The forecast foray to the upside occurred in a timely manner yesterday, with the market closing at the key “ceiling” level of 2061 after a brief overshoot. Surprise rallies happen when a significant “wall of worry” is in place, as it is now.
This is a new profile from Mid-December, showing a volume profile point of control (VPPOC) at 2051, which should act as a new floor for any retracement. The new upside target is 2088.
