The S&P 500 is near all-time highs, but only a quarter of its stocks are above their 50-day average. What does that mean?

The S&P 500 is near all-time highs once again. On Tuesday, the most-watched index hit 7,844, surpassing the previous all-time high set on August 13, less than two months ago.

Nasdaq 100 rebound looks strong… or is it just a trap?
