Breather

Stocks are still in an uptrend that started in mid-February. While this seven-week rally has been strong, over the longer term stocks are where they were 16 months ago. See chart below.

Market breadth has begun to level off, stocks are butted up against resistance, and commodities have started to roll over. The trend of stocks is up; however, they are at a point where they may need a breather.
