Hi dentist007,
Always like a thread about P&F!
In your last post you say that the S&P is in a downtrend and, certainly, most people looking at the chart wouldn't argue with you about that. Can you outline how you define uptrend and downtrend in P&F terms please? I'm curious because the horizontal red line you've drawn at 1095.2 shows a breach of the double top (which is why you've drawn it, I presume) and makes the chart bullish, according to Jeremy du P'. In your view, what else needs to happen (if anything) to be able to say that the downtrend is over and that the index is now in an uptrend?
Cheers,
Tim.

a simple way is to draw a trendline after each signal.however,this would then crowd the
chart with too many lines.so then only draw the ones that the price came off a top/bottom.see the ones that were drawn in the chart below
the downtrend is over when there is a breach of the 45 degree trendline,usually with a signal at or near the trendline.so.yes the chart is bullish in a downtrend.bullish,being the lsat double-top signal
