New 2024 highs have been registered this week for $SPX. The all-time highs for $SPX were set in January 2022. The intraday high was 4818, and the closing high was 4796. Most recently, $SPX has not bettered either of those numbers, but it's not far away. A two-day close above 4800 would be enough confirmation that the next leg of the bull market is ready to take place.

Heavy selling hit the market this week. Part of that was due to the fact that traders didn't want to sell in 2023, because of the taxes that would be owed. So, they sold in 2024, deferring the tax bill for a year. But there is more to the story than that, as overbought conditions had built up to the point where sell signals are now appearing in numerous places although not in the implied volatility ($VIX) complex.

The broad market is not giving up on the monster rally that occurred in November. While there has been resistance at the 2023 highs, there has not been much of a pullback from there. That is the 4600 level roughly, and if it is decisively broken through on the upside, the next target will be the all-time highs at 4800.
