The pattern is to post a sharp rally followed by one final decline to new lows.<\/p>\n<p>Sharp rallies formed recently in both pork bellies and gold. Following the rallies, both markets plummeted to new lows. However, once new lows were made, the declines stalled. The failure to sustain the break on the move to new lows indicated the selling was effectively exhausted and potential bottoms had formed. A similar pattern marked the low in soybeans prior to the 1983 bull market.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/club.ino.com\/trading\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/page-14-chart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-616\" title=\"page-14-chart\" src=\"\/\/club.ino.com\/trading\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/page-14-chart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/page-14-chart.jpg 638w, https:\/\/www.ino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/page-14-chart-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The logic behind this type of bottoming action is that the persistence of the downtrend has finally forced the bulls out of the market. As the last longs are liquidated, the burden of keeping the down-move going falls totally on the shoulders of the bears to keep pressure on. Any faltering of the bears to keep the pressure on can lead to a sharp short-covering rally as the sellers \"all\" turn buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Any hint of bullish news accompanying the short covering rally will tend to entice the emotional bulls back into the market. Then, as the bullishness diminishes, the sellers try to reassert themselves. Often a push to new lows occurs and the stops of the early bulls are triggered. The stops provide additional short-term selling pressure. When this subsides and the bears find no more selling entering the market, they head for cover in a more orderly fashion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/club.ino.com\/trading\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/page-15-chart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-617\" title=\"page-15-chart\" src=\"\/\/club.ino.com\/trading\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/page-15-chart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"407\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/page-15-chart.jpg 407w, https:\/\/www.ino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/page-15-chart-204x300.jpg 204w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A relatively gentle up-move starts as the market searches for the levels which will entice sellers back into the market.
