Finally, perhaps of note, if the S&P 500 fails to close this week’s trading above last Friday’s close, history-conscious investors might feel a sinking sense of deja vu.

And while stocks managed to climb higher in the following session, the index didn’t have a higher weekly close until two Fridays ago.
