Gottfried, following is the DW data for the close of Tuesday. According to DW all the leading indicators have reversed down. IMO, does not look good in the short term. Check oversold sectors: biogenetic at 19%, internet at 22, telecom at 24, soft at 24, semi at 28, comp at 35, and drugs at 35%. DW advised investors not to buy sectors over the 50% (mean). I always consider the upside gain verse the down risk to provide some safeguards. Just think of those buying drugs not to long ago at their highs. Just my opinions.
From Dorsey Wright, (www.dorseywright.com) "As you know, we have several short term market indicators -- the High-Low Indexes, the Percent of Stocks Above Their 10 Week MA, and the Option Stock Bullish Percent. Over the past few weeks we have seen deterioration in these short term indicators. Specifically, the NYSE High-Low Index and the OTC High-Low Index have both reversed down from lofty, overbought levels; as well, both the NYSE and OTC Percent of Stocks Above Their Ten Week Moving Averages are on sell signals. In addition, the Option Stock Bullish Percent reversed down into a column of O's last week, which was yet another negative for the market on a shorter term basis. This basically puts all of our short term market indicators on sell signals, suggesting a defensive slant at least in the short term. But the negative short term picture is starting to spill over to the longer term indicators, as evidenced by the OTC Bullish Percent. The BPOTC was on the verge of reversing down into a column of O's through Monday's ac tivity, coming in at 48.42%; a move to 48% is needed to do this. In looking at today's action, it looks as if there will be enough net new sell signals in the OTC market to cause this reversal down. This would further suggest a defensive posture with respect to the OTC, as we will have "lost possession of the football". This impending change in the OTC Bullish Percent, therefore, would leave only the NYSE Bullish Percent in a "offensive" condition with respect to our market indicators. As you know, it too remains overbought at fairly lofty levels. The NYSE BP has started to downtick after reaching a high of 68%. Its current reading, through Monday, was 65.4%, with a move to 62% needed to reverse it into O's, and to defense."
