MoneyShow Chart of the Day 11/11/2026: Wall Street Just Panicked. Is That...GOOD?

Is Panic on Wall Street a “Good” Thing?

I’ve already talked about the forces fueling the selloff, so I won’t rehash them here. I should also point out we’ve recovered SOME of the lost ground – helped along by Monday’s rally, which featured the biggest one-day gain for the S&P 500 Index (^SPX) in seven months.

But what’s most interesting from a trader’s perspective is the potential for positive, post-panic action. On average, the S&P rises 9% in the six months after the Vol Panic Index tops 9.5. You see gains about 73% of the time.

That doesn’t guarantee a rally, of course. But it does put the odds on your side. You also have the “Midterm Miracle” trend working in your favor.

Or in simple terms, YES, panic on Wall Street might be a good thing – if you know how to capitalize on it. get more articles and chart analysis from MoneyShow, subscribe to our Top Pros’ Top Picks newsletter here
