Seems like it was either manipulated higher, or the underlying issues are not what it represented 

10 years ago. This was an easy divergence and very early to be able to short, instead of looking at NYAD which proved an utter failure this time.

CLK, you're just looking at the wrong AD line.  Go to Stockcharts.com and load daily $NAAD for three months cumulative versus $COMPQ.  There was a perfect longer term sell divergence back at the middle of February and a short term buy divergence at the close yesterday (futures are flying this morning).  I watch both every day, but sometimes one is working and sometimes the other.  These days it's the NASTY.  

 

Regards,

Douglas

NYSE Breadth wasn't helpful at the top, but this was.

Commodities were slowly loosing their value 6 months previous to the top...   Market was overbought due to the fundamentals ( although not greatly )...    Currently all my bottoming type charts are stretched to the point we should have a major bounce, at least enough to get McClellan Summation back to the 0-line...   We could bounce around these levels for awhile before we take off....

Sold some long positions. Is this the big bounce or another little bounce and then down more? I don't know. I have made a decision to sell rallies until there is some confirmation.

It's no problem the A/D line didn't diverge, but that was supposed to limit any downside to 10%, not 32%.

NYSE Summation also had massive divergence on test of the highs. The big gap down out of that divergence was all she wrote...

What does this mean? I don't understand why you think this would limit the decline.

We have never in 100 years had a bear market decline 20% without the divergence.

I've seen so many failed signals on NYSI that I don't even use it anymore.
