The market in a 7-month broadening triangle pattern
The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 (DWC) is in a 7-month broadening triangle pattern. The market has been in a very volatile storm for last three weeks. The strong volatility storm with the first sharp drop of the market in the first week of this month acted like the front eyewall of a hurricane. The rebonce in the second week of this month acted like the eye of a hurricane that looked like the storm was over. But the market gave us another strong volotility storm this week. It acted like the back eyewall of a hurricane. Now the market could be in the last part of the storm. Currently the market is in the choppy zone of the formation. Set guards at the both boundary of the formation for trading mode change. The colors on the price bars represent the status of the LWX (Leading Wave Index).
