Well, I guess if one looks at a chart of the S&P for the last 25 years.... claiming "the trend remains up" is a pretty safe statement. Let me ask however b1.... if we take out 2700, 2650, 2600, 2550 ....does the trend still "remain up" in your eyes? Don't get me wrong... I mean no disrespect here... but again I go back to timeframes. Without those the constant mantra of "the trend remains up" is remarkably akin to something from the Wizard of Oz himself.
Technically long term trend is still up unless we take out the trendline that was challenged in dec 2018
