The upmove during the week regressed most Indicators to their mean, even Gold commercials shorted less, although still high, as gold makes a 7-week low.
My favorite Bull/Bear survey - the AAII individual investor poll- skewed to the Bull (complacent) side, as the two week totals showed 35% to 40 to 47 last week; Bears slid from 32% to 20, down to 17.
