Market is likely to rally until October and top at $300.21, likely related to the midterm elections generating volatility by then.
Options traders are net bearish, currently, so I think we have ample room to go up despite concerns about the trade war (most likely overrated) and rates rising.
As @timwest pointed out many times, in this case, rates will rise but overall, investing in US equities is attractive so likely the demand for liquidity to finance new projects, etc. thanks to the new tax law will be a cause of rates going higher as well, but not a reason to turn bearish on equities when the economy is set to grow.
IF this weekly trend pans out, which seems likely, we may have a good way to time the top, and by then, we should see traders turn bullish on stocks once more, like it happened at the top in February.
Cheers,
Ivan Labrie.

On track.

#VIX spiking here, if it goes a bit higher we may get a short term buy signal in #SPY. Since sentiment is negative, and underlying fundamentals remain long term bullish, bearish signals might only cause a sideways drift and not a full fledged bearish run
Trade closed manually:
I'd reccomend to exit longs.
