I expect maybe a 5% correction, alot of sideways chop, then on to another bull leg higher. We are basically tracing out a duplicate of 1995-6. I think anyone looking for 25%+ downside will not get it.

Agreed, so long as VXO is trading in low range, no big moves. Slow grind up thru tax day with minor twitches.

You know I have this feeling that people are getting the most comfortable and ready to buy any decline while the yields and growth is projecting the worst outlook of the past 5 yrs. We had 3 less than 10% corrections for 3-4 yrs now, what are the chances that the next correction will be another shallow one? I think the next correction will hit and exceed the 10% barrier this time, anyway... - kisa

They need $ to buy the decline... friday's COT shows once again that futures positions are shooting up near record highs (after reducing recently).

What I found bullish was that when the futures positions came off from heavily long positions, price did not react. This may have encouraged them to load up again, as long positions are getting back close to where it was.. but oddly enough, price again did not move.

It seems that money is making a round robin here.. just rotating between buyers and sellers... this chart may illustrate my point a bit more.
