US equity indexes see a further micro wave to the upside, with the sp +10pts @ 1982.. a mere 9pts shy of the 1991 historic high. The upward channel from Aug'7, offers the 1995/2000 zone for Wed' afternoon.

Summary
So...a few more points higher...and we're now getting damn close to breaking new highs.

Equity bears have little hope until at least tomorrow's FOMC minutes (2pm). A more viable 'downside break' appears possible with Yellen on Friday morning.
Problem is of course... the next down wave might be starting from 2000... rather than 1980.
Right now...1950/45 zone seems the very best downside case... post Yellen...early next week.
On ANY basis..this is no market to be shorting.
*I am content on the sidelines...and would only consider a long in the 1960/50 zone... but that seems unlikely until next week...if at all.

Notable strength: coal miners, BTU +3.0%

3.26pm... it remains tedious. Micro cycles offer 1980/78... but..its all noise...and nothing for the bears to get interested in.
back at the close....
