DEJA VIEW

Under glassy eyes, the markets keep inching forward to new highs - strong breadth, but continued weak Volume. Even the complacent CBOE put/call ratio is at mid-range -50-, while the VIX slips into the 10 handle. Not since 2007 has it held at that range, just before the SPX got cut in half.

The I.I. (Investors Intelligence) Bulls are at 62.2% - the second highest EVER. NY new highs are almost ten to one.
