Another morning of Yellen awaits

Mr Market saw a somewhat choppy day, and there remains a significant disparity between the Dow/SP/Trans, and the R2K/Nasdaq indexes. The sp'500 weekly chart is back to outright bullish, and new index highs look viable within the near term.

Summary

Yesterday closed with a blue candle...and with today's closing gain..we're back to a weekly green candle. Considering the price action..and the lack of upside kick/power in the VIX, I remain broadly bullish.

Underlying MACD (green bar histogram) is set to go positive cycle in late May, and this nonsense could indeed rally into June.

To be clear though, I am STILL seeking a multi-month rollover this summer. I am just trying to be patient, and not get nailed on the short side until this market really does rollover..and break down hard.

Looking ahead

Aside from the usual jobless claims data, Thursday will be largely about the Yellen, who is going to be giving testimony to the US senate across the morning.

*next sig' QE-pomo is not until Friday
