But there is a sign of the top. I am paying attention to the ratio of S&P500($SPX) to UST30Y price ($USB). Let's take a look at the weekly chart.

Anyways, it's only 25weeks out of 2034 weeks that $USB:$SPX was less than current level. If this ratio reverts to the mean, and I believe so, there would be at least two scenarios.
A: Stocks are sold and bonds are bought.
B: Stocks keep getting bought and bonds are bought as well.
The scenario A is called pullback or collection, depending the deepness of the sell-off. I believe many of market participants are expecting this course.
The second scenario is called.... I don't know, but I've seen this picture before when I lived in Japan back in late 80's. I remember everything was bought....stocks, JGB, and Yen.
This is monthly chart of Nikkei back in 1980's. You will see that how the market could stay overbought by those over 70 RSIs.
I'm not saying this happens in US following years, but I would like to say "don't underestimate the power of excess liquidity".
