βFor first time in 2023 we are currently being asked by multiple clients if we think the S&P 500 is now on track to clock an ATH before year end. I am going with a yes on this,β Goldman Sachsβ John Flood wrote in a note Wednesday.

I'm Living short getting squeezed because most shorts don't know how to squeeze back...
What happens when the dollar keeps getting destroyed and bonds get sold off ?
After-hours SPX futures are down by ~4.0 points!
IF the Dow goes red, SPY and QQQ will follow...
I'm deploying more hedged puts tomorrow if it's up again. All chart frames are getting ridiculous. Put/Call, Bullish Percent Index. It's all been extreme for a while, but now it's just silly.
