5 Signs of Stock Market Bottom

Since the beginning of the bear market since late 2007, the BSE index SENSEX has been falling with small breathers of trading in a range sometimes and still smaller bump up which did not sustain. Most mini rallies the stock market has witnessed have quickly dissipated in the face of bear hammering.

In the last couple of trading sessions the Indian stock market is yet again making another attempt at a rally. This rally has come at the back of remarks from bank CEOs and economic data that has led investors to believe they'd gotten too pessimistic.

The BSE is following global cues as the Dow Jones industrial average rallied for four straight days from nearly 12-year lows, and gained 597 points, or 9 percent — its best week since November. That followed a two-and-a-half month drop in the Dow of nearly 25 percent

According to Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. equity strategist for Citigroup "People have been worried that we're heading into this abyss ‘but’ there are signs that that's not the case, and there is some floor somewhere — that we may have overreacted."

The question top most on the mind of stock market investors is that if the worst really over?

There's no formula to find out if this latest rally will sustain. But market analysts are watching closely for signs that the worst might be behind us, and they say some good signs are starting to pop up.

"There are little subtle things that have happened that are good — good enough to see that market is trying to establish a near-term bottom," said John Kosar, market technician and president of Asbury Research in Chicago. "But it's way, way, way too premature to try to make an argument that this is 'The Bottom.' "

So what are the signs a prudent investor would look for to find out if the stock markets have bottomed out and what would indicate that there might be more down side yet?
