The T volume oscillator 1 was warning of weakness at the previous high, and is still negative and this is indicating profit-taking under the hood and perhaps a lack of conviction or participation in the current advance. However further strength and a rise upwards through the shallower cash build up line would activate another oscillator Buy Signal and suggest that the current T structure is larger or that a new structure is in development.
1 The T volume oscillator is an indication of Buying Power within the market as a whole

The monthly chart continues to look excessive but the market continues higher beyond the projection for a major high from the Mega T structure, which may have completed in September 2020.
The current large structures project highs for August and/or for September 2021 and possibly longer into April 2022.
…
2021 continues with a range that has become increasingly expansive since the move above 2500. With price above 4300 we can only assume that this will continue. This is a Brave New World.
