Recessions and the SP-500:
Going back to year 1948, the median peak to trough drop for the SP500 during a recession is -24% and the average is -29%.
So a median recession drop of -24% from the peak of 4819 is at 3662 (SP500 hit 3637 today, primary count ) and an average recession drop of -29% from the peak of 4819 is at 3421 (alt blue count).

1 year gain +38% to 5090 (by June 2023)
2 year gain +58% to 5786 (by June 2024)

Hi – please can you share the lower timeframe charts for spx and also which levels to watch to determine if blue or red are playing out or blu e or red are eliminated

Although I hope the SP500 primary count wins out, the MA(200) on the weekly chart is 3,502 which aligns well with the alternate blue count. Sometimes. It seems like these key MA’s act as a magnet when price gets close.
