The capitulation section of a bear market happens when merchants throw within the towel as draw back momentum and promoting strain speed up. Often, the capitulation section happens after an prolonged decline, and this section is step one to a backside. The chart under reveals SPY with Bollinger Bands (200,3), %B (200,3) and S&P 500 P.c Above 200-day SMA ($SPXA200R).
