Kasha, all technical methods sometimes generate spurious signals caused by momentum and temporary news effects.

Not all breakouts are successful nor sustainable. Market was at a short-term top, all earnings forward guidance was out, fears of inflation rising. With current inflation at less than 4 percent and bonds edging up to 6 percent, who in their right mind would want to be in volatile cyclical tech stocks like semis? The cyclical growth would would be stalled again should the long-bond edge over 6 percent and hold for any length of time.

While the market whipsaws up and down and sectors rotate, I'd expect there to be spurious P&F buy/sell signals.
