SPX Ends 5-Week Run, Rallies Getting Smaller

The five-week rally for the SPX that we just concluded with a down week on Thursday's close was the largest since the climb that ended at the beginning of November. Looking back, it seems the duration of rallies are growing shorter - albeit modestly. I won't write off the possibility of a new record high over the next month; but I do believe that medium-term, we will see deeper deleveraging than what we've experienced so far.
