Due to improving accumulation/buying behavior in the markets this week, my dashboard has swung to 'Optimistic' with a +3 rating. As it did at the top of the last 2 bear-market rallies before those Fed/market makers fights went the other way - so be careful.

Of note:

Nasdaq new highs / lows swung to bullish at the close Friday
The 26w/52 week MA indicators went bullish on S&P & small caps (IWM) - what some called 'the fourth Bearcatcher' back in the day
Bullish 10D/50D crossovers happened in the S&P and small caps (IWM)
short term indicators daily MACD and PAMA 5D swung to bullish.

My personal interpretation: the market makers bought the bet that the Fed is about to slow the rate of interest rate increases soon. This post does not in anyway constitute advice.
PS if you read this far, Tom Bowley at EarningsBeats generally says avoid this upcoming week of the month for buys due to pre-options manipulation reasons. FWIW.
