Top Trading Links: Stock Market Bulls Turn Up The Heat

After a brief respite that lead many to believe a pullback was in the works, the S&P 500 Index gained 1.7 percent last week. This puts this index at 2080 and within just 2.5 percent of its all-time highs.

Stocks are definitely getting ahead of themselves (i.e. overbought) but that doesn’t mean that the engine under the hood hasn’t received some enhancements over the past 2 months.

In February, market breadth was dismal. On Wednesday, the NYSE Advance-Decline line made new highs (see Dana Lyons post below). Yup, we went from end of the world, to an outsized breadth expansion.

But don’t let that lull you to sleep.  Earnings are here and the market could see some volatility through the end of April.
