Quite a chorus out there today about the S&P being super stretched above its 200-day average. Indeed it is, with some mixed results shorter-term. Mostly positive 3-12 months later with only a single loss of any significance.

The Nasdaq 100 missed an up day by *this much* on November 23 otherwise it would join QQQ in trying to put in its 10th consecutive positive session today. As it stands, a streak of 9 straight up days is pretty impressive, and rare when also kissing a 52-week high.

On Friday, the S&P 500, Dow Industrials, Nasdaq Composite, and Russell 2000 - the 'big four' - all closed at an all-time high for the 1st time in at least a year. That has preceded some short-term trouble as the gains got digested.

The dollar closed below its weekly lower Bollinger Band and at a 6-month low. Historically, that's pretty stretched.
The buck has rebounded from these conditions several times, but more often than not, it just kept sinking.
It wasn't a particularly consistent sign for stocks.
Or even gold.
