A Confirmed 5% Canary Warning
The S&P 500 flashed an Andrew Thrasher 5% Confirmed Canary warning last week, which is defined as “the underlying index declines 5% within 15 days from its 52-week high, and closes under 200 dma for two consecutive days”. The signal is based on a research paper that won the 2023 Charles Dow Award.
If history is any guide, subsequent drawdowns have been higher than average (green bars).
Does this mean it’s time to assume a position of maximum defensive portfolio positioning?
