With the NAZ/NDX down slightly, theres a hint that the CLASS 1 SELL signals may work. I got a PM asking that since the NAZ/NDX rallied into the close and closed closer to the intraday highs, could these CLASS 1 SELL signals be negated. I often get these inquiries about possible negated CLASS 1 signals, especially after significant moves. I have been following these signals since around 1997, about 4 year. I average about 3 CLASS SIGNALs per month, so in about a 4 year period I probably would get about 144 signals. Now multiply that by the 3 for the DOW/SPX/NAZ, that would total to about 432. To the best of recollection, I believe in those 4 years I only got 8 negated signals from those 3 indices, so the chances are about 1:50. Im not saying that I wont get a negated signals, but the probability just aint high of a negated signal occuring, not considering the fundamentals, current bullish momentum, etc. The SOX did show weakness today, and has been a reliable leading indicator for the NAZ/NDX, although there has been a few case recently where it hasn't. Reliable doesnt mean 100%. The NAZ NET HI-LOs were slightly negative, not giving a firm hint of direction. Im still bullish to the extent that this forthcoming short-term(1-5 days) pullback should not be strong, more like weak to normal, and that it should produce a HIGHER LOW.
