The ratios of up to down signals was pretty convincing even though the markets were mixed. However, the markets dropped significantly from their highs at the end of the day. We could see some downward signals tomorrow from these stocks swinging like this.

Market Summary for 1/28/2008

Markets Snapshot:

The markets continued their move higher, but the NASDAQ is still in Os. It will only take less than half a percent of stocks to move to Xs.


NASDAQ BP: 19%
NYSE BP: 22%

Stock Movement Summary:

Created X: 297 O: 135
New Signals: Buy - 29, Sell - 9
New Reversals: Up - 166, Down - 327
Broke Double Tops/Bottoms: Tops - 6, Bottoms - 7

Although the day ended higher, the day still shows somewhat mixed results as evident by the 2:1 of reversals down to up. It doesn't look like all of the stocks were convinced of the need to go higher.
