Feels like the market is coiled up like a spring

Bulls take a position, get trapped; bears jump in and get trapped as well. A coil.
Stops are placed. As they should.
If the coil breaks out, half the crowd will quickly be wrong and bail.

The market will eventually pick a way, discover price. Up down, cant do sideways forever.

Crypto is rising, cpi is slowing. gasoline is cheaper.
Cnn sentiment index is at 'greed".
Percentage of stocks above moving averages is elevated. Vix is in downtrend and low end of range.
Valuation is still above historical 15 PE and shiller PE is near 29.
Many stocks are at 20 plus PEs, especially large caps, despite analyst show slower growth.

old trader sayings:
"from failed moves come fast moves"
"stocks move in the direction that hurts the most people"
"stocks always go up"
"buy high and sell higher"
