The S&P 500 Makes It Six In A Row

The S&P 500 gained 0.71% this week, closing Friday at 6,840.20. The index has now risen for three consecutive weeks, and Friday’s close marks a new all-time high on a weekly basis. The S&P 500 finished October on Friday, gaining 2.27% and closing at a fresh all-time high monthly close. The index has now risen for six consecutive months, with each of the last five setting a new all-time high monthly close. To say we’ve gone streaking is an understatement - the S&P 500 is on fire.

Stocks Rise For The 5th Month In A Row

The S&P 500 gained 1.09% this week with Friday's close at 6,715.79. Friday's close is a new all-time high weekly close. The S&P 500 finished the month of September on Tuesday this week, closing at 6,688.46, a gain of 3.53% for the month. September's monthly close is a new all-time high monthly close and marks a five-month winning streak for the S&P 500. The primary trend across all time frames is bullish, so the path of least resistance remains to the upside.

Stocks Continue To Defy Gravity

The technical picture for the S&P 500 remains cloudy with limited visibility. Since turning the calendar to August, the index has been mostly crawling to the upside. The S&P 500 is higher by 2.24% since July's monthly close at 6,339.39. This too is a tale of two sides of the coin. This sets the stage for an escalator up and elevator down scenario, but there's no reason to panic!

Stocks Limp Into August; In Need Of A Breather?

The S&P 500 fell -2.36% this week with Friday's close at 6,238.01. The index opened Thursday's session at a new all-time high at 6,427.02, but that's where the S&P 500 decided to slam on the brakes. While the forecast for the S&P 500's returns over the coming year look bright, the forecast for the index's returns in August look a bit murky.

"Sell In May And Go Away"? Not in 2025!

The S&P 500 closed the month of May on Friday recording a gain of 6.15%. All things considered, we view the price action in May as very constructive and another sign of "accumulation". We believe that a retest of our all-time highs in the ~6,100s is the main event in the on-deck circle!

Stocks Post Historic Monthly Reversal, What's Next?

The S&P 500 gained 2.92% this week with Friday's close at 5,686.67. Finally, a two-week winning streak, and not just any two-week winning streak either! The index has gained a whopping 7.65% the last two weeks, the strongest two-week advance since the week ending October 28, 2022 - the last time the S&P 500 left a polarizing bottom on the chart.
