The bad boys of the 2008 financial crisis have come back strong over the last 5 years, it most cases bank stocks have recovered half of there loses. But like all energy, it does exhaust it self.
The stock market has had a great 5 year run from 2009 lows, many many charts are at upper channel lines and major resistance levels. Below is just another example.
Controlled distribution has been going on in the markets, however not so controlled in the tech stocks (FB,TSLA,AMZN,PCLN,NFLX). As always the market needs a catalyst to send it lower. In a market that has much to do with central banks, a negative catalyst would be rising interest rates that occurs due to market forces and not central bank wishes. A hint, keep an eye on Japanese bonds in the next month or two.
