Summary
Baring some bizarre comments from the Bernanke tomorrow morning such as 'the financial system will collapse next week', this market looks set to broadly continue the rally into next week. The target for this fast and strong wave'2 is sp'1350/60 - and considering the coming events later this June, I'm looking for this wave to end by next Friday June'15.
More later...dealing with the VIX, and those daily index cycles.
