Chart of the Day
๐ Todayโs Chart of the Day was shared by Alfonso Depablos (@AlfCharts).
- Itโs official!โฆ The S&P 500 printed its first all-time high in two years today.
- Why do we care about all-time highs? Once price enters uncharted territory, thereโs virtually no price memory or overhead supply to prevent it from trending higher.
- The drawdown lasted 511 trading days, falling as much as -25%. This was the longest drawdown since the Great Financial Crisis and the 6th longest since 1950. Itโs often said that trends correct through either time or price, but this was a healthy dose of both.
The takeaway: The S&P 500 broke out to record highs for the first time in two years today. The long-term uptrend is ready to resume after correcting through both time (511 days), and price (-25%). Itโs emerging from a two-year base, but bulls must defend the prior highs at 4,800 to avoid a failed breakout.

meanwhile, you got folks out there completely ignoring this stair-step higher, trying to pretend it's not happening, and hoping it randomly goes away. But that's just not how trends work. pic.twitter.com/DcrpQ5LBpT
