Thomas R. DeMark is an American technical analyst and creator of the DeMARK Indicators, a set of technical analysis indicators used to identify potential price reversals.[1] He is the founder and CEO of DeMARK Analytics, LLC.[2]
Career
DeMark has worked as a technical analyst for over fifty years, advising investors such as Steven A. Cohen, Paul Tudor Jones, and David Goel, according to Bloomberg and The Washington Post.[1][3] In 2020, he received the CMT Association Annual Award for lifetime contributions to technical analysis, presented in 2023 during the association's 50th-anniversary event.[4]
DeMARK Indicators
The DeMARK Indicators are technical analysis tools that identify potential price reversals across markets like stocks, commodities, and forex.[5] Notable indicators include TD Sequential, TD Combo, TD Line, and TD Range Expansion Index (REI). These tools are accessible to traders and investors through platforms such as Bloomberg Terminal and Refinitiv.[1] DeMark's indicators incorporate Fibonacci-based patterns to predict market reversals, as highlighted in a 2009 New Yorker article describing his approach to identifying trend exhaustion points.[6] A 2008 book, DeMark Indicators by Jason Perl, describes their application and received a silver medal in the 2009 Axiom Business Book Awards for business literature.[7]
Academic validation
A 2017 study published in the Journal of Investment Strategies evaluated DeMARK Indicators across 21 commodity futures markets and found their signals statistically significant in anticipating short-term price movements.[8]
