Lowry's has a study of panic selling climaxes, they use a 90% downside day(s) followed by 90% upside days as a selling climax and reversal (90% points lost + 90% downside volume is a selling climax and vice versa for the reversal day)

Although we did not have such a downside day where everybody said get me out, we have had a merciless 6 weeks of selling in the cyclicals and other "value issues".

This week we definitely had a 90% upside day.


A list of 90% Upside Days that were not preceded by 90% Downside Days since 1970 ("most of which", in Lowry's words, "had very bullish implications"):

5/11/90, 8/2/84 and 8/3/84, 7/20/83, 10/6/82, 8/20/82, 8/17/82, 8/2/78, 11/26 and 11/29 of 1971, and 11/3/70.
