Dow Has Fallen 8 days in a Row. Medium-long Term Bullish for Stocks
Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018 Jun 22, 2018 - 02:10 PM GMTBy: Troy_Bombardia
The Dow Jones has fallen 8 days in a row. But as always, market stage matters (the same kind of price action means different things in different market stages). The Dow has fallen 8 days in a row while it’s still in an uptrend (i.e. is above its 200 daily moving average). This is uncommon – most 8 days in a row streaks occur when the Dow is in a downtrend (i.e. is below its 200 daily moving average).
Here’s what happens next to the Dow when it falls 8 days in a row while being above its 200 daily moving average.
Here’s what happens next to the S&P when the Dow falls 8 days in a row while being above its 200 daily moving average.

As you can see, the stock market tends to go up in the next 3-12 months when the Dow falls 8 days in a row while still in an uptrend.
Here are the historical cases in detail.
March 27, 2017
The S&P 500 rallied over the next 10 months before beginning a “small correction”.
May 9, 1989
The stock market rallied 5 months before starting a “small correction”.
January 18, 1968
The stock market was in the middle of a “small correction”. It rallied another 7 months.
July 19, 1963
The stock market rallied another 1.5 years before starting a “small correction”.
May 16, 1956
The S&P 500 was in the middle of a “significant correction” in this case. The Medium-Long Term Model doesn’t predict a “significant correction” right now.
Conclusion
The sample size of this study is small: only 5 cases. But this does support our other recent market studies, which suggest that the stock market will trend higher in the next few months.
