A rally is in process right now, as this market has whipsawed market participants.
The S&P500 has now broken out above resistance at 1328 on a closing basis and is primed to test the 1345-1350 area, while the DJIA is primed to test its all-time high near 11,750, as it came within two points of its all-time high close of 11,722 today.

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.
