Advantage View:Evaluating This Bull Market

We are seeing bullish sentiment extremes,and this shows that the bull market is unsustainable,according to Walter Zimmerman,Chief Technical Analyst at United ICAP.We are likley to see the highs for the year this month.Be wary of any sudden moves to the downside.
Everyone is long,waiting for the next rally.Everyone is already in the market.All the mergers are also a sign.It's not just individuals that are bullish.Historically,market tops have been marked by big financial mergers such as the recently announced Deutsche Boerse-NYSE/Euronext or the CME-NYMEX tie-ups.

The advanced merger talks between Deutsche Boerse,owner of the Frankfurt stock exchange,and NYSE/Euronext,have been turning heads on a number of fronts.The proposal,in which DB would acquire a controlling 60% stake in NYSE,would allow for eliminating redundancies in their cost base,pointed out Ed Ditmire of Macquarie Group.They would be in the best possible position to move in tomorrow's businesses,and in a pivotal position to capitalize.
