When will this uptrend end?

- Start date
If the market had instead dropped 10% since July, I could give you 5 reasons why. Everything is clear in hindsight.
A strange truth but many new traders seem more afraid of trends than any other TA feature.
New traders always seek out more and more information. When they reach a trend, they find there is probably less written and printed on trends than any other chart pattern or indicator or strategy. In combination, seeking information and not finding it is a sure way for a new trader to become rattled.
Meantime, old traders are long.

The reason for the uptrend is the FOMC is pumping money back into the markets...per Trumps request. The Central Bank is now captive to political hacks.
Sorry to say the only person who answered correctly was Red Duke.
Never Trumper? Now, I'm not to say that QE Infinity wouldn't have started under a Republican president (probably would have), but fair's fair - until very recently the Fed has been raising rates ever since Trump was elected. Despite that and very likely due to Trump Policy (read: cutting regulation), the economy continues higher and is longest (or second-most) bull market in history (fact check me on that). That "hockey stick" doesn't look so big in this picture...
The money sitting on the sidelines is increasing, when that money gets tired of watching the market go up and throws in the towell, so to speak, and comes off the sidelines and back into the market, the market will fall. It might pay to keep your eye on money market funds and Treasury Bills.
This crooked FOMC is adding this much liquidity as the stock indexes make all time highs is mind boggling.
Exactly, and there is no way it can end well. But we all should remember old saying, "market can remain irrational much longer than trader can remain solvent"
