I asked the question yesterday if we're out of the correction yet in IBD terms. IBD will typically say that a new rally begins with two big days up on higher volume. Thursday seemed a bit like a follow through with everything but energy in the green. I jumped out to the book store today to grab an IBD to see what they had to say officially and we're still in a correction.
Although I don't really subscribe to IBD methodologies, I do like to test things that are purported. This is just another one of those things.
Reader "mike" commented shortly after the open yesterday that he would have a bit more faith in this being a bottom if things held up on Friday. They did. Things remain interesting.
