Most of the retail market is short - The SPX & Nasdaq are at all time highs - and leadership is with fewer and participants. Stocks roll over the dollar goes up. 200 point correction on the SPX is healthy, lots of gaps to fill. means the US Dollar goes up. They need the shorts to fuel the rise - they have buy someones inventory.

Everyone is back to work next week - expect a shake up.
