Interestingly, EWFF sees a "diamond" (i.e.,
bearish) in the stock market's sideways shuffle
over the last two years. The editors say that
they spotted the same thing in July 2000, citing
the chartists' bible of an earlier generation:
"In their classic work 'Technical Analysis of
Stock Trends,' Robert Edwards and John Magee note
that the diamond pattern is extremely rare and
exceptionally bearish."
And they do mean exceptionally bearish. EWFF says
the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJ: news,
chart, profile) could go below the 7000's level
seen after the 2000 diamond.
In the current climate, a close below 10,300,
they say, would be a bad sign.
