It is just now approaching overhead supply. Four indexes at different stages.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The internal breadth indicators tell me there&#8217;s more upside to go before being at an extreme level, but the S&amp;P is on a 6-day winning streak and is due for a day off. An off day or two would set the stage for the next mini leg up which officially put the market in overbought territory.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Here&#8217;s the SPX daily chart. 1150 is the top of the resistance zone and it&#8217;s the top Bollinger Band on the weekly chart. It&#8217;s my target for now.
