The major stock indexes continue to put the finishing touches to the bull market that began in March of '09. The weakening internal action suggests the ultimate peak is likely to land very close to current levels, with the third week of April - next week - seeing the highest clustering of peaks when in high risk - blow-off - phases, such as we are in.

The most intriguing technical aspect of the active money manager sentiment and economic indicator chart below is the dotted black line that the S&P500 is currently challenging.

If you recall from my 2013 forecast issue I had the Dow Industrials rising to touch their upper trend-line drawn across the 2000 and 2007 peaks near the 16,000 level. The dotted black line in the chart below is the exact same upper trend-line of a potential expanding triangle near the S&P 1600 level.

Time is fast running out on my call for the Dow Industrial 16,000 touch that provides the terminal reversal, and the bulls will probably have to content themselves with a touch of S&P 1600 that provides the terminal reversal springboard.

A breakout above the NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQ) 70.4 level might open the door to a resumption of the Dow 16,000 run, though the on-going failure of the Qs to breakout suggests the top is in, or soon to be, as the S&P500 rally dies at that dotted black line.
