And a market very much in a place of mixed signals.

The weekly chart continues to show a bullish market within the context of a long term trajectory having found support at the long term rising angle.
However, the oscillator is weakening again, hinting at the possibility of further exploration of the downside, and a break below the recent lows would quickly target the May low at 2750 and possibly the more important support levels below that.

The Mega T structure projects another important high for October, and the oscillator remains strong supporting the possibility of new highs and perhaps ultimately a break out above that resistance line in due course.
