"... Looking a little deeper into how the latest all-time high in SPY has become:

  1. VOLUME: yesterday’s Total US Equity Market Volume (including dark pool) crashed -26% vs. its 1yr avg
  2. VOLATILITY: remained like a ball-under water (sub 14-15 on front month), sucking everyone back to VIX 10-11
  3. PRICE: SPY has only moved > +/- 0.5% in 5 of the last 31 trading days (will day 27 of complacency be today?)"
