During the last week, the price has advanced above the 50 Day Moving Average. Daily MACD line has moved above its signal line. Both crossovers are considered as bullish signals. Daily Lane's Stochastic is overbought while Williams' Percentage Range is strongly overbought. If scenario #1 is in play, a short-term downtrend from January 14, 2010 to February 5 is completed. It presents a first sub wave of the new medium-term downtrend. The second sub wave is in progress now. Considering the overbought daily technical indicators second sub wave should be near completion and a third sub wave down should start soon. If scenario #2 unfolds, a short-term downtrend from January 14, 2010 to February 5 is completed. It presents a forth sub wave of the medium-term uptrend (from March 9, 2009). The fifth sub wave is in progress now. The sub wave should bring Dow Jones above January high - 10767.15. The next week is critical to recognize witch scenario is in play. If after the short pause the rally continues, chances are high that scenario #2 unfolds. If we see next week a sharp decline - scenario #1 could be in progress. | ||
