The S&P 500 is gaining more than 9% this year, recovering from last year’s 18% drop. Analysts at Bespoke Investment Group recently highlighted a technical indicator that suggests the S&P 500 should be continuing this growth trend in the coming year.
The 200-day moving average for the S&P 500 hit its lowest level last March at 3,931.05, and since then it has moved 1% above that level. Bespoke has said that this indicator usually reflects a shift in the longer-term trend of the market. Despite some potential obstacles like a recession and more rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, the 200-DMA could lead to some large-cap US stocks gaining 18.2% from its low over a period of a year.
