The dollar is up. Oil and copper are down. Gold and silver are up. Bonds are up.
Last week several indexes moved to all-time highs. Some indicators fully support the price action; others are doing well but lagging a little.
For example, the cumulative AD line, which typically trends down for a few weeks before a minor correction plays out, or trends down for a few months before a major pullback takes place, hit a new high last week. This indicator fully supports the price action and does not hint at trouble brewing.

On the other hand, despite the market being at new highs, the percentage of SPX stocks above their 200-day moving averages is lower today that it was during most of the spring and summer. It’s not in bad shape; it’s just not as high as you’d expect given how well the market has done and the fact that the S&P is 6.4% above its own 200-day.

Overall I like the market. Anything goes in the near term, but for now dips remain buyable. More after the open.

Dentist matey, have you seen my friend CHAV?

What do I do? Reached target of 15 :whistling
 
chav
there is a horizontal rez at 1515
its pump or dump at 1515
supp is at 1500 and 1490
on 60 min candle you can see a pivot area at 1480-1490
very tight stop is just under 1500
or put stop under that consolidation...that consolidation goes down to 1440
that consolidation should provide decent supp area
