About market, Wednesday could be the day when S&P 500 makes a new 52 wk high. TAPE has been strong as we close near high of the day back to back. CMF is @ its highest point in several months as new allocation to stocks takes hold. It is important to have a sell target as we go into few days of higher highs.

About market, TAPE was displaying resiliency today. Despite AAPL being down, market held up well. Today Jimmy the Cramer lashed out @ AAPL for its current malaise of nothing "ahead of the curve". Indices needs to move decisively above current resistance & stay above for several days. Based on Today's TAPE, indices may just do that.

Too many bulls ?

Many technical indicators are flashing sell signal ?

Here is few to keep in mind :

-CMF 0.223..highest level since September 2012

-RSI 64.59...near high since September 2012

-Bulls 51.1% Bears 23.4%..Bulls @ highest level in a long time....

-S&P 500 @ 1472.05.....near high point of several years.....

-VIX @ 13.36...2 multi year low..denotes extreme bullishness

-Euphoria is @ extremely high level as everybody is talking bullish...Bears voice is non-existent...

It is important to recognize these extreme bullish readings, & factor in your decision making & or comfort level.

What happens @ these extreme levels on a historical basis, That we may overshoot & then fall hard for weeks.

IF we look @ S&P 500, it may make a nominal high & go to around 1500 area & then retreat & drift lower..

It is extremely critical to take advantage of high prices & book gains.....

Some of you may be looking @ outsize gains in your portfolio, cashing @ this stage is prudent.......

As you can tell, i am extremely nervous about TAPE, it is too good currently.

I may reduce my exposure this week to extremely low level & may wait for better pricing.

It is good to be wrong near highs, as nobody has the talent to lock highest prices.

Good luck in your OWN strategy.

About market, S&P 500 is all set to make new 52 wk high, this may trigger more short covering & more higher highs.TAPE is strong & many stocks are getting ready to make new 52 wk highs, this list includes CF, TCK, AMZN to name a few. It is important to ride this strength for maximum gains. I will keep an eye on RSI when it hits 75 in S&P 500 or individual stocks, that is perfect time to book profit.
