Sure..1597 or 1600, not a big difference.

Nothing is certain but given the last 3 years brought a pullback with material losses in May, a pullback seems plausible.

You might find this interesting. I have been crunching historical $SPX data in different ways recently. Across two dimensions (number of years with a gain and average percentage gain) I have ranked various periods of the year. Much of this is expected (trade in may go away, etc) but you might find it interesting. Below is a stack ranking (worst to best) of the months of the year:

Month Number
5 (May - worst month of the year)
6
8
10
11
9
1
4
7
2
3
12 (December - best month of the year)

Summary, May sucks. I now have the same for quarters and weeks.
