The GMI remains at 6, but the GMI-S fell 6, to 94. This decline reflects the weakness in one of the short term indicators for the QQQQ. Only 44% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks advanced on Tuesday, compared with 56% of the S&P 500 stocks and 50% of the Dow 30 stocks. 46% of the IBD 100 list from 10/16 advanced.

What was striking Monday was the stronger performance of the IBD 100 stocks, compared with the Nasdaq 100 stocks. 80%-90% of the stocks in four recent IBD 100 lists advanced, compared with only 54% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks. Three of the four IBD 100 lists had more new highs on Monday than the Nasdaq 100 stocks.
