    Posted by sandiegosam on 9th of Apr 2026 at 09:09 am

    The SPY has opened above both its 50 and 200 DMA’s while closing below both the day prior just three other times,
    Those three period saw IMMEDIATE declines of -13%, -16%, and -13% over the next few weeks.

    Case 1 April 2001 – 13% decline
    Case 2 July 2002 -16% decline
    Case 3 May 2008 -13% decline

    What do you notice about these dates?
    All occurred within conspicuous, undeniable Bear Markets.

    correct and we are not in a bear market

    again stats like that with a few data points take with a grain of salt, not a enough data points. 

    plus wave structure, the structure the market was in is what matters.

    otherside.... Rare S&P 500 Gap Higher

    otherside....

    Rare S&P 500 Gap Higher on Wednesday Suggests a Binary Outcome.  

    BTIG Research noted that using $SPYsince 2003, there have been five prior times when the intraday low was at least 1.5% above the prior day's intraday high.

    In other words, a 'true gap' of at least 1.5%. Of those five prior occurrences, 4 of the 5 gaps remain unfilled today. The 2009 event filled the gap 7 days later, then rallied meaningfully from there. Forward returns were higher every time looking out 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks later. Median 4- and 8-week returns + 6.09% and +9.1%, respectively.
