I Know what rounding tops and bottoms are....!

Looking at the monthly INDU chart from 1970....,
THAT is NOT a rounded anything, but it is parabolic and gets the bears all excited.

Weekly is way to ragged....NO rounded anything, but maybe a rough "W"

Today's extended love affair with 10,000 appears to me closer to the 1970's era when the DOW took years forming a foundation and getting use to closing above 800. From 1973 to 1982 the market tried 3 times to close above 1,000..., the 4th time Nov 1982 it stayed there. [Don's probably still rolling over contracts].

The period from 1973 to 1982 is called a flat or bounded trading range.

Putting the DJIA market in a 30 year+ framework, todays price action is a reasonable corrective event and not even close to a bear. This dive to 8000 is like sitting at 800. The boys are just out warming up the keetle for a little tea and crumpets, when they get ready it'll move. It's about %-percentages not price.

Since 1975 check out the 4 year cycle low which is due in 2002.
