The primary point of divergence is what type of cuts will be most likely to get Americans spending, and whether the wealthy will wastefully save their extra cash or use it to create jobs.
This put the trader on notice to watch the action the following week, as the bullish divergence (higher OBV at point 2 then at point 1) was a positive sign.
Several days after the low (September 20) I became much more defensive as the weekly relative performance or RS analysis had formed a negative divergence and the daily OBV was below its WMA (point 7).
But as Jack Lew said in his op-ed, and as the President and Jack have talked about in the construction of the budget, we have reached a point where we have to do something about what we take in and what we spend and the great divergence in those two numbers, and that this process is not going to be an easy one.
