Bullish sentiment was reported at 39.13% versus last week's level of 45.06%. Most of the bullish investors turned bearish causing the bull/bear spread to turn negative. This week's bull/bear spread equals -3% versus last week's spread of +7%.

It could be the strong move in the market since March 9th is causing investors to take a little money off of the table.
