Hi CHip, I think there are limits as to how much one wants to read into a Diamond, they are not that common.
the edwards and maGee book shows them on individual stocks and I don't believe they even have one on an market index.
Looking at the Weekly charts, I believe you have a valid point that we could call it still in an uptrend on the DJIA, SPX, NYSE, DJUA, wilshire 5000
I thought Helene Meisler sticking to her point that a Break of the NASD trendline from 1998 means that to her we could go back to NASD 2000.
Since so many use trendlines, they are made to be violated and create fake outs thats, why price momentum considerations are so important, and most seasoned market participants would be looking for quite a big counter trend rally before we got to a NASD 2000 number. The psychology is evolving away from that which prevailed in Q4 1999 and Q1 2000.
One final note, for those who are really watching the Top tier names in tech, those that are seen as being the top 25 growth names, they are acting stronger in the last few weeks.
I'm speaking in terms of the intraday way they decline and rally. |
