Today's Historical Context
Closest match: Jun 2022 · 86% similar

Today most closely resembles Jun 2022. The resemblance isn't the date — it's the setup: a similar position in the cycle, a comparable drawdown from the high, and a attractive valuation backdrop. What followed then is context, not a forecast.

If history rhymes, today deserves attention — not because it predicts tomorrow, but because environments this cheap have historically been uncommon.

The Research Desk

A week's close is a data point. A cycle's position is the story.

It's tempting to let Friday's candle set the mood for the weekend. But a single close rarely changes where we sit in the larger arc — and that position, not the print, is what history actually speaks to.
