Two weeks ago we observed that the composite weekly cycle is flatlining, and that the SP500 should bottom out soon. That proved to be the case, and the index is currently racing towards the top of the channel.

From a sentiment point of view, bullishness is still prevailing, after dipping shortly below 50% a couple of weeks ago.
