This is one of the most resilient stock market in history:
The S&P 500 has been trading above its 200-day moving average for 247 straight sessions, the third-longest streak in 8 years. The previous 2 records were posted in 2016-2018 and 2020-2021 which lasted for 430 and 400 trading days, respectively. Over the last 12 months, the S&P 500 is now up over 40%, marking the 4th best 12-month performance this century. There have been only three other occurrences since 2000 when the index rallied at least 39% year-over-year: 2004, 2010, and 2021. To put this into perspective, the S&P 500's average annual return since 1957 has been ~10%. Source: The Kobeissi Letter, The Daily Shot
