Summary – Looking bullish

The breadth charts remain the same as yesterday with a +12 score.  The 40 DMA % index is still lagging and waiting to confirm that we are in an up move.  Thursday’s price action was very strong and gave us the first day of a thrust from the bottom.   We would like to have...

10 Day highs minus lows – +6 perfect score

The 10 day high minus lows began putting in positive values yesterday (the market is now making more 10 day highs than lows).   The momentum continues to the upside so the game now is to begin to look for weakness.

40 DMA % index – Still waiting to confirm

The 40 DPI is still shy of crossing its 20 DMA which we use as a confirmation of a buy or sell trend that has developed.  The chart scores neutral with higher index values but still below the trigger line.

52 week new highs stays bullish…

52 Week new highs put in stronger days on all three indexes maintaining a long call for the market. For Friday the NYSE needs to put in more than 25 new highs.  At the 10:30 hour we should be around 13 or greater if we are to keep on the bulls side.

The first round was a bust as the markets returned to lower lows.  Wednesday’s market action has set us up now for round two of the Zweig thrust watch.  Just as a reminder a Zweig thrust is a move from oversold to overbought (bottom line to top line) in a 10 day trading period....

52 Week new highs turn bullish – $NYSE

NYSE put in 22 new 52 week highs at the close on Wednesday.  That is 4 more than Tuesday but a far cry from the over 300 we were putting in at the front end of the month, but strength grows from weakness and this and the 10 day high minus low are the...

40 DMA % Index turns from bearish to neutral.. $spy

This is the chart I most wanted to see after the markets had that massive selloff into the close. The 10 day highs minus lows and 52 week new highs will both put in bullish numbers since they are basically high-of –the-day type indicators.  The 40 DIP index, however, is an end-of-the-day indicator and...
