On February 2nd we stated “… we got the upside progress, WITHOUT the testing of those lows which, in our opinion, leaves us vulnerable to test them soon.” in reference to the January 22 & 23rd lows made in most major US Stock Market Indexes. Well, we began the process of testing those lows on Thursday and Friday as most indexes broke key supports above them. The S&P 500 closed face down for the week on its weekly 200 sma or daily 1000 sma which it did NOT close below on January 22 or 23rd. There are some positive OBV divergences (using the Jan lows as the price comparison point) in some of the major indexes at the moment although the full depth of the lows have not been tested yet. Breadth for the overall market was about exactly the same as the week ending February 8th. So, we do not have a stronger downside pulse in breadth at this lower index price level compared to Feb 8th. This would suggest the Jan 22 & 23rd lows holding the decline next week. Some strong buying was seen in the final hour of trading on Friday which also suggests the same thing.
