Just another day in market land

With the equity bears remaining powerless, it was just another day for the bulls, with the sp'500 breaking a new cycle high of 2053. The VIX remains bizarrely low, having imploded from the 30s to the 13s. As things are, another 1-1.5% equity upside looks probable.

Summary

Suffice to add, the monthly chart has a pretty powerful bullish candle. How we close the month will be important.

No doubt, a very large part of the ongoing equity rally is due to the recovery in oil.

WTIC oil, weekly2

Note the upper weekly bollinger has now cooled to $44.40. The 43/44s look viable in the near term. Sustained action >$45 looks difficult, as the over-supply issue remains ENTIRELY unresolved.
