Current SP500 bull market vs. history by Grant Hawkridge on X
The S&P 500 is up 72.6% over 678 trading days since the 2022 low, below the average bull market gain of 153.7% over 1,145 days. We’re now in year 3, a phase that’s historically flat and choppy. This bull isn’t young, but it’s not stretched either. History still favors more upside… just not in a straight line.
