Where on the net can I find a chart of the Dow and s&p 500 that will show something close to this.. a weekly 1 year chart based on the average of the last 10,20 or even 50 years. I just want to see the average yearly seasonality of the major indexes. I would also like to see the same for VIX I really needs to go back at least 10 - 20 years if possible. Thanks for any suggestions.
Not sure if this is what you want, but you can get Dow charts all the way back to 1895 at averages.dowjones.com
what I am looking for would be like a chart showing the average % increase or decrease for each week of the year based on the last 20 - 50 years. The chart would look like any other 1 year chart however it is an average of all the years selected. using actual $ price moves distorts the chart because of the increase in index value over the years but i think that using % moves puts them on an equal value to plot the averages. The Stock Traders Almanac has lots of the stats buried within its pages but I really want to see it as a chart. I am curious as to when the most probable seasonal market cycles will be. using the average of many years raises the odds of its accuracy. In theory
