Transports Face Possible 'Sell-Now' Pattern

Published 08/10/2017, 10:57 AM

Below looks at the Dow Jones Transportation index since 1994. Is it possible that the index is repeating the same patterns we saw back in 1999 and 2007?

Below is an update on a potential pattern that we have been sharing with members for months.

Dow Transports Since 1994

In 1999, Transports closed slightly higher than in 1998, as it appeared that a bullish breakout was in play. Quickly the index reversed and broke support at (1), which was followed by a good deal of selling pressure, driving the index much lower. The breakout was nothing more than a fake out in 1999.

In 2008, Transports closed slightly higher than in 2007, which again looked like a bullish breakout was in play. The index soon reversed and broke support at (2), which was followed by selling pressure, driving the index lower. The breakout was nothing more than a fake out in 2008.

Over the past couple of years, the pattern in the transports looks a good deal like it did in 1999 and 2007. As we have been sharing with members for month, the odds of a repeat are low, yet if the pattern we are sharing is correct, the impact could be quite large.

At this time, the Transports index is testing rising support at (3). Even if the pattern does not repeat, if support gives way at (3), it could encourage selling in this important index.
