You seem to forget to update the table at the end. Aren’t all 3 benchmarks up above the 10 DMA, therefore “short-term” trend “up”. This was strong resistance today. There have been other instances during this volatile period where the table was in error too. Perhaps a quick check before you post is in order. Thanks for all you do for us.
