20% of S&P 500 stocks above the 50 day moving average also occurred in December 2024, 2 months before a major top. Out of the 2 cases, the current case is more similar to December 2024 than to March 2026 because of the minimal decline in SPX price.

One month later, the S&P 500 was higher in 30 of 36 historical cases (83%), with an average gain of 2.7%.
Not a long-term bullish signal!

Only 25.4% of S&P 500 stocks are currently above their 50-day moving average.
That is unusually weak short-term breadth beneath an index still near all-time highs.

The S&P 500 has historically performed well over both short and long horizons after RSP/XLK fell at least 4.5% in five trading days.
Recent signals have clustered near all-time highs, even with a 21-trading-day cooldown.

"Breadth looks unusual. The S&P 500 is within 1% of its all-time high, yet fewer than 31% of its stocks are above their 50-day SMA. Since late 2006, this has occurred on only two prior trading days, both in December 2024."

Yesterday, Meta posted its 11th-biggest daily gain: +11.34%.
Similar jumps saw positive returns in 9/10 cases after both 2 and 6 months, and 10/10 after 12 months.
April 2022 was the only loser at both 2 and 6 months.

A good rule of thumb in bull markets:
Don't fade bullish signals.
By definition, they should work.
Is it guaranteed? Of course not. Nothing is.
