It's fun to argue both sides of a case, and I do this with EW counts and the fundamentals, as a sanity check.
So I'll argue the bull case (since the bear case is pretty obvious now):
1. USA real estate and stocks are the least worst option for money fleeing the economies of Europe, Japan, China, Sri Lanka et.al. and the US dollar is getting a bit expensive as an alternative
2. The market has been operating on a "max frustration" mode for the past 6 months, whereby normal trend following techniques just get you shaken out. And CTAs are now short......
3. Now that QT is beginning to double in rate next week, it's "buy the newz" time
4. Now that the "pivot" narrative has been obliterated, a new one will emerge next week as the tape rebounds from extreme oversold
5. War is great for stocks and commodities, and it's getting real out there with energy costs skyrocketing in Europe. The citizens are about to revolt, and their masters are going to take them to war on a larger scale than just Ukraine to keep them occupied
6. Vax deaths are ramping up and while that's bad for insurance companies, it could have some form or reflexive relief on fiscal budgets who would otherwise have to pay out pensions
7. The market is a machine of inflicting maximum pain at the end of the week, especially at opex events, and we are on a long three day reset.....
