S&P 500 Index - The Center of the World's Financial Solar System

The S&P 500 index (SPY and derivatives) rose 1.25% the week of July 13th. The US banks Q2 results were above analyst expectations and encouraging data from a candidate study for a COVID-19 vaccine launched optimism into the market. The two best performing sectors this week were the Industrials and Materials Sectors. 

After completing a W configuration in the start of June, the SPY is showing a certain fatigue in its uprtrend and finished the week at the same level as last month. The VIX is showing more optimism for the market with a potential configuration of a donward rectangular triangle if it capable of falling lower than 22.5%.
