The trend is up; every little dip is getting bought. The market feels like it&#8217;s intent on moving up regardless of what&#8217;s put in it&#8217;s path. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">There are very few econ numbers released this week, and earnings season doesn&#8217;t begin for a couple more weeks. I&#8217;m not sure if a lack of news is good or bad, but it is what it is. The market will have to do its own heavy lifting this week because it won&#8217;t get help from elsewhere. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Here&#8217;s the 10-min SPX. The overall trend is up, but a void space remains unfilled. It may pull on the market.
