Chart of the Day
$SPX has now had 3 corrections since the 2009 low. There is now a clear break higher. Maybe the market reverses, but that is clearly the lower probability scenario. Get on board and map out appropriate stops. pic.twitter.com/O79o8Teyls

Today’s Chart of the Day was shared on Twitter by Jim Denholm (@denholm_jim). It’s a weekly candlestick chart of the S&P 500 since the financial crisis. Some folks argue that this bull market has lasted over a decade and that it’s now getting long in the tooth. The problem with that notion is that markets can correct in two ways; through price, meaning a sharp decline, or through time. Jim points out that since 2009, the S&P 500 has experienced three corrections through time, where price went sideways for over 20 months. Also, two of those corrections we’re just a few basis points shy of being considered a bear market. The drawdown in 2011 was 19.39%, and the drawdown at the end of last year was 19.78%. One could argue that we’re actually emerging from a cyclical bear market within a secular bull market.

Weekly $SPX update: a mild pulback so far this week, as stocks seem to already be in holiday mode. Relative strength vs equal weight index $SPXEW in strong uptrend, suggesting this is still a market-cap bull. Have a great Thanksgiving! ? pic.twitter.com/aqxsJMCscG

November 22, 1963 has some market parallels to 2019. The S&P 500 made a major cyclical low in 1962 and was in a bullish cyclical trend the day JFK died; that trend was in the context of a secular bullish trend (1950-1973). The strong uptrend resumed after the assassination. pic.twitter.com/v5V71GzoLk

$GOLD and bonds are still very correlated and this year has been very different than prior years: Gold has spent all year above its 200dma for the first time since 2011 and $TLT for the first time since 2014 and future equities weakness should only accelerate these trend changes pic.twitter.com/KDxfi4zjLI
