the S&P 500. Our current read: Bullish.
🟢
Bullish
Positives: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); 50-day MA is rising (+0.93% over 10 days). Currently 21.6% off its 52-week high. Score: +4/7.
SW is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($40.25) and 200-day ($41.12) moving averages. An RSI of 69.5 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -4.2% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 28.5%). The current 21.6% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
