Stock Market Dow Theory Divergence Returns Caution Warranted
Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017 Nov 09, 2017 - 10:43 AM GMTThe bull price action momentum that returned to the Dow Transports September 11th last has now vanished, and is beginning to indicate renewed market weakness.
The Dow Industrials, the S & P 500 and the NASDAQ are displaying no such tendency. On the contrary, they show all the signs of a parabolic “blow-off”, which is the classic signature of a bull market termination.
In and of itself, a trend change in the Dow Transports is of no significance unless confirmed by the Dow Industrials. However, the fact that the Russell 2000 has broken a “line” and is showing similar momentum decline is a development that traders might ponder upon and accordingly take some profits off the table. If the 9021 price point on the Trannies is breached I would be even more defensive.
