Yesterday saw the adline/decline line have it third lowest day of the year.

The QPI10 Day Moving Average of Breadth (10DMA) is no longer  invested  and moved to cash on May 8th close. For a move to cash from buy, the 10DMA needed to have two days in row below -200. For now, the best offense is a good defense.
