More About Participation - Note how the S&P emini futures made a fresh price high around 13:20 (top chart), but the difference between advancing and declining stocks (bottom chart) did not confirm. Quite a few S&P 500 sectors also didn't make new highs at that time, including financial stocks (XLF); energy issues (XLE); materials shares (XLB); and consumer discretionaries (XLY). It's a nice illustration of how declining participation often leads short-term market reversals.
