    This first table shows us that seven of the top ten days with the most new highs came during the bull run of the 1990’s. The top day, Thursday, November 4, 1982 gave us the most NH’s all-time for the NASDAQ with 525 (only 13 new lows). The NH/NL 10-d MA Diff was 222, the NH/NL 30-d MA Diff was 196, the Adv-Dec Ratio was 1,087-469 and the NASDAQ closed at 225.01, up 1% for the day. The stock market bottomed on August 12, 1982 and rose 35 percent by the end of the year as we can see in the powerful NH/NL ratio averages listed above. The NH/NL 10-d MA Diff switched from negative to positive on Thursday, August 26, 1982 and never looked back (the tally was 180-15 that day); this was also the first day the NASDAQ NH/NL Diff popped above 100 since May that year. Talk about a market timer.
