Let's talk about momentum and the concept of bull & bear ranges.
1/x
Ranges can be defined as the RSI spending more time around the 60 or 40 levels. 2/x
In bull markets, momentum stays elevated, and we rarely see an RSI under 40 for very long if at all. In bear markets, RSI struggles to reach 60. 3/x
In the GFC RSI spent all of 2008 below 60 as it did in 2001-2002. From 2009 until 2015 we rarely saw RSI spend much time near 60. 4/x
Since the peak in 2022, the weekly RSI has dropped under 60 about 5 times and hasn't risen above 58 since the first weeks of Jan. '22. 5/x
Identifying the range momentum is in can be a useful tool in identifying the type of market regimen the index is in. 6/6
The concept or ranges for an indicator is more art than science and of course has some subjectivity to it.

Some thoughts on the chart of the S&P 500 with the diagonal trend line and why you will very rarely ever see me post a chart with such a line...
diagonal lines on a chart aren't support nor resistance levels. They are used to assist in identifying a trend.
A "breakout" above/below a diagonal line doesn't tell us anything about a shift in buyers or sellers taking control of that trend.

Why? Because a 'break' can occur through time alone. The calendar can't dictate supply/demand so nor can a diagonal chart line.
