decliners outpacing advancers as the markets make a new (short-term) high today, especially with the Q’s up over 1%, helps to indicate that the recent rally might be running out of steam.  also note how the small caps, financials and reits are lagging today, another non-confirmation of today’s new highs in the SPX and QQQ.
