Now that we're approaching the 1st open Gap on the S&P as well as the "Oscar Carboni Special" indicator (100 Day EMA lol) I'm getting ready to throw my other 50% into stocks.
There is a scary open gap way, way down from there, I don't think our economic situation has deteriorated enough to take us down there (yet). We'll see what the future brings.
Could be some wild intraday swings if we plunge quickly another half percent to fill that gap, (or 1% to reach the 100 EMA) then see a sharp upward bounce from there.
Fasten your seatbelts...see chart below.

You think maybe we'll double top in May - June and then head for that 'scary' gap?
50% S, 50% C 06 Mar, was 100% G; 80% S 20% C COB 08 Jan '24; 100% G COB 14 Nov; was 100% C COB 31 Oct (Boo!); was 100% G COB 12 Oct; was 50% C, 50% S COB 22 Jun; Life is good!

You know, after you said this, I just had to recalculate and re-map.
Talk about hitting a bulls-eye with the EMA and gap fill.
A quick 0.5% dip at the start of Fri trading should fill the gap and touch Oscar's "Happy Line"...and trigger big PM reversal. We are overdue....down 4 days in a row and 7 of 8.
Hopefully Oscar (and me) are jumping with joy by COB Friday.

Well, had to wait one more day to start jumping for joy, but jumping for joy I am, as a good plan came to fruition.
Another couple of things that may help continue the uptrend.
1) Massive 95 Billion Military Aid package to Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan passed its most difficult hurdle, getting an actual vote in the House. It should breeze thru the Senate and get signed immediately by the President.
Regardless of where one stands politically on the issue, the economic impact will be huge for the US (and equities) as 90% of that money stays here in the US and goes to build new weapons, from artillery shells, to HIMARS, ATACMS, Armored vehicles, taniks etc...
So you can think of it as an 80-86 Billion dollar instant stimulus for the US economy, and that should help negate any Recession threat, minimal as it was even before this.
2) Number of Americans getting a tax refund estimated to be up this year to 40% (from 36% last year). So nearly half of Americans will suddenly have hundreds of dollars (or more) to spend. This is more shorter term but still counts as the amount is in the Billions.
Otherwise the gap fill (and Oscars 'Proprietary" 86 day MA) acted like solid barriers, where the falling market turned and surged, like a scolded dog.
