Analysis
Market sentiment is very bullish. Market breadth continues to slope upward. The S&P 500 is in a rising wedge pattern and could reach its peak at 2060.
The prognosis is that the market likes the announcement from the FED and continues its bullish trend. Coupled with stocks buyback, the market has been doing very well for the last 5 weeks. Stocks buyback is due to end and also there is a end of quarter ETF rebalancing and that will increase the volatility.
Volumetric buying pressure remains very strong. The upward momentum remains but is extended. This market is likely to pullback within the next few days.
