A short-term pullback may be imminent, but a "very rare, but very significant" technical indicator is pointing to higher stock prices over the next couple of months, says Ron Meisels, a technical analyst at Phases & Cycles Inc. <\/p>\n

In a note to clients, Mr. Meisels highligted the 2-1 Advance\/Decline indicator that occurs when the number of advancing issues on the NYSE outnumber the number of declining issues by a ratio of two to one for a period of ten consecutive trading days.<\/p>\n

He said it usually occurs at major market lows and before March 2009 it had occurred only three times in 48 years. But over the past 13 months, the 2-1 Buy signal has been triggered three times: March 6, July 23, Sept 17.  <\/p>\n

"The message from the markets has rarely been more obvious," the technical analyst said. "Following earlier 2-1 Advance\/Decline Buy Signals, stock markets almost always rose to new all time highs, or within 10% of new highs, within 15 months or so."   <\/p>\n

Having reached an 18-month high this week, the S&P\/TSX composite exchange remains 20% of its record high. South of the border, the S&P 500 is still down 22%.  <\/p>\n

"While the 2-1 Buy Signal and the number of stocks making new 52 week highs all suggest that a market top is at least six months away, a short-term dip could occur at any time," he said.  <\/p>\n

"A short-term decline, which is likely to create more fear, could be just what is required to make stock prices rally once again, to fulfil what a host of other indicators have been suggesting for the longer term." <\/p>\n
