Most data slightly weaker than previous - Delta MSI (stocks on BUYs) had a nice jump up (Bullish), as are most breadth and sentiment indicators recently. VIX broke down below 10 - a good time to buy calls, as we're not out of the Danger Zone yet. Week turned negative toward the end, but still closed to new weekly highs (except NAS).
