Getting Some Perspective
From a Dow Theory point of view this is the situation as I see it. The market is giving very strong signals particularly on the Transports side. My key break point is 5265 to give the first indication that the new Bull Run has commenced. We are currently at 4735. Near but not quite there. My key break point on the Dow Industrials is 13566. WE are currently at 11146 some 2420 points away.
From a purely momentum perspective if the current positions on the Dow Transports and the Dow Industrials are solidly broken up through, even though the market is very overbought (based on fast and slow stochastics and the McClennan Summation index) it will very bullish short term. This situation is corroborated by price action on the NASDAQ and the S & P.
As we are currently down the line on a fairly positive earnings season and it is understandable that when it ends there should be a correction, but if it proves to be mild it will offer an excellent buying opportunity to participate in your favourite value and momentum targets.
