The Counter-Argument For A Bullish Bounce

With the Dow down over three thousand points from its bull market peak, there is naturally a lot of chatter about how far the market is going to fall.

First up is the SPY, the biggest ETF in the world, which is coming right upon the same trendline that offered support on February 9th before a gigantic reversal. Take note also how this trendline was the support trendline when the market was trapped in a channel for months.

The Dow Industrials trendline, by way of the DIA, goes back even farther. This is the first time in years we’ve approached this major supporting line.
