update


Here are daily charts of my three favorite trend indicators.

Earlier this week both the Dow and the S&P closed below their 50 day moving averages. This turned my intermediate term trend indicator downward via the 2 out of 3 rule. But as you can see both averages quickly recovered and are now all three indicators are once again above their 50 day moving averages.

The drop to the April 11 low in the S&P was not as long as the drop into the February 5, 2014 low but it was just about the same size as the drops into the October 9 and August 28 lows in 2013. Since both averages have recovered more than half their drops into the April 11 low and are above the 50 day moving averages I conclude that the corrective phase is complete and that both averages are now headed for new bull market highs.

If the rally from the April 11 low matches the size of the rally from the February 5 low in the S&P that average should reach the 1970 level over the next couple of months.

Carl. thanks for all your updates. You have not commented recently on the 3 peaks and doomed house formation. Is this possible formation now invalid? or is there an alternative count? Thanks again for your thoughts. Take care, michael
