Examining the Evidence for a Pullback

So, are we in a pullback yet?

Let’s look at some evidence.

Chart of the Day

Today’s chart shows how, since late 2022, the Volatility Index (VIX) has generally been inversely correlated with the S&P 500.

As you can see, the VIX recently spiked – hitting a 5-month high.

This also coincided with April’s weaker market performance, with last week being the worst week in the markets since October 2023.

And yet – the S&P 500 is only about 2.5% down from its all-time high, and the Nasdaq is down even less, about 2%.

What could this all mean? Read the Insight of the Day to find out.

The highest likelihood is that any pullback will be relatively shallow – providing us with solid entry opportunities for the next leg higher.

But, we need to be even more discerning when it comes to entering trades during these periods.

That’s why tomorrow at 11 a.m. Eastern…
