Roll the Dice 1 in 4 chances of a crash and 5 out of 5 of a new low
Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 9:13PM Well slap me around and call me Susan, the bears got a nice victory again today. There was so much selling that 99% of the volume was to the downside. Giving the NYUPV/NYTV ratio a .01. This has happened only a few times. Here they are:
4 out of the 5 times the market was up the next day. There was one day when the market didn't go up, the 1987 crash. The last 4 times this occurred, the market rebounded and was positive 15 days later. All expect that one time the 1987 crash. Also notice that the .01 ratio happened twice in October of 1987, with the second time marking the rebound. So had you bought at the close today you have a 4 in 5 chance of being positive tomorrow and a 1 in 4 chance of getting wiped out by a crash. Its your move holy man!
If you are thinking longer term here are the charts following the .01 events
5 out of 5 times the .01 ratio has signaled that lower lows will come. 3 out of the 5 came within a few days. 2 of the 5 came within a month or two. Those are pretty good odds, we aren't going to rally to new highs anytime soon. But if you look at the chart, once those lows are in the market has rallied.
