10 Day High Alert- This is an alert that the market has hit a 10 day new high intra-day today. Historically this has meant that when the market is above its 200 day ma, little progress has been seen over the next 2-5 days (on average) as the market is either overbought or nearing overbought conditions. It's a good place to be taking profits. When the market is below its 200 day ma and the market hits a new 10 day high, it has been, on average, a good place to be looking to put on short positions.
Adv. Issues > Dec. Issues 3 Days In A Row- Too many stocks rising in one day or over multiple days usually precede a market that will be quiet or drop. Too many stocks declining in one day or over multiple days usually precede a market rally, especially when the market is above its 200 day ma.
