The opinions expressed below are my own

More new highs. Today was a demonstration of momentum. The S&P opened flat, started climbing, kept climbing. Why? There’s no obvious reason. Intraday momentum has been noticeable for the past couple years and it looks like today was just another example.

The S&P 500 is now up for 8 consecutive sessions.

I wonder how long it can continue.

Tomorrow

we learn the nonfarm payroll numbers (80k est vs 156k prior).

I don’t think the actual number will surprise the market. The number may surprise but I don’t think the market’s reaction will be large.

We shall see.

There’s nothing else to say. Today didn’t usher in anything new from yesterday. We are trending. It’s a yearly trend, a monthly trend, a daily trend, a minute trend.

It’ll end when it ends. Good luck predicting the turn.

See you

tomorrow
