There is still a potential for upside momentum ahead, considering the hugely oversold nature of the indicators such as Bullish Per Cent, now only at 36; surveys still far from complacent - as are put buying and shorting. Corporate insider selling is at a new low of 4.8%, with nearly 1/2 the buyers in Finance stocks.
