We would need to see ~5500 again to break the trend and momentum.
It’s always possible, of course, that the start of any trend means we are mathematically close to breaking it.
Volatility falling brings, if not new investors, at least increased sizing from the current investors.
Over the last few days, my trend-following model has reallocated funds to the S&P 500.
Of the 71 futures contracts in the model, it’s ranked 18th. It’s no surprise that ES and NQ were ranked 1st and 2nd before mid-July.
Does this still count or not?
Daily
66% of the last 1,949 trading days have been at this level. This doesn’t mean they were all up days.
Hourly
Here are the hourly prices and levels overlaid with the daily levels.

I asked ChatGPT what type of investor Jason Voorhees would be, and here’s what it came up with:
Emotionless Decision Making
Jason is immune to fear and anxiety, making him a perfect long-term investor. While others panic during market crashes, Jason remains calm, sticking to his strategy and riding out volatility without flinching.
Silent but Deadly Investments
Jason invests quietly, avoiding flashy trends and attention. His approach is steady while staying unnoticed in the market.
Diversification
Jason understands the importance of spreading his investments. While he favors real estate and blue-chip stocks, he also invests in bonds, international markets, and precious metals, ensuring his wealth grows steadily from multiple sources.
I guess immortality certainly helps with “time in the market.”
