Capitulation

Capitulation

By definition, capitulation means to surrender or give up. The technical annalist will use the term to isolate a point in time when investors have decided to give up on trying to recapture lost gains as a result of falling stock prices. On capitulation day, investors gripped by fear and panic will sell at any price.




Capitulation day occurs at the end of a corrective period and never at the beginning.

I encourage everyone to talk about their personal technical analysis work. just make sure to mention that you represent yourself and not the CSTA. day occurs at the end of a corrective period and never at the beginning.

broader market peaks of last summer an so I assume these two important stocks will bottom several weeks ahead of a broader recovery.

I will be on sheep and smart money watch and share my observations with you.

Dow Industrial vs Dow Transports

The relationship between the Dow Industrial and the Dow Transports will often signal important turning points - We will use WEEKLY - DAILY or INTER-DAY patterns to get the important signal

We are always looking for DIVERGENCE - which appears twice on the two charts - can you spot it? Hint - the second divergence (positive) is appearing today, Friday.

5-Day Trading Dow Industrials Monday to Friday 2:30 pm - still under pressure

5-Day Trading Dow Transports Monday to Friday 2:30pm - note the higher price

Dow Theory

A few comments on Dow Theory and a pending "sell" signal

- The Dow Theory "buy" and "sell" signals are very reliable - almost 90% over the past 90 years
- Dow Theory "buy" and "sell" signals are usually late - about 1/3 into a new bull or bear market
- The principle is a little complex but the basic rule is the DOW Industrials and the DOW Transports must confirm one another
- Three technical events must occur the get a buy or sell signal
- One of the averages makes a new 52-week high or low (1)
- The other fails to confirm and trades down to a "significant" low sometimes when the other is at a new 52-week high (2)
- Both rally and then trade below the "significant" low posted by the weaker average (3)
