The internal divergences are strong now, look at how the nymo has broken down, also look at IYB's indicators which have gone to a sell now, IYB has a very strong track record with these. If the XMI breaks above the trendline it has hit, you will be right. The Canadian dollar is also reversing now, that is tied in closely with commoditities. As gannglobal.com has documented in their recent videos, the 'dna' of past markets (looking back hundreds of years) similar to now indicates that a correction is most probable. The stats are highly against the market going higher now before a correction in their view, even though they think we have entered a new bull market longer term, but history shows that a test of the lows is most likely now, so in my view the coming test will be critical as to whether the economy move up from here or not, it the March lows are broken then more trouble will follow obviously.
The nymo was diverging through almost all of 03 as well. I respect IYB's system and it has done well since I've been reading FF, but do not know if it has been reliable at the start of a new bull, not sure what it would have acted like in '03 for instance. I think gann global is wrong, IWV just made a higher high, taking out the Jan 7th pivot high, that severely cuts the chances of a large pull back. Higher and higher pivot highs are what define a bull market imo. Looking at the Dow's monthly means all the way back to 1928, in each instance where those means declined > 40% from their all time high and then price went on to make a higher high (taking out the last monthly mean pivot high), each one of these instance is followed by significantly higher prices and no major pullback for many months to come . Dow is on the verge, XMI even closer. IWV, SPX, NDX already have done so. If the dow just hangs around > 8620 all this month it will have also fulfilled the higher high requirement.
Higher highs are bullish.
