1/ Given the pattern we’ve been seeing since the S&P 500 peaked in early Jan 2022, this rally most likely has more room to go. A move over 70 on the Bullish Percent Index, followed by a move back below 70, triggers a sell signal on this indicator. $SPX $SPY

@MacroAlf A black swan event, the Sept 2008 Lehman bankruptcy, induced a global credit crunch and pushed the global economy into a recession. It was quite a different set of circumstances, rather than just being the Fed Funds rate that pushed the economy into recession.
