The Tightest Start to the Year in History 📈 The Chart Report
Chart of the Day
🏆 Today's Chart of the Day was shared by Macro Charts.
The S&P 500 has begun the year trading within its tightest range in history.
Over the past few months, the index has remained confined to roughly a 4% window, quietly building pressure for the next major directional move.
While the index itself hasn’t gone far, there's been plenty of action beneath the surface, with several sectors posting historic starts to the year.
The Takeaway: The S&P 500 is locked in an extremely tight range, setting the stage for a significant move once this compression resolves.
