Every spring, the headlines bloom with the same message:
“Sell in May and go away.”
It’s a catchy seasonal saying — but is it still relevant in today’s market? At Chronicle Trade Group, we don’t follow market myths. We follow probabilities. And that’s where the real edge lives.
📉 The Origins of “Sell in May”
Historically, the S&P 500 underperforms between May and October compared to the stronger winter months (Nov–Apr). But averages don’t tell the whole story. Neither do outdated slogans.
Markets today are faster, more data-driven, and algorithmic. That’s why timing and technical probability matter more than seasonal sayings.
📊 What Chronicle’s Watching
While others exit in May, we:
Monitor the Fibonacci zones from key SPX correction cycles
Track volume shifts, macro catalysts, and 60-min EMAs
Use Fibonacci Time Zones to anticipate where time meets price
In 2025, the S&P 500 just bounced from a 20% correction low (4835) — placing us in a critical decision zone. Rather than running away, we’re analyzing where the next edge forms.
🧠 Chronicle’s nGiStrategy:
Seasoned, Not Seasonal Here’s what we do differently in May:
Lighten exposure in chop zones, not abandon them
Deploy heavier in September–October, where probability spikes
Educate investors on how to read technicals, not taglines
We don’t react to the calendar. We respond to price action, trends, and time-based confluence.
📈 Final Take:
“Sell in May” might be a clever phrase — but profit doesn’t come from clichés.
It comes from reading the chart, managing risk, and showing up when others are confused.
