Nasdaq's sees the most panic-like selling in nearly 2 years

The Nasdaq Composite's 2.7% tumble Monday, amid broad selling in the technology sector and uncertainty surrounding trade policy, came with the most panic-like selling in nearly two years. The Nasdaq's Arms Index, a volume-weighted breadth measure that tends to rise above 1.000 when the market falls, spiked up to 2.238, while readings above 2.000 are viewed as having panic-like characteristics. The number of declining stocks outnumbered advancers 2,359 to 623, a 3.8-to-1 ratio, while volume of declining stocks outnumbered up volume 580.70 million shares to 67.20 million shares, about an 8.6-to-1 ratio. Monday's close was the highest since it closed at 2.32 on June 27, 2016 when the Nasdaq Composite plummeted 2.4% in the aftermath of the U.K.'s shock Brexit vote. After that, however, the Nasdaq kicked off a 5.8% surge over a four-session win streak, and rocketed 14% over the next two months.

A measure of stock-market panic is at its highest in 8 weeks as Wall Street's downturn gathers

A selloff in Monday afternoon trade reached levels not seen since early February by one measure. The Arms index is was at its highest since on the NYSE briefly hitting above 2.6, approaching its highest level since Feb. 5, when the markets saw another sharp descent, according to FactSet data. The Arms index is a volume-weighted measure of market breadth, that tends to rise when the broader market falls, as the intensity of the selling in declining stocks is usually greater than the intensity of buying in rising stocks, was at 2.621 on the NYSE. It last traded at 2.516. Levels above 2.000 are considered panicky. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended off its lows, but still booked a loss of about 460 points, or 1.9%, at 23,644 in Monday afternoon trade. The S&P 500 index ended off 2.2% at 2,581, below its 200-day moving average, while the Nasdaq Composite Index turned negative for the year and for the session, off 3.2% at 6,836. The number of advancing stocks on the NYSE outnumbered decliners 2,378 to 567, or by around a 4.2-to-1 margin.
