The Situation

We just start to realize how deep the correction last summer was on the ​​
​US equity market: On the low made on August 24 2015 on the Dow Jones
​Transportation Average ( DJT ) at ​7452.70, even if few realize that the DJT
now trade ​just slightly above that level. ​(See first chart below: Amber Trendline)
​​​
The Mighty Dow Jones Transportation Average Index (DJT) is at some
major technical crossroads.​

Here is some Technical Observations:​​​
​1) DJT outperformed with 24.8% from its bottom reached on January 20 2016
​and SP500 is at only 15.3%​​​​ and in a steep uptrend channel. 
(See first chart below)​

​​2) DJT from highest peak price (reached on November 28 2014) to the lowest price yet (reached on
​January 20 2016) was 31.2% and only 15.2% for the Mighty SP500. ​​​​(See first chart below)​

​​​​3) DJT is near testing the Daily Support Trendline that started back on January 20 2016 from an Uptrend Channel. ​​​​(See first chart below - Channel - Ellipse)​

​​​​​​​4) DJT is still above the Fibonacci Retracement zone of .50% at 7857 (From peak price on May 20 2015 to the Low price on January 20 2016) (See first chart below - Thin Green Line - Ellipse)​

5) ​​On March 18 2016, on a relative basis (the ratio of Dow Jones Transportation ​to the Mighty Dow Jones Industrials) we kissed the 200 DMA (Day Moving Average) ​​(See second chart below - Green Line - Ellipse)​ and failed to stay above and now back below the previous break down zone. ​​(See second chart below - Brown Trendline - Ellipse)​

​​6) ​​Almost the same battle with the Mighty SP500 Index on a relative basis. The ratio (Dow Jones Transportation ​to the Mighty SP500 Index) tested the 200 DMA (Day Moving Average) on April 21 2016
​ 
​(See third chart below - Green Line - Ellipse)​ and we are back below the previous break down zone. ​​
​(See third chart below - Brown Trendine - Ellipse)​

 ​
As the ​​​​​Dow Jones Transportation ​finally rebounded strongly since January 20 2016, it failed to reach yet the 8300 zone; it is still into a lower highs and lower lows technical pattern, a completely different pattern than the SP500 Index. ​​​(See First Chart - Thick Amber Trendline - Ellipse) 

​​But most importantly, the Dow Jones Transportation was rejected strongly on a relative basis (Dow Jones Industrials and the SP500 Index) by failing to stay above the ultimate 200 DMA 
(Day Moving Average)​​​.
​(See second and third Chart)  
Bulls need to break those... 
The Dow Jones Transportation ​is obviously at Technical Crossroads.
