The major stock indexes are at a low. An upside reversal is due. The Russell 2000 and the S&P 600 may be leading the way.
The stock market and the major Indexes have taken a terrible beating over the past several days. Investors are at the point of throwing in the towel, which in my estimation would be a mistake now, because our Indicators and the Japanese Candlestick price formations in the Dow Industrials Index and in the S&P 500 Index suggest that prices are coming into a low and that an upside reversal is due. Furthermore, the Candlestick formations of the Russell 2000 Index and of the S&P SmallCaps 600 Index suggest that, in those Indexes at least, the turn has already come and that their prices are in line for a substantial upward correction. So in that regard, the Russell and the 600 may be leading the pack.
I think that the correction which is in store could be quite substantial. This will not equate to a reversal of major trend, which remains Down; but its imminence ought to be enough to dissuade disillusioned shareholders from selling now. The right time to sell, unfortunately, was a year ago; but that’s water under the bridge. The correct action right now would appear to be to wait for the correction to take hold and then to assume a selling stance as near to the top of the expected crest as possible.
In particular now, the Russell 2000 and the S&P 600 assumed Candlestick “piercing” patterns last Friday right at the bottom of the low. Prices “pierced” quite substantially the price bars of the previous day. I take those moves as strong suggestions that the move will continue upward into a meaningful upward correction until prices finally crest and then turn down again in the major downtrend.

More on the Four-Bar Variation of the Evening Star Candlestick Pattern
The Japanese Candlestick "Evening Star" pattern consists of three price bars in the classic version. It is a potent predictor of trend change. The four-bar variation is also a reliable forecaster of change in trend, and deserves to be recognized as a legitimate variation on the original.
Candlesticks Alone Are Only Half The Story
Japanese Candlestick financial price presentation is adept at spotting reversals of trend. The accurancy of the candles is enhanced by contemporaneous use of selected indicators; and is brought closer to perfection by an understanding and application of the relationships between the waves of the indicators.
