Now that we have firmly stayed above 1400 for four days on a closing basis, maybe its time to pause.
This week is option expiry, which may create more volatility than normal.
Sentiment has swung back to "major comfort level with this market"...this always put me in cautious mode.
CMF is stuck in lower end @ 0.124 vs 0.30 entire July.
RSI is @ 64.78...70 is a major resistance
Advance decline ratio is quite narrow
New 52 wk highs on the low end
There seems to be a resistance in 1422 area also which is 16 points away.
The point i am trying to make, that in short term market is extremely vulnerable to pullback.
Risk / Reward is NOT good in the short term.
On a long term basis, 1500 is what we are looking @.
In coming days, i may be looking @ reducing my exposure "substantially"
This is a trading call which i am making, for long term investors, market remains a "very good place to be"......
What you do is based on your OWN interpretation of this market.
Last week was my "best week in two years"......
Tendency is to protect any gains which happens quickly.
We are waiting for "news" from China & ECB....IF that happens, we may reach the high end of trading range in a hurry.....means...sell the news.......

About market, TAPE remains healthy & digesting its recent gains. Very seldom we see TAPE this stable in an UP trending mode. Many traders are too short sighted to project " what it could be". I remain firmly bullish.

About market, Staying bullish & having overweight exposure has paid off for many traders. Pullbacks are not to be afraid of. Many are missing this rally or are underweight, will buy on dips. This rally has the feel of something BIG.
