Thank you for the Summation Index explanation and link.

<however, it is also likely that a significant market bottom is a few weeks or months away.>

So it can be a bit early, I see, as it rounded out and started to rise around 9/10/98 before the Senior averages hit the cellar in October.

I most recently took a renewed interest in it last Spring because I was reading Gene Inger at the time and he refers to it constantly. In the following link he makes a brief comment about what he thinks of it at this point in the game.

It's down near the bottom; excerpted, it says the following....

the McClellan Oscillator is now at a -54, interestingly working-off overbought conditions without much pressure (of significance) on the market. That can be bullish in time. (At the moment, a series of nominal negative changes is a daily basis warning a rally will soon fail.)
