Hi Jim,

Agree. Another way I use to say the same thing, i.e., I believe we will see a rally sometime soon (whatever that means) is through linear regression.

On DJ-30, I use a 5-year linear regression, and corresponding channel. The DOW touched the bottom of this channel (and then rallied) in: 7/96, 4/97, and 9/99. Of particular note was the unforgettable 8/98 to 10/98 correction. At this point, the Dow ended up about 13% BELOW the bottom of the channel, but rallied strongly thereafter.

At its present closing price, the Dow is 5% below the bottom of the channel, if my arithmetic is right. The formation though indicates a short-term oversold and a possible valley forming.

JMH (and amateur) opinion, of course.
