Relevant scientific studies for the Halloween effect (as Sell in May effect) from a longterm perspective (up to 300 years here): http://www-stat.wharton.upenn.edu/~steele/Courses/434/434Context/Calendar Effects/SellInMayGoAway.pdf https://www.tias.edu/docs/default-source/Kennisartikelen/ssrn-id2154873.pdf?sfvrsn=2
All the studies are quite nice. I like the platform of https://www.stockmarketonline.com/seasonality-chart. There you can easily analyze the seasonal patterns of the SPY ETF and a few other stocks and shares for free (without registration).
Very good trading opportunities in May actually. Gold futures day range has been at >20 points or >1% (see lower chart).
Do you really think so? I look at the weekly chart of SPY and although I'm seeing higher lows I'm not really seeing higher highs. (418.31 Jan high hasn't been broken)

Checking back after 3 weeks, the market has been mostly sideways, SPX 4145 after the current run up and drop.
%% Good uptrend\ flattened a bit, near top on Donchian channel. SCHW Market Edge /SPY = a buy,80% barchart.com has a 96% SPY buy; SCHW Market Edge is edging a buy on SDS ''mildly improving condition= DO NOT initiate a new short position on SDS'' Looks like Ken G of Citadel maybe right, public forecast expect more vol.....as debt deadline [JUNE1-15 ]nears............................................................................
