What you've described is something out of the Ivy League fundamental understanding of economics and has little to do with how prices move based on direct stimulative technical forces. When it comes to equities, there is only one source of fuel as there would be with a single pipeline. This single pipe line is a cumulative total of various bypasses and tributaries that are fed into this pipeline as it travels like a river through the financial system. Because of this, stimulative effects, such as those you've described, take quite a bit of time to be "refined" before this fuel quotient is able to be put to work. It is not immediate. The total availability and combustion rate of this same energy that drives the directional engine of stock prices is what the advance/decline line provides.The correct analogy is that their is 1 fuel source[liquidity] and 10 cars [ all markets, retail, etc].
No...what you had was the NYUD data moving in lock step with the higher weighted high cap stocks that drive the better known indices (those they are the last to join the party in either direction), while the broader market had already bottomed (with the help of Y2K). This allowed enough buoyancy where the amplitude difference between the SPX, SML and MID price structures was remarkable during the 2002-2007 period (and why the small and mid caps were able to move to new all time highs first after the 2002-2003 lows).we had price diverging with internals in 02
