I think that we are in yet another B wave from an e-wave perspective. I do not think that this is the beginning of a Wave 3 up. The move has been too labored with two red candles in 6 days since the last bottom. Yes, they are small candles but......two red candles in the early stages of a Wave 3 up?......I doubt it. From a pure price perspective, I could see today as a top. But, I think it goes higher with my next target date as June 1st (for a high). Remember, it is "permissible" for a new local high (or low) in a B Wave. If I am right, and admittedly that looks like a big "if", then we are on the cusp of yet another Big C wave down. But, you just gotta love it. Players who wouldn't buy a thing 40-50 points ago are suddenly falling all over themselves to buy an overvalued market near it's highs in a sluggish economy.
sluggish is an understatement. withdrawals are at record highs. not saying the fed banks cannot keep buying the index etfs to hide it. but reality has to set in sometime soon.

Exhibit A: Stock funds around the world bled another $9.2 billion in assets in the week ended May 25, according to tracking firm EPFR. That raised total outflows to more than $100 billion for 2016 overall.
Exhibit B: A report from Lipper clocked outflows of $4.8 billion from U.S.-based equity funds in the most recent week. That boosted total U.S. outflows to $76.4 billion. Moreover, stock funds have NEVER seen so many assets walk out the door as they have in the last 22 weeks.
Exhibit C: It doesn’t seem to matter much whether stocks are up or down. Investors are yanking their cash regardless. Domestic equity mutual funds bled $23.8 billion in assets in April and $9.9 billion in assets in March, according to the Investment Company Institute. Those were both strong months for the S&P 500.
