Both the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 came into the day riding 6-day winning streaks, and based on where both indices are trading at mid-day, the S&P 500 looks poised to extend that streak while the streak looks like it’s going to end for small caps. The current six-day streak for the two indices is the first time that both indices have simultaneously been up six days in a row since February 2021. Since 2000, there have only been 16 other streaks, so while they aren’t particularly rare, they aren’t too common either.In the charts below of the S&P 500 and the Russell 2000, the red dots show each time the two indices were up six days in a row at the same time. Looking at the various occurrences, there were several from 2013 to 2014 and then from late 2016 through 2017, and in most cases, they occurred within longer-term uptrends. The only notable exception was in June 2007.
