Note: Nvidia did the trick. The S&P exploded higher yesterday, regaining the lower boundary of its very short term uptrend and pushing through the upper boundary of its short term uptrend. If it remains above it through the close on Monday, the challenge will be successful. The good news is that there is no visible resistance between it and the upper boundary of its intermediate term uptrend (~6700). The bad news is that it created a huge gap up open, which needs to be filled.

 

            All-time highs are historically bullish.
