Can Stocks Break 4300?

Stocks keep edging higher, breaking new relative highs albeit gradually. We broked from 4272 to 4293. The difference between daily highs is decreasing, suggesting a retracmenet could be near. If so, 4214, or 4188 are good candidates for support. If we are able to rally again today, then 4306 is the next target. This would also be the first technical level in the 4300 handle. The market rally seems to be hinging on expectations of a more dovish Fed outlook, especially after the 50bps rate hike expected in September. Housing and retail sales data will help provide a clearer picture this week.
