Further, the MRI Oscillator is now +6, the highest it\u2019s been since it spiked in early August, 2019. That time it was driven almost entirely by our Divergence Index. This time again the Divergence Index has gone bearish but two other components also rose in their respective risk ranges.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signalpointinvest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Tom-Veale-Market-Risk-Report-11.18.2019.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"813\" height=\"430\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c26% cash is the median value of the MRI since 1982 so not so worrisome itself. The Oscillator suggests continuing risk pressure should things remain as they are. Helping to confirm the Divergence Index\u2019s position is a weakening of the market\u2019s breadth. Last week advancing and declining stocks about cancelled each other.
