Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Frank Cappelleri (@FrankCappelleri). It’s a 15-minute bar chart of the S&P 500 this week. Frank points out that October has been a wild ride so far. Between Monday and Tuesday, the S&P 500 jumped about +5.8%, marking its best two-day gain in more than two years. However, we rolled over on Thursday and gave back a majority of those gains. Despite the sour ending, we still closed higher on the week by about +1.5% and we closed above the 200-week moving average after breaking it last Friday. Clearly, October is living up to its reputation as a volatile month for the S&P 500.

$SPY Strength beginning of the week has been undermined by reality in the Jobs Report. Until we see a higher high, like a decent close over 380, all bullish bets are off in this camp. pic.twitter.com/Za1eqVOFQu

Another crazy stat. $SPY has been down at least 84 bps on each of the last four Thursdays and Fridays. In $SPY's history since 1993, we've seen four consecutive declines on Thursdays and Fridays just two other times: 8/20/2010 and 9/4/1998. pic.twitter.com/zdvbhi8jMa
