The DJIA Bullish Percent Index ($BPINDU) moved above 70% in June and remains at lofty levels. Mid December and early January were the last two occasions above 70%. Currently, 73% of the Dow stocks (30) are on Point & Figure buy signals. Even though this is technically bullish, an advance is usually getting overbought when this indicator exceeds 70%.
