Today double down $13.75B in Fed reanimation; Several weeks ago: "a complex near term topping process?"

Traders Almanac sez May-Oct over the last 50 years, net zero gain. Semis getting a boost from misguided upgrades. SP500 up from 1512 to 1522.

A choppy sideways pennant waving pattern with large herks & jerks is emerging and looking like Twin Peaks.

SP500 upside resistance 1541 must be breeched for more upside action, downside 1485 is support.
