Market breadth bottomed-out in the middle of the week, as expected, and the SPX bounced off the projected target low. The upside target for this week is 2875, and the index will remain on track to achieve this target as long as it trades above the CIT Cloud and the 1 x 1 angle:

The CIT Waves indicator at the bottom gives additional clues about the state of the market. First, there was a positive divergence at the end of June, when the downswing exceeded the duration of the preceding upswing but didn’t break below the lows. Second, the current upswing needs to exceed 6 bars and/or make a new high to confirm that the July uptrend remains uninterrupted.

As mentioned above, market breadth is rising from oversold levels and, at the current rate, has 2-3 days before getting overbought again:
