Opinion
Historically, when the S&P 500 gains 6%+ in a single day, markets have tended to continue higher in the short term, with a 2.8% average return over the next month and a 67% chance of additional gains.
In contrast, the Nasdaq’s post-rally performance has been more muted, reflecting higher volatility and lower follow-through.
Core Sell Point
While one-day rallies exceeding 6% often signal short-term momentum, investors should note the variation in outcomes across indices:
The S&P 500 and Dow Jones tend to sustain gains, while the Nasdaq shows more volatility and weaker average returns.
