1) Moving Averages — When the market changes to a trading market from a bear market the moving averages will no longer lag as far behind the actual price or shorter moving 115 average as was the case in the preceding bear market. Traders can now expect a flattening out of the moving average curve to correspond with the flattening of market prices. If they continued to sell the breakdowns and defer from buying as before, they would be continually whipsawed (instead, they should sell the breakouts and buy the breakdowns).

2) RSI, and Oscillators — In the bear down trend traders would have an overwhelming number of oversold signals and a dearth of over bought signals. They could have adjusted the overbought parameter to the downside to give themselves, in effect, “overbought” signals to initiate short positions on. At the changing point, the number of oversold and overbought signals begins to equal each other in numbers. They could sell the overbought and buy the oversold with confidence at this point.

3) Stochastics — During the bear market, crossovers from the oversold side were less valid as buy signals than crossovers from the overbought side were as sell signals. They will now appear equally valid as the trading market appears.

4) On-Balance Volume and Tic Volume — The OBV curve and Tic Volume flatten out after the bottom price is made, thereby giving traders an after-the-fact confirmation of the end of the down move, but not a reliable anticipatory signal.

5) Elliott Wave — The ‘bear move down’ would have been an impulse wave down and the trading market would have been a corrective wave to this. Once traders have determined which of the three impulse waves (1,3, or 5 of an impulse 1-2-3-4-5, or even in a larger dimension or c of an a-b-c correction) they were in the process of completing they would have a better idea of what type of correction was beginning
