FUNDAMENTAL VIEW: LONGTERM SEASONAL PATTERN vs. STOCKMARKETS HISTORY ON 5% DROPS

The S&P is doing something it hasn’t done since 1995, here’s what it could mean for stocks

QUOTE:
This year has been one of the quietest on record for the markets in terms of big and swift moves. Yet if history is an indication, volatility could soon rear its ugly head.

According to LPL Financial's Ryan Detrick, the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has averaged a reading of 11.54 in 2017—its lowest ever. This as the S&P 500 Index hasn't seen a 5 percent pullback in over a year, its longest streak without such a decline in more than twenty years.

"This is only the sixth time since 1950 that the S&P 500 has made it at least a year without so much as a 5 percent correction, and marks the longest streak since 1995," Detrick explained.

Despite stocks hitting new record highs this week, the technician is skeptical that this trend will continue. Blue chip stocks "can go a little bit further without a 5 percent correction, maybe, but when you consider the calendar, we've got August and September, [there are] troublesome months coming up here," he toldCNBC's "Futures Now." last week.
