If we were to ask any investor what a "perfect market" would look like, it would probably be described as a perpetual environment that has little or no change, going in one direction, steadily to the upside. Is this possible?
While the Nasdaq and Dow did top-off two weeks ago, we must maintain a high degree of respect to the mighty S&P 500, as its trends across multiple time horizons are still dominated solidly by the bulls.
Since the October 2002 low point, investors have been enjoying quite a persistent up-trending market that has barely corrected. In fact, during this time, the deepest correction phase occurred in the summer of this year as the market lost only 8% of its value, according to our main benchmark S&P 500.
As we continue to follow-up on the market's progression during these critical levels of both price and time, we observe an increasing degree of complexity in price behavior over the last several trading days.
