The Worst For Stocks Is Not Over, It's About To Start

The Primary wave 2 (bear rally) in stocks ended on April 29. Since then, the weekly trend in price and volume has been bearish. Even with last Friday's "the worst is over" move in stocks.

 The below numbers confirm a bullish change in trend from a price, volume, and sentiment is not imminent.
