Chart below shows that at Nov lows the Market spiked 24% below its 50 ema and 37.49% below its 200 ema, if we apply those same percentages (assuming of course we get the same degree of capitulation) to the current values of the EMA's you get a target of 628 for the market using 24% below current 50 ema and a target of 638 using 37.5% below 200 ema......I guess you can add these to all of the other targets, of note is that during the 2000-2003 Bear the percentages got worse at each consecutive bottom but were still higher than what we saw in November

after a huge wave down in oct, any new wave down with the same degree of capitulation is gonna be a higher low. A lower cash will probably create divergences, which is where we are now. Clearly no buy divergences have triggered on any of the higher time frames yet. Stay tuned.

Hiker I look at those regularly, problem is they can bounce along the bottom while the market falls, maybe good to indicate the potential for a long setup but only in concert with other indicators
