Additionally, there was another bullish signal based upon Dow Theory i.e. both Dow Industrial and Dow Transport closed at new high since Mar’09 bottom.

  • Where are we heading?

    It was a poor day for US Stock markets. The down volume was 92% and it was soon after a 90% up day on Friday. When this happens, “usually” it is not a good sign. There are tons of technical indicators and each of those has rationale expectations. What I am sharing is “experience”, and…
