%% Good chart; 50dma /200 dma, MOST all the the trends are up on your chart/mine also. The confusion is the few downtrends you may see/ are far outnumbered by all the uptrends/all data, daily weekly,monthly , 3 month 6 month,yearly 2 year, 3 year, upsloping 50dma, up 200dma. SO one days close doesnt mean much@ all/takes20days closes 50 closes or 200 closes. AS far as lower range of one days data,50dma 20,200 days mean much more...................................................... barchart.com rates it 100% buy, long term, 100% buy medium term, 100 buy short term. I have IBD books,1999- 2008 - now charts . Many gaps are bullish; 10% gap up maybe a pause pattern......................................... HIS books are a good study, even though i percieve you have read them.Good
