SPX printed more All-Time-Highs.... so all is well in the Mid-Western Front? Reminds us of Pink Floyd's song: [We're all] Comfortably Numb, from their "The Wall" album, published in 1979.
Canaries [in the Coal Mine] Chart for DJ TRAN & RUT Indices
200-Day MA DJ TRAN = 7651 or 2% below DJ TRAN (max observed in last 5 yrs = 20.2%, min = -20.3%)

DJ Transports (proxy for economic conditions 6 to 9 months hence) chart pattern is in a divergence with SPX, acting as a warning, at least for now.
Russell 2000 Small Caps (proxy for RISK ON/OFF) has been pretty much flat, much like SPX. RISK-ON is back but it's very mild right now.

Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX = 11.55 is above its -1 sigma (remember it’s the VIX’s vol pattern (its sigma channels) that matters, and not the level of VIX itself (this is per Dr. Robert Whaley, a great mentor and the inventor of original VIX, now called VXO). VIX usually peaks around a test of its +4 sigma).
VIX had another quiet week. OVX (vol index for crude) got crushed.

Both charts are now near NEUTRAL here........
