Today is officially three months before US election. Stocks have a good record, being right 87% of the time since Great Depression, of predicting who is going to win in November.

If stocks are up, the incumbent party wins. |If stocks are down, the incumbent party tends to lose.

In summary, the market seems a bit tired, but SP continues to hold above support. So the bulls remain in charge unless SP breaks down below support at 3130.

In summary, the market is deciding where to go from here to make a strong directional move. Markets move violently to their place, and calmly in place. For now that is a trading range market until one camp or the other can get enough momentum going to engineer a breakout.

The market is still bullish unless the support is broken.

Market still sidways, but don't complain:

“Sister, there are people who went to sleep all over the world last night, poor and rich and white and black, but they will never wake again. Sister, those who expected to rise did not, their beds became their cooling boards, and their blankets became their winding sheets. And those dead folks would give anything, anything at all for just five minutes of this... So you watch yourself about complaining, Sister. What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.”
