The winds of fury will lead to paths of glory
Take it in your stride my son, the world is yours"

A gap down well below the Sell Signal level (4300) on 19 July making short entry difficult and high risk is quickly reversed with an S/T Buy Signal on 20 July at 4331 (unconfirmed at the close) and a continuation higher on 21 July above 4332 making a second S/T Buy Signal at 4340.

A fast move higher, making new all time highs with an impressive and very rapid move from low to new high. Some relative weakness in the oscillators but it's really difficult to argue with the price action.

Save the image to your desktop to view a larger version

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 now looks like it completed with the declines in February 2020 and 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 4400 we can only assume that this will continue. This is a Brave New World and we should trade accordingly.

Regardless of whether the market can continue higher or whether significant lows are ahead of us, the simplicity of the proprietary price based S/T Signalling System will continue to keep us on the correct side of the market, with price currently back on a Buy Signal since moving above 4332-40 on 21 July 2021.
