A reading of over 60% Bears is quite rare--there have only been 5 times we've seen that in the last almost 16 years. Before the last Bear market, one has to look back to the low of the Financial Crisis. In other words, things in the market are typically quite ugly when we get more than 60% bears. Yet the S&P is just 6 days and a couple hundred points off the highs. This quick shift to extreme Bearishness is indicative of a lack of complacency, and I view that as generally Bullish.

In the aftermath of hot inflation and high interest rates, many Americans have been stretched so financially thin that they’ve borrowed up to the limit on a credit card, new data from Bankrate reveals. 

20 percent have maxed out a card and another 17 percent who came close.

I'll be bullish at SPX 5400.
