***** Technical Analysis (Sept 12)****
This is an new TA update.
On Tuesday the market rallied very strongly all day and closed near the highs of the day.
The NYSE a/d was 3/1, u/d vol was 17/5, on moderate volume of almost 2.3B shares.
The Nasdaq a/d was 21/8, with u/d vol extremly positive at 9/1, on light volume of 1.6B shares. The Nasdaq/NYSE McClellan Oscillators were higher at +27/+11, turning the Summation back upwards.
Daily stochastics crossed up on the very strong rally while about half of the MACD's remain slightly crossed down while a few were now crossed up.
The rally today portends a rally tomorrow morning, and the internals will signal the durability of that rally, which could last a while.

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.
