PPO is a short-term oscillator which measures the percent of divergence between the three major stock market indices (DJIA, S&P500, and the NYSE Composite), and their time-weighted moving averages.
When two of the three indices are simultaneously in double digits below those respective moving averages, we have Capitulation.
There have been 17 dates that this has happened in the past. The signal came an average of 13 days off the market low and 5.2% away from the low in price. Six months later the average gain of the 17 signals is 16.9%.
The end of the last 10 bear markets were signaled, and 3 of the 7 before that. Some bear markets end, however, with a whimper, hence no Capitulation indication.
