Summary

*note the MACD (blue bar histogram) cycle on the sp' daily chart, which is in the process of turning positive... typically it will climb for another 3-5 days.
--

Any weekly close in the sp'2090s.. or higher, will make for a significant net weekly gain... and it bodes for broad upside across April.

Notable weakness, USD, -1.1% @ 98.10.. and that is certainly helping all US $ asset classes. If a mid-term retrace to DXY 90/87 zone... then it bodes for higher equities.... to at least May/June.
