Mid-week market update: There is a time for an aggressive posture in positioning and there is a time for patience. This is a time for investors to be patient. In the aftermath of the rally off the October bottom, the S&P 500 is consolidating its gains after breaking out through resistance at 4600 to form a cup and handle breakout. However, it was rejected at all-time high resistance and it's now working off an overbought condition, as evidenced by the 5-week RSI. The VVIX to VIX ratio, which has led past tactical peaks in stock prices, peaked out just before the January highs, but the lack of a negative divergence in this ratio is constructive inasmuch as this is not a signal of a major top. I interpret current conditions as a consolidation within an uptrend. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB620i7nNy4N4Dg0_oyF0GRe_kp9toXVPC5JsF7f1FnXVQsjfoeJ9JZgUNfyq8bsWzp14huDo9Xl__jcM7QH0Ch_gvOGCF_7oSiyL1DolVS6oBbMc68CwmtvGZTqfNst11SQzfRhrbVsfc91vAu_d67_k3PA2QdOUXhWaINuKUkXPh_xhpXS4QN5ZJs1_H/w400-h303/SPX%20weekly.png)
