Market Action- 12 Week Rally Ends – In A Correction:
The 12-week rally ended on Tuesday, November 16, 2010 after the major averages plunged in heavy volume back down towards their respective 50 DMA lines. In recent weeks, we have repeatedly written about how the major averages were experiencing wide-and-loose action after a big move and made it very clear that that was not a healthy sign. At this point, we are looking for a new rally to be confirmed with a new follow-through day before taking any new positions. Caution and patience are key at this point. Trade accordingly.

This is the next important level of support for the major averages and several leading stocks. It is of the utmost importance for the bulls to show up and defend the 50 DMA line in order for this rally to remain intact. Caution and patience is key at this point. Trade accordingly.
