The most important market test of the past two months is NOW facing the market.

Note how the market Strength has behaved on our C-RSI, 30 day indicator. It has been in a down trend since April, and it has been in Negative Territory since the end of July. That has translated into a DOWN condition for the market during the past few months.

Is this about to change?

What happens within the next few days to the C-RSI's level will determine what happens next in the stock market.

This describes the BIG test coming up and what has to happen for the market to rally:

On Wednesday of this week, the C-RSI made progress and closed above the resistance line. NOW the C-RSI is at the important juncture of seeing if it can move above the red zero line. If that happens and holds on any retesting, the market will begin a new upside rally.
