The Dow is now down 500 points, but stock selling is far from a panic level
The Arms Index, a volume-weighted breadth measure, for the NYSE and Nasdaq are showing increased selling pressure in the broader stock market, but it's still nowhere near panic-like activity. The Arms tends to rise above 1.000 as stocks fall, as the ratio of advancing/declining volume tends to fall more than the ratio of advancing/declining stocks. In afternoon trade Tuesday, the NYSE Arms rose to 1.532 from 1.34 on Monday and the Nasdaq Arms increased to 1.201 from 1.19.
