ppt: percentage points

The charts and tables above show that stocks in rising trends with breaks upwards continue to rise with a stronger rate of increase than stocks within rising trends. Stocks with breaks downwards from rising trends have also continued upwards, but at a rate of increase clearly weaker than stocks within a rising trend and only barely above the market development.

Stocks breaking downwards through the floor of a falling trend have seen very negative further development with a fall of 7.3 percentage points more than benchmark for the weighted average of all the Nordic signals. This is clearly weaker than stocks within a falling trend. Stocks that have broken upwards through the ceiling of a falling trend have developed neutrally compared to the marked in the coming period, which in absolute number gives a rise of 3.5 per cent in the next three months.

The above results fit well with technical analysis theory on breaks from trends. Breaks upwards have given rising prices and stronger rate of increase than earlier. Breaks downwards from rising trends have given continued rise but at a weaker rate of increase. Breaks downward from falling trends have given further fall at a stronger rate of decrease than before.

The results contradict the theory for one indicator: breaks upwards from falling trends. This has not given further fall, but instead an increase in line with the market.
