Most important factor: will the FED surrender to the extreme bullish market sentiment?
No, but they risk a soft to medium LANDING if the resume rate hikes. They will not, they will try to scare the markets but will fail.

However, extreme bullishness & unstable MIDEAST, GEOPOLITICAL SITUATION can quicjle reverse this rally.

My FF is pullback or basing, rally, another 3 to 5% sharp reversal down, then SANTA CLAUS RALLY.

This assumes no major geopolitical events that can affect the market, AND THE FED does mot hike rates.

Good chart here from CALLUM:

"The grandaddy of thrusts with a perfect record
Key points:

The granddaddy of breadth thrusts has triggered on the NYSE
Since 1950, the signal has had a perfect track record of gains across most sectors
Before 1950, there were some failures in the 1930s
The granddaddy of thrusts has triggered

Everyone (well, "everyone") will be talking about thrusts from the past week. These have become a more and more popular topic over the past ten years, leading knee-jerk contrarians to determine that they are no longer effective because what everyone knows isn't worth knowing.

Fair enough, but we've seen limited evidence that their efficacy has diminished. I say "limited" and not "no" because various thrusts did give false signals during 2022. Whether that's because it's just one of those things - nothing works 100% of the time - or because the market structure has changed is impossible to know. All we know is that if they continue to give more false signals than they have in the past, then we have reason to believe something has changed, whatever that something is, and we should weigh them less aggressively.

The gold standard of breadth thrusts has become the Zweigh Breadth Thrust from well-respected late analyst and money manager Martin Zweig. A 10-day exponential moving average of the NYSE Advance-Decline figure must cycle from below 40% to above 61.5% within ten sessions.

Tomorrow, we'll see how these Thrusts have been spread out among sectors and smaller stocks, which has preceded compelling bullish environments over the past 70 years.

Across all stocks traded on the NYSE, the traditional Zweig Breadth Thrust just triggered after several very near misses since the 2021 peak."

YARDENI: .. the Bond Vigilantes and their concerns have retreated, clearing the way for the S&P 500 to rise to our targets of 4600 by year-end 2023 and 5400 by year-end 2024.

"Fed focus on inflation, retail sales data
However, the Fed focus this week was likely as much on the October consumer price inflation report on Tuesday and the retail sales data on Wednesday for guidance. Prices are expected to have remained sticky last month, while high street sales slowed.

Key developments that should provide more direction to U.S. markets later on Monday:

October Feberal Budget, New York Fed's Oct inflation expectations survey
Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook speaks; Bank of England policymaker Catherine Mann speaks
U.S. corporate earnings: Tyson Foods, Henry Schein
U.S. Treasury auctions 3-, 6-month bills

"The recent rally in T-Bond prices has pulled Investment Grade bonds up in sympathy, resulting in a lot of days with many more Advances than Declines. And that condition has brought about an overbought reading for this RAMO.

When the NYSE's McClellan A-D Oscillator gets up to an overbought level, that can sometimes be a signal of strong initiation of a new uptrend, and a promise of more buying to come. But it does not seem to work that way for this McClellan Oscillator for corporate bonds. Here, the message of a high reading is more uniformly one of an overbought condition that needs to be addressed by a pause or a pullback.

Here is where I traditionally remind readers that overbought is a "condition", and not a "signal". An overbought or oversold condition does not have to matter right away just because we notice it. But they do tend to matter eventually. The implication now is that corporate bonds and T-Bonds should pull back in price."

Stock market is currently under selling pressure after a Street manipulator warning on the USA credit outlook. They are likely shorting stocks in some way

Its interesting whenever the stock market has gained some substantial amount they issue such credit warnings.
