Why Historical Trends Suggest Investors Should Stay Calm Amid 2026 Market Volatility
March 31, 2026, 12:47 AM EDT. The S&P 500 has dropped about 7% in early 2026 amid geopolitical tensions and economic concerns. However, three historical indicators suggest investors, especially long-term holders, should resist panic. First, the January barometer shows that positive January returns have preceded full-year gains 89% of the time since 1950, with an average rise of 16.7%. Second, data from Carson Group highlights the market's resilience after major geopolitical shocks, showing a median 7.4% gain 12 months post-event and a 63% chance of gains. Lastly, although short-term crises attract attention, the market generally trends upward over time, reinforcing the value of consistent investing despite volatility.
