Below is a yearly chart of the Dow created using Trade Station, it's data, and a Yearly Bar indicator posted in the Trade Station support forums by Suri. It creates a chart that has what looks like yearly bars based upon monthly data, which is hidden by making the monthly bars the same color as the background. I undertook this study in order to view very long term trends and Elliott wave patterns.
Manual DeMark TD Set Up, TD Sequential and TD Combination counts are color coded per the table in the chart. It's worth noting that the TD Combination blue 13 exhaustion signal hit at the end of a thrust phases1966 and 2000 and the red 13 TD Sequential trend exhaustion signal hits at inflections highs in corrective patterns that followed. This highlights the fractal nature of the Dow, in as much as the same type of signals often coincide with inflection points and the ends of waves of lower degree in the Dow, ( going down even to 1 minute charts).
Fib price and time extensions were placed on the chart and a few blue measurement bars. No Elliott wave labels were added, but a five wave pattern is clear. Also note that the leg up from the 1932 low to the 1938 high in log scale terms is almost equal to the distance of the leg up between 2009 and 2017. Also note that the rise from 1932 to 1938 was in 5 bars and the rise from 2009 to 2017 is in 8 bars (the low bars aren't counted)
Finally, note that yesterday the Dow hit the .100% price extension of the rise from the 1932 bottom and the 2000 top.
A Williams 5/34/5 histogram was incorporated at the bottom, but since the unseen underlying data is monthly, the Williams settings were multiplied by 12 in order to capture longer time frame (60/408/60). It has a peak currently which is consistent with the normal 5/34 used in the monthly time frame on the Dow peaking in wave 5's going back decades. There is something about the Dow's construction that makes the Williams 5/34 SMACD peak in wave 5's of the Dow.
