The S&P 500 has fallen below its 200-day moving average—a level closely watched as a potential turning point for market momentum. While this pullback has brought the index near correction territory, it’s important to remember that 10% drawdowns are common in most years, even in strong uptrends. Similar breakdowns have sometimes led to deeper declines, while others have seen swift recoveries. 

No single indicator can predict the future, but moments like these are why we utilize our RiskFirst® approach to disciplined, risk-management.  This allows us all to stay focused on long-term goals rather than reacting emotionally to short-term market moves.
