The DJI tried to breakout above 185 in February 1947.  The
Accumulation Index was positive, but the NYSE A/D Line did
not confirm the breakout.  The breakout failed and the DJI had
to retest its lows of August 1946. In June 1947, it broke out above
a 10-month, well-tested price down-trendline.  The A/D Line
improved quickly and the Accumulation Index moved over +.25.
But the rally again stalled out at 185 in July 1947.

 

 

     The DJI ran up and fell back from 185-190 on four different occasions.
This set up a key resistance level.  Once penetrated, it would become
important support and signify the likely beginning of an important
advance provided internal strength readings confirmed the breakout.
