***** Technical Analysis (Oct 3)****
This is an new TA update.
On Wednesday the major indices were up strongly on heavy volume. The breadth was very positive while the u/d vol was even better, at about 4/1, on very heavy volume on the NYSE.
The daily stochastics are crossed up again for the major indices, as the stochastic "pop" continues.
The Dow traded to a new all-time high and the S&P500 traded to a multi-year high, as they appear to be broken out above resistance now and headed higher.
Oil and gold appear to have a chance for a rally now as the selling pressure has dissipated for the time being.
The McClellan Oscillators are now in positive territory again for the Nasdaq/NYSE.

Be sure to use the advantages of the "top-down" approach, a paradigm in technical trading. The bottoms-up approach refers to the idea that market timing is not used and that the goal is to select strong companies from a fundamental standpoint to buy and hold.
The "top-down" approach refers the the idea that one first ascertains the trend of the market, the strongest or weakest sectors for that trend, and the strongest or weakest stocks within those sectors, to trade, all with the trend.
