I really disagree with you about the impact of Friday. It is like getting smacked in the head with a lead pipe if you had been looking up for higher highs on the RUT.
The RUT printed a huge engulfing stick on Friday. That stick says screw new highs in a nutshell.
I don't know how anyone can look at what transpired in a positive manner. This is a seasonally terrible period of the year with a once in 19-year transition hanging over it (the Fed). We've got a yield curve inversion, and 4-year cycle lows to deal with. Friday the market was basically saying, "Let's get it on."
