S&P 500 Maintains Long Bullish Streak – But Volatility Risks Rising

S&P 500 has stayed above its 20‑day moving average for 68 days in a row – longest streak since the 1990s.

VIX (Fear Index) has dropped to around 15, its lowest since February – showing very low volatility.

History says: After calm from May–July, volatility usually rises in August–September (VIX +30% on average).

Risks ahead: Weak US jobs data, Fed policy uncertainty, trade tensions, and stretched technical levels.

⚠️ Takeaway: Market has been very strong, but traders should prepare for possible turbulence in the next few weeks.
