So the stock market's strength today is bullish.   But the bull market will earn no extra credit if the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) is able to also close above 11,000.  That's because that level enjoys no particular technical significance. The Dow is several hundred points above its 50-day moving average, for example, and nearly a thousand points above its 200-day moving average. Both of these are widely followed technical hurdles. 

The same goes for the Dow Theory, perhaps the longest-lived market timing system in widespread use today. It nearly a month ago confirmed that we were in a bull market, when the Dow closed above its mid-January high. – MarketWatch
