Key Takeaway
- 200-Day Moving Average Breached : The S&P 500 officially broke below its 200-day moving average (DMA) on March 20, ending a 214-session streak above this important long-term trendline.
- Current Levels : As of March 26, the index closed at 6,477 , down roughly 7.5% from its all-time high set in late January.

- 2024 : Declined 8.5% mid-year; finished up 25.0% .
