Summary

Yes, the Ukraine is a very valid concern, but the US market simply doesn't much care about it.
-
For now, the broader weekly/monthly trends remain to the upside, although yes...underlying price momentum is STILL weakening, and the equity bears do look set for a sig' wave lower..just not..quite.....yet.

Just a few more weeks...or so.
