Stocks are approaching their January lows here; can they hold on this retest? Sentiment is in the bulls' favor, as we've stated ad nauseum, but so far that's done little to create higher prices.

A hopeful sign for Dow Theorists, but we'd need to see new intermediate-term highs for a confirmed bull signal under Dow Theory. The Big Picture | Three of the Nasdaq Four Horseman Are Limping::
