Bear squeeze could push S&P higher

Our Advisors Sentiment Survey has plunged to the same bearish extreme as at the 2002 bear-market bottom. Risk is now to the upside and a bear squeeze may be imminent. If the index rallies, 1423 would be a logical target, as this is where lateral and downtrend resistance, the 200-day exponential moving average and a 50 per cent retracement of the five-month correction converge.
