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. There were 369 new yearly highs in my universe of 4,000 stocks. Tuesday was the 43rd day in the current QQQQ up-trend and the 10th week that it has closed above its 10 week average.

Monday was the 41st day in the current QQQQ up-trend. 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.
