The DJIA only achieved its MINIMUM downside objective on Friday, i.e., a 38.2% retrace of the 2016-2018 rally.
Dec 21
The Bullish Percent Indexes for the NDX100 and SP500 are at their lowest levels since 2009. The BPI for the DJIA is at its lowest since 2015. All are considered bad oversold readings.

I'm thinking c of A.

The late Marty Zweig is well known for his breadth thrust indicator. Less well known is his high-low index measuring the 60-day ma of the ratio of NYSE 52-wk highs to 52-week lows. The attached chart shows that his index is now on a par with previous cyclical lows since 1974.

To add salt to the wound, the Bullish Percent Index for the DJIA is at a meaningfully o/b reading of 86.67% even as there is an Elliott Wave count suggesting the potential for a downside acceleration.

Be careful. Today's decline is potentially the beginning of wave 3 of C from the early October top. That is the equivalent of a powerful third-of-a-third.
