Charts for Mar 8, 2024

Another surge to a new record high for SPX.
Participation (see bullish% chart) is also improving a bit. This market has continued to defy the gravity of multiple bearish divergences, weak participation, very stretched valuations, and overbought readings in many indicators. But sometimes buying keeps begetting more buying, and there is no way to tell when that will end. This will definitely be a rally for the history books and is unprecedented by several measures. More than 1 or 2 serious down days is all the downside we can get so far this year. Intuition would suggest that this MUST end. But there is also a possibility that the rally will accelerate even more and create a blow-off peak first. Check out the Nasdaq in the late 1990s if you were not around at that time.
