As you may know, the trading volume has been extremely light over the past three months. Today, the trading volume is slightly heavier than normal. The highly popular SPDR S&P 500 Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) is trading around 150 million shares as of 3:29 pm EST. The three month average volume on the SPY is around the 154 million share level.
The Powershares QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) has staged an amazing move since December 19, 2011 when it traded as low as $54.17 a share. This afternoon, the QQQ is finally tagging the important 20 moving average on the daily chart. It is important to note that the last time the 20 moving average was tested was on December 30, 2011. This tells you that this market is long overdue for some type of pullback.
Some leading stocks that are coming under selling pressure this afternoon include China Life Insurance (NYSE:LFC), WPP plc (NASDAQ:WPPGY), Lululemon Athletica Inc (NASDAQ:LULU), and Steven Madden Ltd (NASDAQ:SHOO). When the market leaders start to decline it is always a little bit of a warning signal. As of this time, the market sell off could simply be profit taking.
