I took a harder look at the daily MACD versus the weekly MACD setup in the general market indices. From what I can see, should the INDU sell off to the levels I posted recently (11965) and then bounce, I think that there is an even greater chance the INDU will be able to rally to new highs before another stronger selloff can take place.
With the weekly MACD not illustrating the same divergence between MACD and price being illustrated in the daily MACD, then a technical selloff in the INDU will likely be short lived. The effect of the correction will be to take the daily MACD below zero and only turn the weekly MACD down a few points, but off its highs nonetheless. With a rally likely to take place after any correction, the effect will be to turn the daily MACD back towards zero, and the weekly MACD will likely continue its downward tilt, or at the very least, move sideways, thus setting up a possible weekly MACD divergence should prices reach new highs. This would be the setup that I would want to begin shorting the market in earnest.
