Investors: Was Last Month’s Doji Star A Warning Sign?

Did the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) create a “Doji Star” topping pattern last month? Possible! Doji Star patterns (which look like a + sign on a chart) can take place at key reversal points (i.e. highs & lows).

The chart below highlights that a Monthly Dow Jones Doji Star took place in October of 2007, which ended up marking the high that year. Did the Dow Jones create a similar monthly Doji Star topping pattern last month? It will take some time to prove this pattern out, since this is a monthly chart, but either way it seems to have been a caution sign.
