All in favor of SPX staying stuck in this 1295-1310 range for the next couple months, raise you hand and say "I".
Was tempted to sell some put spreads today but decided not to....... the market seemed "unhealthy" today...... am guessing we'll see more of this.
I do think your on to something. This am I was looking at those overbought/oversold oscillators and since Nov we have definitely been in a nice bull trending move...oscillators just barely below the neutral range a few times. It does seem rational to think that even though overall we are in a "bull" market, we should at some point test bottom's we haven't seen in awhile.
