Stock Market: “V” Bottom Market Has Fangs
A Month ago we had utter turmoil in the Market and now we are into New High Territory. Be careful as this market has Fangs!

The move this month has been remarkably strong coming off a “V” bottom, and now the rally is 16 Trading days long, so a bit long in the tooth:
In the last two years, there have been only five occasions that the rally has been higher than 16 days, so we must look for a correction soon:
If the pullback in the S&P 1500 has %B stay above 0.7, the Market will remain healthy, otherwise watch out below:

…And a month later we are into a very Strong move with %B above 0.5 around 90% for days:
The Jobs Market Report added to the enthusiasm and kept the Market up with yet another Month of >200,000 jobs, which is encouraging:
…And here is the long term view from 2011 to now:
Enjoy and Best Regards,
