Odds for a March rate hike are low, which helps US stocks. The US Dollar is weak, helping oil, which helps 'US oil' companies and thereby helps the 'S&P 500'. Q1 2017 earnings are mixed, but overall good enough to support the stock market going higher.
My original target from two months ago is 2350-2400 and I stay with that target:
Entry: 2275-2285
Stop loss: 2260
Target: 2350-2400
Risk: 15-25 points
Reward: 65-125 point
(2285-2350, 2275-2400)

Nota
The S&P 500 rallied as high as 2319 on Friday. The super bullish headlines are starting to appear (take a look at the Marketwatch news article linked below). The risk of a painful pullback lower is now increasing.S&P 500 Futures Rise to New Record as Trump Rally Continues

Nota
My two month old S&P 500 target of 2350 was reached both on Wednesday and on Thursday this week (February 15-16, 2017).I had sell signals going into the Thursday spot open and they were confirmed with a drop down below 2340 and thereby broke the recent rally streak. Due to the Thursday decline I have now even more sell signals going into Friday spot open. But I don't have enough sell signals yet on higher time-frames to give a strong sell warning. Therefore I expect this is a dip inside the rally and not the final end peak of the rally. If the S&P 500 declines very hard on Friday I might change that opinion though.
Nota
My three month old S&P 500 target of 2367 was reached several times since the end of last week (February 23-27, 2017). Which means the S&P 500 could be at a major peak.If the current price area is the peak, then a downtrend starting next weeks would confirm my seven month old forecast that a larger decline starts in March 2017, which could last for several months:
