Back in February, the Profit Radar Report published the two most likely S&P 500 forward projections (one of them shown below, the other one was very similar), and stated that: “Both scenarios will eventually lead to new all-time highs.”

Educated, but poor, millennials are transforming neighbourhoods in several Rust Belt states like Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin in search for affordable communities. Since the end of the American high (the late 1960s), the Rust Belt had experienced decades of deindustrialization and a mass exodus of residents.

As the chart below shows, the S&P 500 is also near a pretty significant resistance cluster. The confluence of trend channels and the January all-time high almost make it seem like it’s ‘now or never’ for bears, but is it? Now or Never?
The July 25 S&P 500 update discussed the tug of war between a massively bullish pattern and bearish divergences. Despite the bearish divergences, the update concluded that: “Further gains are possible while above 2,830 and 2,800, but bearish divergences...
