Whilst the main market crawls upward...lets take a quick look at the bigger picture
Sp'weekly, 2yr
'You shall NOT pass!'
Note the 10MA of 1386, which will be the primary zone of resistance, and it is right in the target zone that I keep highlighting on the 60min cycle. Also the daily 10MA is 1382 (and rolling over)..so the bulls face SEVERE resistance in the 1380/90 zone.
I do not see the market as able to break above this, and if that is the case next week, then the big 1340 level will break..then 1300..and a move to probably at least 1270/50 - and that would likely occur before the end of the month. Also note how the 1270 level is a pretty key level (its also near the daily 200 day MA) - and right now, even the lower bollinger band is also at that level. Whether we can break into the 1100s...that would seem only possible in June/July.
*Arguably, 'if' we can break into the 1240s, at ANY point, that almost guarentees a further move to at least 1150..and probably 1100/25 (the lower channel line on the monthly cycle).

With the VIX falling today..the index option Puts sure are getting cheap again. By the end of May...those same puts may be somewhat more pricey ;)
Its something to consider. In the meantime..I'm just watching.
