After gapping sharply higher on the NVDA earnings (February 22nd), $SPX slowed down a little but did not really pull back strongly. In fact, the Index made another new closing high yesterday. There is still a large gap on the chart (circled in Figure 1 on the upper right), from the post-NVDA reaction, and it would probably be a healthy thing if that gap were closed (a move down to 4983 would accomplish that).

On Tuesday (February 13th), there was a negative CPI report, and the market fell sharply in two heavy waves of selling. But late in the day, buyers came in and they have been buying the market for the entire rest of the week. So, this seems very similar to the sharp, one-day selloff of late January. It eventually amounted to nothing.

The major indices are making new all-time highs with regularity. This includes $SPX, of course (as well as $NDX and the Dow), so we are still maintaining our "core" bullish position. There are some nagging worries -- such as the failure of small-caps ($RUT; IWM) to keep pace -- but until those worries become actual sell signals, they won't deter us from our bullish outlook.
