Steve,

If you check the charts on the MDA WEBSITE the trendlines are drawn in. Which connects the lows since OCT.

One could argue that once a trendline is pierced a new trendline should be drawn. That depends if it was a confirmed break of the trendline, which I would prefer to see 3-5 days below the trendline to say it is confirmed. In the 2 cases in 2 weeks where the trendline was pierced, the NAZ and SPX rebounded above the trendline
not confirming the break. However, my opinion is that that since the trendline was pierced temporarily twice in 2 weeks, it is giving a
significant hint of weakness to come, and with the likihood of that trendline failing.

Hope, I was able to answer your question.
