Flat Topped Trading Range Breakouts (C) 2013 www.tigersoft.com 11/10/2013 >Momentum strongly favors an upside breakout above a flat resistance zone in a DJI trading range, even when the A/D Line is lagging. Breakouts are less likely in November than in January. > Peerless Buys will likely tell us when there will be a big decline from resistance (November 1980 or on a false breakout (January 1973 or September 2012. . > 5%-6% DJI pullbacks above flat resistance occured without Sells in 1984 three times: September, October and November) and in 1986 (November). > Novembers brought reversals down, not breakouts, in 1980. However, 1972 did yield a successful November breakout, as Nixon's re-election was celeberated. >Breakouts are more common in late December or January. Valid late December/January flat topped breakouts occurred in 1985, 1987 and 1991. The breakout in January 2000 was quite false. The Peerless Sells in January 2000 were unmistakably bearish. >The NYSE A/D Line is lagging the DJI now. Flat topped breakouts can still work out in these circumstances, but the advances are more likely to be limited than bring big advances that last more than 3 months.

Too few cases to reach a firm conclusion. They can wobble out of synch for a year but still maintain an upward trend OR if there is a PEERLESS Sell, the SP-500 first and then the NASDAQ, a month or so later will be tripped up.
