90/90 Day?

Was today a Lowry's 90/90 day? It looks to me like it was.

What is a 90/90 day?

 

a 90% downside day occurs when both the declining volume and the number of downside points equal or exceed 90% of the total volume and the total number of points, respectively. A 90% downside day sometimes signals the beginning of a panic decline, or if the market is already oversold, further evidence of a very oversold market. Generally, a significant market bottom is preceded by two or more number of 90% downside days. A single 90% downside day like today may create an oversold situation in the short-term - one which would signal a temporary bottom - but with a number of intermediate term indicators (see below charts) still neutral or in an overbought situation, the chances of a bottom here is very low. In fact, today's 90% downside day could be a signal for further panic declines down the road.



So it could go up or down?

 

According to Lowry's a 90/90 down day must be followed by a 90/90 up day to signal a new trend up.

 

Was he trying to sell this on that website as well? Or was this a freebie teaser to buy his book?

 

That was something I found on google, refers to a day in 2002. Anyone got any more information on this?

 

Look under Charles H. Dow Award Winner -2002. Paul Desmond , I believe.

===========
Thanks including the definition of 90/90;
other signals of new trend up= higher closes, higher closes.

Other signals of new trend up;
most of stocks in sectors closing higher,
higher highs, higher lows.......

Flip it for downtrends;
& probably a good idea for some players to believe.
''must be followed by 90/90 up day to signal a new trend up'',
especially in a bull market
