Since Tuesday morningââ,¬â"¢s low print at 138.10, the SPY has climbed to within a few ticks of retesting its prior high print at 141.10 (November 22). The structure of the upmove from 138.10 to 141 has a bullish look to it, but also the look of completion, which suggests to me that the SPY should stall around here (141) and embark on a day or two of pullback into the 139 area prior to staging another rally effort to new high ground projected into the 141.50 target zone next. Only a decline that breaks 138.10 will inflict serious damage to the near-term chart structure.
