$SPY Momentum and Trend

Market internals show that since Feb 16th. the market has been advancing on fumes:
















It is entirely possible, that in a very strong uptrend, the market can continue grinding higher, while market breadth gets through a declining cycle, but those are rare events.

$SPY Breadth and Trend

Market breadth has now reached overbought levels (3600) and it would be interesting to see if the SP500 can continue to advance, in anticipation of tax cuts and stimulus, or will follow the natural market breadth ebb and flow, and start a sideways/down phase:
