History has been made again in stocks:
Over 68% of the S&P 500 stocks have closed higher for 5 consecutive days, matching all previous records since 1928. If the same occurrence happens on Tuesday, it will mark a new record streak. In other words, the market's breadth has significantly improved. The last 2 times when such a streak occurred were in January and June 2019 which resulted in more upside in stocks.
