Summary

Milton Berg, Founder and CIO of Milton Berg Advisors, joins managing editor Ed Harrison to analyze the technical patterns and market internals on his radar. From his repository of over 10,000 indicators, Berg selects and discusses the ones he thinks are most compelling, such as 5-day breadth thrust, consecutive volume-up days, and the put/call ratio. Berg then observes that the equity markets are behaving like commodities, in that they are trending upward as volume spikes. Lastly, Berg and Harrison try and reconcile some oddly bullish indicators with the macro backdrop with Berg casting doubt on the long-term sustainability of central bank’s ability to ballast asset prices.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The data say yes, but Milton, in terms of his judgment

he thinks is happening in the markets.

1:06.0

Right as well, but I'm not the greatest turning master anymore.

1:09.0

Well, this is a really difficult experience that we're going through in terms of dealing with turns because you know you and I I think we spoke maybe two weeks ago about some of the indicators

March liquidity crisis but I want to sort of contextualize the whole thing on two levels
