This Chart Tells Us What’s REALLY Going On In The Market
Today, I’m going to show you exactly what I’m looking for to see if this is simply a market correction or a sign of more ominous things to come.

This would show strong participation in the market and confirm the bullish trend. However, if the AD Line fails to keep pace with the underlying index, this is a sign of weakness… Read More
