Pullback or Consolidation Likely to Continue in Stocks

Click on Chart to Enlarge

The market has run up extremely fast over the last month. If you look at the numbers I showed on the bear market rallies in the last 2 bear markets you see that, and on the chart above the blue line shows a typical bull market rally/leg up. The market has greatly exceeded that rate of gain initially, so even if stocks continue to trend up, consolidation is very likely.
