The S&P 500 is Setting Up for a Fat-Pitch

The most bullish aspect of the recent equity market environment has been relatively tame sentiment. Only now after a 100+ S&P point rally within just 2 weeks is sentiment beginning to turn optimistic again:

If the S&P prints fresh all-time highs over the coming days the Fear & Greed Index is likely to reach the highest levels of greed since mid-2014:
