The index rallied in 2007, coming up just short of 2000 levels, where selling pressure came forward at (2).
The index rallied back to 2000 and 2007 highs last year, where it created back to back monthly reversal patterns at (3). Since creating those monthly reversal patterns, the index has created a series of lower highs, just along line (4).
This index remains inside of a 6-year rising bullish channel, despite the weakness over the past 18-months. If the index would break below this 6-year rising channel, suspect selling pressure would take place.
