    Here's Why These Markets Won't Go Down… Yet

    why are markets moving up

    By , Technical Trading Specialist, Money Morning • @DRBarton_Stocks -

    The Nasdaq winning streak we broke on Thursday, July 20 - 10 straight "up" days - was the longest streak in more than two years. It was the 20th time the Nasdaq had pulled such a feat since 1980. 

    Over those 20 instances, after one month, the index was up 80% of time with an average gain of 2.6%.

    What this is, is more potent fuel for the "market that just won't go down" theme.

    Lots of forces have come together to provide us with the grinding bull market. And one characteristic of this market has been that pullbacks have been very small.

    For all of 2017, now more than half over with, the biggest pullback we've had in the S&P 500 has been a miniscule 2.8%.

Then again, maybe he didn't.

But what's clear is the decades-old "how to invest your own money" philosophy has never been more popular.

In fact, it's so hot it may be the reason stock markets are hitting serial new highs... and why volatility, as measured by the VIX, is at historic lows. Genius!

The thing is, it's also likely going to cause the next insane spike in volatility and serve as the impetus for the next market crash. Insanity!

Either way, no one - even active investors - can afford to keep ignoring what's happening...
