Further Deterioration!

Note that while the Dow registered an increase for the week, internally, in my judgement, two components slipped from the rising trend category which is now back to the 50% level. That's right on the cusp.

T was the only component that put in a new significant rising trend line on the weekly charts (2/28 low of 35.19 to 6/22 low of 38.70), perhaps because of the tie-in with AAPL's iPhone. What this means to me is that a break below 38.70 would signal weakness in T.
