That price is above the 89 bar MA. No upward trend is in existance until that happens.

"As an experienced trader looking for short-term gains (~5 days), before taking a long position in stock XYZ I would absolutely and without exception check on the Moving Average of Volume indicator, to make certain that 30 day MA is > 50K." Actually I don't really check, in that the universe of stocks I look at starts out with that as a minimum parameter.

As an experienced trader looking for short-term gains (~5 days), before taking a long position in stock XYZ I would absolutely and without exception check on the MACD(9) indicator, to make certain that a) it was displaying an upward crossover, b) crossing upward through 0, c) was making a new 6 month high; Ex: my latest greatest...MAV. Shorter term, more violent explosions can be seen also (BDE in late March), however the MACD is not geared to rapid reaction;i.e., your 5 days. It's beauty, for me, lies in it's short to mid-term ability to predict behavioral changes. Its reaction is long enough to filter out a portion of any orchestrated manipulation, yet short enough to realize building optimism due to underlying fundamental changes. I am using the MACD(9) along w/some ADs to detect building momentum."
