Buy The Rally Is Dead, Too
December 11 (King World News) – Here is a portion what Jason Goepfert at SentimenTrader noted today:  In Monday’s report, we saw that buy-the-dip behavior has ceased. More than half the time over the past six months, a decline over the past week led to further losses, instead of gains like we usually see during healthier markets (see chart below).

We could maybe say that this kind of behavior shows enough pessimism that it’s a good sign over the medium – to long-term, but there just aren’t enough signals, and the variability among them , especially in terms of the risk/reward, is too wide. It seems like a mild positive, though. This is another example of why Jason Goepfert is the best in the world at what he does — providing actionable market data.  To subscribe or try a free two week trial to the internationally acclaimed work that Jason Goepfert produces at SentimenTrader CLICK HERE.
