📊 MARKET UPDATE | S&P 500 (SPX) — June 5, 2026 Chart: 2-Day Timeframe | Volatility Stop Indicator Active | 10 & 30 day Moving Averages 🔢 EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO TODAY On June 5, 2025, the S&P 500 closed at 5,939.29. Today, June 5, 2026, it's trading at 7,584.32. That's a gain of 1,645 points — or exactly +27.70% in 12 months. Let that land. Nearly 28% in one year. If you had simply put $10,000 into an index fund and done nothing — no charts, no indicators, no stress — you'd be sitting on a 27.70% return or $2700 gain. That's the baseline. That's the power of just being in the market. 📈 READING THE CHART This is a 2-day SPX chart with slow (30 day) and fast (10 day) moving average indicators, and the Volatility Stop (VS) indicator applied. The blue dots signal a bullish trending market — a strong, sustained upward move in price. The red dots signal the opposite: bearish or weakening trend conditions. Here's the story the chart tells over the past 12 months: → From mid-2025 into late 2025, the Volatility Stop was printing blue dots as price steadily climbed from below 5,600 toward the 6,000–6,100 range. Trend confirmed: bullish. → Late 2025 into early 2026, we started seeing the dots shift to red as price stalled and began rolling over. That was the warning signal. The market then sold off sharply — dropping all the way to around 6,350 by April 2026. A painful but necessary shakeout. → Then the recovery. Price bounced hard from those April lows, and crucially — the Volatility Stop flipped back to blue at the beginning of April. That was the signal to re-enter the market. The trend resumed. And it resumed aggressively. → Today, price sits at 7,584, trading well above both moving averages on the chart (the short-term yellow MA and the longer-term purple MA), both of which are now curling upward — confirming the bullish structure. --- 🔍 KEY LEVELS TO WATCH → 7,490 — immediate support (previous resistance, now flipped) → 7,377 — short-term MA support zone (first line of defence on any pullback)
