With the DJIA trading above its 200-day SMA line and the 50-day SMA line fast approaching the 200-day SMA line, the DJIA is looking more & more like September 2010. See Chart 2 below. If the 50-day SMA line were to cut above the 200-day SMA line and the index were to break above the 12550, we could see the continuation of the prior uptrend for DJIA.

The strength of DJIA is not reflected in the Nasdaq. Nasdaq need to break above its accelerated downtrend line (RR) at 2630 as well as the intermediate downtrend line (R1-R1) at 2690. See Chart 3 below.

Like DJIA, Nasdaq is also looking more & more like September 2010 except for one small little detail- the 200-day SMA line is still pointing downward. See Chart 4 below. If the 50-day SMA line were to cut above the 200-day SMA line and the index were to break above the 2690, we could also see the continuation of the prior uptrend for Nasdaq.

Based on the above, we must be mentally prepared for a recovery in the US stock markets and possibly the global equity markets for 1st quarter 2012.
