Morning Corner 6.9.11

DJ TRANS AVG (weekly info)
WEEKLY REVERSAL new low 5220.25
trend=no
direction=down (1 bar)
low= 5220.25
rev= 5514.87; mid= 5367.56

Is the DJ Trans Avg leading the way for the rest of the US indices? It's already confirming the weekly 3LB reversal. It's further below its SMA(21). It's below its monthly 3LB mid. Please form a single line at the exit. No pushing.



DJ INDU AVG (weekly info)
-no change (below mid)
trend=no
direction=up (2 bars)
high= 12810.54
rev= 11858.52; mid= 12334.53

The Dow Industrial is not fully in sync with the Trans Avg…yet. But because the high coincided with the end of the month and end of the week the 3LB reversals are similar. It's below its weekly 3LB mid (& monthly) but hasn't reversed. It's also below its SMA(21). A lot can happen in two days.
