Dollar index still waving about 85, crude bounced from $50 to $60, gold rising $640 to $670 as bonds rebound lowering rate 4bps 10 yr 4.78. VIX range bound 10 to 11, volatility still low.

Again, new mulit year and all time highs this week. SP500 seems headed for 1520, RUT for 830, does it have the gas after a nice fall back from 1451 to 1437 today.

Perhaps this gets the juices flowing for the next surge to 1465? A fall below 1422 would signify a market change.
