The first trading week of 2018 closed out with a subtly new wrinkle on an even more stretched rubberband.<\/p>\n<p>The S&#038;P 500 reached well above its upper-Bollinger Band (BB) and a 0.7% gain. AT40, the percentage of stocks trading above their respective 40-day moving averages (DMAs), nudged just slightly higher. However, AT40 closed at a fresh 2 1\/2 month high. At 67.5%, AT40 is now within striking distance of overbought and transitioned the churn into a sloth-like uptrend. The volatility index, the VIX, was even more interesting: it scooted higher only to fade to a flat close on the day. It is hard to imagine the S&#038;P 500 pushing even higher from here without AT40 breaking into overbought territory to support an overstretched technical condition. Moreover, with the VIX holding the line just above all-time lows, some kind of snapback of the rubberband seems imminent. The S&#038;P 500 should only be able to stretch further in the coming week with the VIX managing a breakdown below its all-time low (at which point I would feel compelled to double down on my hedge of call options on ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures (UVXY)).<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42092\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42092\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/180105_SP500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/180105_SP500.jpg\" alt=\"The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) surged to a fresh all-time high and stretched well above its upper-Bollinger Band (BB).\" width=\"550\" height=\"435\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42092\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The S&#038;P 500 (SPY) surged to a fresh all-time high and stretched well above its upper-Bollinger Band (BB).<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_42093\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42093\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/180105_VIX.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/180105_VIX.jpg\" alt=\"The volatility index, the VIX, held its ground just above its all-time low.\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42093\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The volatility index, the VIX, held its ground just above its all-time low.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to MOST of the usual suspects, tech stocks sprinted higher similarly to the S&#038;P 500.
