I hear what you are saying and agree with your regards the TICK. However, I think extreme levels like that are important to watch intraday. I was short from 51 and when I saw the TICK that low, it raised my sense of awareness to bounce is very possible. It was another indication that it was time to have a very watchful eye on what was going on.

Then the higher highs, higher lows on the SPU, NDX.....the beta stalling its decline, etc etc....told me it was time to exit.

But it was the extreme TICK reading that got me really looking for the distinct possibility that the run was over.

What it means for today, beats me, but yesterday it helped to get me out and preserve a profit....

I think that scott's comments on this are very insightful. I think a very oversold tick should heighten awareness that a bounce could be nearby.. Then if momentum indicators and other indicators are signaling a change in trend, an inflection point should be coming...

I have seen people who use the tick coupled with a 34 unit ma on 5 minute trin to give buy and sell signals. Just a thought.
