity will likely accompany these indices on a retest of former highs. In other words, whatever extended sell-off awaits around the corner will likely be shallow and brief (don&#8217;t blink?).<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38445\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38445\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/170308_T2114.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/170308_T2114.png\" alt=\"T2114, the percentage of stocks trading &quot;one standard deviation&quot; below  their respective 40DMAs, returned to pre-elections levels and confirmed increasing stress among stocks.\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/170308_T2114.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/170308_T2114-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">T2114, the percentage of stocks trading &#8220;one standard deviation&#8221; below  their respective 40DMAs, returned to pre-elections levels and confirmed increasing stress among stocks.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_38446\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38446\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/170308_T2116.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/170308_T2116.png\" alt=\"Like T2114, T2116, the percentage of stocks trading TWO &quot;standard deviations&quot; below their respective 40DMAs, fell to pre-election levels and confirmed growing stress under the relative calm of the market.\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/170308_T2116.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/170308_T2116-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Like T2114, T2116, the percentage of stocks trading TWO &#8220;standard deviations&#8221; below their respective 40DMAs, fell to pre-election levels and confirmed growing stress under the relative calm of the market.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>The new high \/ new low ratio (T2117) also helps display the sudden change in market momentum.
