S&P 500 2024 Return

Who’s in Control in 2025? Bulls or Bears?
What I want to highlight from the chart above, other than the strong 24% gain in the S&P 500 for the year, is those little circles.
They highlight two key points, both market sharp selloffs.
The green volume bars indicate strong buying after the dip.
That’s bullish.
And it tells us the Bulls, at least for now, are still in control heading into 2025.
We highlighted it in our Options Activity Scanner the other week – the big money was buying the dip. Not running.
It lines up with the blue line, a previous resistance, holding as support. For now. We are watching these key levels and volume action for 2025.
High level though, it signals bulls are still here and still strong. That’s what we are trading on for 2025.
Stay Bullish in 2025, But with a Tempered Outlook
Based on the chart, the volume we are seeing from our Options Activity Scanner, our goal here is simple – stay bullish.
But with a tempered outlook.
That means we are optimistic on 2025 and ultimately expect another positive year for the S&P 500.
However, the weak price action at the end of the year puts us at a unique spot.
As we get into January, we’ll provide more updates to our broader outlook for the year.
Trade smart,
S.E.A.L. Alpha Team
