In prior post over the past year I have highlighted the current market advance as it relates to prior bull markets. This information has been prepared by Chart of the Day and the below chart and commentary updates the comparison for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The most recent commentary for the S&P 500 Index is included in the post, Current Stock Rally Below Average In Magnitude.
"The Dow just made another all-time record high. To provide some further perspective to the current Dow rally, all major market rallies of the last 115 years are plotted on today's chart. Each dot represents a major stock market rally as measured by the Dow with the majority of rallies referred to by a label which states the year in which the rally began. For today's chart, a rally is being defined as an advance that follows a 30% decline (i.e. a major bear market). As today's chart illustrates, the Dow has begun a major rally 13 times over the past 115 years which equates to an average of one rally every 8.8 years. It is also interesting to note that the duration and magnitude of each rally correlated fairly well with the linear regression line (gray upward sloping line). As it stands right now, the current Dow rally that began in March 2009 (blue dot labeled you are here) would be classified as below average in both duration and magnitude."
