Finding an Edge

I was going through three indexs tonight and found something worth writing down.

Dow Jones Composite Index

  • Slow Stochastic indicator dipped below 80 on the monthly chart. I found two other occasions when the market bounced off this level and found out the percentage drop from it’s recent peak to the low.
  • From January 1994 high to December 1994 low: -17.14%
  • From July 1998 high to September 1998 low: -21.23%
  • From July 2007 high to January 2008 low: -17.57%

Dow Jones Industrial Average Index

  • Slow Stochastic indicator stayed above the mid level since 1950 on the quarterly chart.
  • 15 period moving average is the support on the quarterly chart.

Standard & Poors Dep Rec

  • The last time the SPY was in a bear market, SPY went down initially 4 months in a row before moving up on the 5th month.
  • Market went up 10.49% after being down 4 months in a row from September 2000 to December 2000.
  • Currently, the SPY is down 4 months in a row, and I expect it will move higher to about 139.
