The MDA Breakouts Algorithm provides a highly reliable method for classifying individual stocks into the 7 Segments of the Momentum Cycle.
The two most interesting Segments are Negative Acceleration or Segment 2, and Positive Acceleration Segment 6.
The Negative Acceleration segment follows the negative topping signal and represents strong accelerating declines. In these conditions nothing seems to slow the selling and good earnings results are ignored or even punished.
The Positive Acceleration segment is the strong positive bull market condition where gains are large and accelerating at a record pace with high net inflows into the market.
