Something fishy?

Bonds have broken out 10Y<4.00% and stocks are rallying.
I am sitting on my hands waiting.
I continue to believe that the equity markets are in denial.

Supposedly the reduced likelihood of a rate rise is deemed as a good sign. Perhaps, but not in a deflationary backdrop

This stock rally has been on decreasing volume but is still advancing.
We have reached a stage where we could very easily get a blow-off in stocks, so good luck to anyone catching a top.
This stock rally (as all rallies do for us bears) has gone on longer than I would have imagined, but that is why I choose to plan and not to predict.
The cyclical and transports are underperforming for now so I guess not everyone believes that good times are around the corner.

My IT oscillators for the NDX are o/bt, but for the $SPX/$OEX they are only midrange (and rising) indicating that any down-cycle (should one exists) is not necessarily close i.t.o. time.
LT trends are 'more bearish' for the Naz, so that is where my sights are geared for now - a turn down on the WEEKLY chart, a bear-cross on the MACD-histo and we should be on our way down, IMO.
