October 25, 2012 Prices Move Higher

 

 

The market turned higher after two successive declines for the 74th repeat since the beginning of 2000. On the following day in the past, the momentum was for a further gain on the following day, with increases outnumbering declines   55 percent to 45 percent.

 

Overall, the next day’s average daily NASDAQ change comes to .27 percent over the two bear and two bull markets of the last 13 years. That beats the S&P’s average of .17 percent; it is more than double the DJIA’s .12 percent.

 

Our diagram indicates the following day’s incidents for the S&P500, with the green triangles showing gains while the red circles denote declines.

 

The NASDAQ changes on the following day, on average, overwhelm both the DJIA’s and the S&P500’s. Note also that the previous bull market generated larger daily changes than the current expansion.
