Correctamundo!

Hence we need a number of plus days to even start to show an improvement in new highs versus new lows.... Indeed an uphill battle.

Market breadth-"Conversely, an up day will not show a very long list of new highs."

Today's data verifies your point. However, let's see if there's improvement over time... If we do, then perhaps the bull is back.

Of course on a day like today, the advances vs declines are very favorable - as expected. But again, let's see if any trend will develop...

Will we retest recent lows in the upcoming weeks/months? Suggest about a 50% retest (of the Dow low)-let's say 7750 - and then a more solid move up. What do you think? Wishful thinking or a fearless-forecast? Some might say a rather foolish forecast...

Conversely, an up day will not show a very long list of new highs.

However, for it to be a convincing "up" day, at least the flood of "new lows" must slow down to a trickle. It doesn't seem to be happening here. About 4% of NYSE and about 5% of Nasdaq stocks hit new lows just today...

Dipy.
