Waiting for the next market catalyst

Mid-week market update: What should investors make of the market reaction to the trade war drama? The S&P 500 remains range-bound. The bulls will argue that the index is on the verge of an upside breakout from a bull flag (dotted lines), which is a bullish continuation pattern. The bears will argue that momentum is negative, as evidenced by the recycle of the stochastic from overbought to neutral (top panel) and the percentage of S&P 500 above their 20 dma. One key test of market strength is whether the price gap (shown in grey) at just below 5900 is filled in the near future. 
As for me, I am in wait and see mode for the next market catalyst.
