By now you are most likely aware that the S&P 500 just experienced its quickest 10% decline in its history. Did this decline break long-term rising channels? Check out the 3-pack above.
This 3-pack takes a monthly look at the Bank Index (BKX), JP Morgan (JPM) and the S&P 500. Each has spent the majority of the past 9-years inside of rising channels, as they have created higher lows and higher highs.
These channels are important as the 20% decline in the S&P 500 in the fall of 2018 tested rising support, yet it did not break it.
