Situation Awareness: Bullish. The market has shifted dramatically from cautious to aggressive breakout as a two-week ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran sends oil tumbling and equities soaring. Trade mode: aggressive breakout. This morning’s sharp rally is driven by reduced geopolitical tensions and the subsequent collapse in oil prices, offsetting previous inflation concerns. 37.93% of stocks trade above their 40-day SMA, and the 4% Bull/Bear gauge shows data unavailable bulls vs. data unavailable bears. The 5-day trend (data unavailable).
