Subject: Re: Jim's bottom detector
Latest update on my bottom detectors:
2025-03-28 No signal...
2025-03-31 Minor bottom signal
2025-04-01 No signal
2025-04-02 No signal
2025-04-03 Minor bottom signal
2025-04-04 Minor bottom signal
2025-04-07 One of my two major bottom detectors triggered, but not the best and oldest "classic" one with all the post discovery history.

Just a follow up.

The major bottom detector didn't trigger.

The "newer major bottom" signal isn't really as good as the classic, it's really just an extra strong version of the minor bottom. (confused yet?)

So here is a recap of early April

2025-03-28 No signal
2025-03-31 Minor bottom signal
2025-04-01 No signal
2025-04-02 No signal
2025-04-03 Minor bottom signal
2025-04-04 Minor bottom signal
2025-04-07 Strong minor bottom signal (could be thought of as a newer/worse major bottom signal)
2025-04-08 Strong minor bottom signal (could be thought of as a newer/worse major bottom signal)
2025-04-09 Strong minor bottom signal (could be thought of as a newer/worse major bottom signal)
2025-04-10 No signal
2025-04-11 Minor bottom signal
2025-04-14 No signal

The market was lowest on the 7th, and the lowest close was the 8th.
So, on the theory that you want safety, you'd be buying the first day there was NOT a signal, which would be April 10. It is generally quite evident well before market close.
The US market is up 5.7% since the close on the 10th, so far. Usually the one-month-forward returns are good after such a signal. On average, anyway.
