Dow Theory, baby!
The [Dow} theory was created by Charles Dow in the early 20th century (after whom the two indexes above are named after) and it examines the relationship between the transports and industrial averages.

Confirmation of a trend higher sends a “buy” signal in the market; one of a trend lower sends a “sell” signal in the market. – CNBC
