It's been a very long time because the S&P 500 was up this many days in a row

Here is a great chart from Brett Donnelly highlighting today’s 9-day winning streak in the S&P 500 (which is likely to hold given the 1.6% gain so far).

It’s the first 9-day run since 2005 and another day of gains would take us back to 1996. The record was a 14-day winning streak that ended on April 15, 1971.

Looking at this chart though, I’m struck by how few of the nine-day streaks turned into 10-day streaks.
