The cheap money addicted US market won't like a faster rate hike in April and might reply with a sell-off ahead of the next Fed meeting in April. Given also that the RSI value is in overbought territory at value 70 (see red alert) and the chance of a reversal is growing now that most feel confident again and complacency of bulls grows (see green consecutive SMA 14 up days). Adding to this potential pullback came the horrible terror attacks in Brussels today.

There is sufficient momentum evidenced by the economic data to justify a further step at one of the coming meetings, possibly as early as the meeting scheduled for end of April,” Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Dennis Lockhart said Monday in Savannah, Georgia.

So far the more bullish projection starts to be the real live scenario which is actually playing out. This week started the bounce I had projected two months ago. Question is if this bounce will fade again or lead to a true breakout confirming the bottom area of February 2016.
Chinese markets started to decline again and oil and tech showed weakness again, all in recent days, so I remain skeptic on the long-term future of this rally. It could be short-term dead cat bounce inside a larger dead cat bounce with the Brexit and Grexit and Fed hike news cycle growing importance in June.
