* Overbought - We can see from the above chart that my Adjusted Cumulative Demand/Supply Index--a measure that compares the current Demand/Supply reading to its long-term moving average--is quite overbought. In my research, on average this has led to subnormal returns 20 days out. To be sure, a market can stay overbought for awhile; it's when we see the overbought readings also correspond to a period of rising 20-day new lows that stocks are most vulnerable to correction. So far, new 20-day highs have held up well (Friday showed 1630 new 20-day highs against 237 lows) and new lows have steadily contracted.
