Croc, of course I acknowledge that the 50 and 200 of either sort (EMA or SMA) are trending upward, both long-term and intermediate term! Heck, the 50SMA crossing the 50EMA going up (last week) was, all by itself (in addition to the other crosses) a great long- intermediate-term buy signal. All I was saying was that, in the short term, we're getting another artificially short-MM-created walkdown to the 50EMA, which seems to be about as far down as they can force us. That's all I was saying. Down around the 50EMA volume dries up pretty much completely. I think there seems to have been some kind of misunderstanding here.
