Another week to wait

The main US equity indexes continue to melt higher. There is simply no sign of the near term bullish trend ending. However, from a cycle perspective, we're arguably 'likely' to see a turn to the downside beginning next week. The only issue is how low do we go?

Summary

It does look like we have another quiet trading week ahead. There is no 'major' econ-data due,

I have to believe bears are going to have to wait at least until next week, after this Fridays opex. Bears should also - as ever, keep in mind the next big POMO days, which are this Thursday and Friday.

So, I won't be meddling in any index shorts - or VIX long, until at least next week. There just doesn't seem to be any point.


How low in the next cycle?

I think bears will at least see the sp'1470s - that's a good 80/90pts lower. However, I just can't see anything <1425/00 under any scenario.

Indeed, after any correction, I'm concerned that we'll see a renewed melt higher across the summer, into the sp'1700s..even 1800s.

*In the meantime, I hold long overnight, via SLV and USO, both look okay for further upside for at least 3-5 days.
