Dips got bought and bounces sold - the market is likely to stay in a tight range before the big earnings reports and the Fed talking.............................. 

Longer term the market is likely on a top, and bulls need to take profit quickly .....................

 

BTW,  the negative correction between SPX and VIX has been broken indicating this bull run is likely ending anytime soon just pending for a trigger ....................... 

 

Another overarching factor is the drying up of the liquidity at this juncture resulting in only rotational moves among sectors .......................

This from the "FED FAVORITE JOURNALIST" - BULLISH. But APPLE'S EARNINGS & GUIDANCE may be very bearish.

The Fed is set to retire its tightening bias at its policy meeting this week.

Officials have a first-class probleminflation fell faster than they expectedbut it poses a conundrum nevertheless: How soon and fast do you dial back restrictive policy?

Go away for a bit and boom up.   Really shows how senseless this market is because you think they would worry just a little that the States may respond in force on Iran overnight but then again that makes common sense lol!!  Couldn't believe the price pop in call options on the hope for higher highs lol!!  Average short 4925 and 17605.....

I couldn't resist.  I sold some call credit spread on the NDX near the close, they expire this week (Wed & Fri).  Premium is still very high, especially after an UP day like today.  I'm safe as long as NDX closes below 17,875 on Wed 1/31 and below 18,100 on Fri 2/2.  

I've been entering these every Friday and closing every Monday.  Today's offered a unique opportunity so I did the unusual thing by entering a credit spread on a Monday.
