There is a certain ebb and flow in an uptrend where the advances consistently outpace the pullbacks. Think of it as two steps forward and one step backward. The chart for Analog Devices (ADI) shows a big move to new highs from August to November and then a 50-62% retracement with the decline back to the 84 area. The move to new highs represents the two steps forward and the retracement represents the one step backward. It looks like the step backward is ending because ADI broke above the 50-day EMA with a two day surge and MACD moved above its signal line.
