Friday’s close of 7,718.60 left the S&P 500 Index (^SPX) roughly 1% below its record of 7,796 and still comfortably inside its bullish uptrend. The market consolidation this past week certainly weighs on investor sentiment, but on the surface, nothing is broken, observes Lance Roberts, editor of the Bull Bear Report.
