Despite the strength of the bullishness in stocks today, US equities have told us that they "self-identify as bears"...
Yeah that just happened...

The March FOMC saw the same "buy everything" idiocy... that did not end well for stocks...
[9]
As liquidity disappeared and traders focused on tomorrow's Fed, sparking a total meltup in stocks (NOT driven by Greece - the comments were actually bad, NOT driven by US housing data - we were already well on our way by them, and NOT driven by any great rotation)...
[10]
On the day, Trannies remained red as the rest all grouped together...again seeming to stall after EU Close...
[11]
Cash indices managed to get green... because why wouldn't you be a net buyer of stocks ahead of FOMC and Grexit uncertainty...but the mahicns took profits in the last few minutes leaving us red for the week... Trannies refuse to play along from the start
[12]
Healthcare is dragging the rest higher on the back of M&A hope...
[13]

[16]
Treasury yields all tumbled today...
[17]
As The Dollar strengthened (led by EUR weakness)...notice a pattern here?
[18]
Crude managed gains as copper, gold, and silver dropped...
[19]

[20]
