Strong bulls vs strong bears measure short-term strength. See next section for latest and last 5 day number of bullish vs bearish stocks in detail.

If you currently own stocks, you'll love to see a rising bullish trend. If you see rising bears and shrinking bulls, beware of a trend change.

How is the China Market Doing Today?

Below is the latest daily change in the CSI 300. We quantify the latest percentage change as strong, normal, or lazy based on past stats since 2004.

The 1-day percentage change is a single moment in the market. However, relying solely on this number can be misleading. A sharp rise or drop may signal momentum, but it doesn’t always indicate a lasting trend.

Combine this data point with the above current market strength, which is for the short to medium term. A 1-day move shows short-term excitement or panic. But market strength confirms if that move fits a bigger trend.

Are we in a Bull or Bear Market in China?

How to define & quantify bullish vs bearish market?

Bullish (↗) means you expect a stock's price to rise. Bearish (↘) means you expect a stock's price to fall. Market analysts define a bull or bear market as a 20% change from recent peak or bottom. Technical analysis experts often define a bull or bear market as above or below the 200-day moving average line.

Let's look at the CSI 300 daily chart for the China market. The chart above shows 2 different ways to quantify the market. The bullish and bearish periods on the charts are roughly the same.

For the percent change method (zig-zag line), the bull market line continues despite market swings. This means none of the interim downtrend is >20%. Hindsight is perfect vision, and the zig-zag line is drawn to perfection. Expect a lag in real life before you realize a bear market has arrived.

For the 200-day moving average method, a look-back window of 200 trading days is used. This is about 10 months of data (around 20 trading days in a month).
