The Hindenburg Omen Keeps Firing in 2026. Should You Worry?

President and Chief Strategist, Sierra Alpha Research

The Hindenburg Omen keeps firing in 2026, but does this famous market top indicator actually signal trouble ahead? Dave Keller breaks down the three components behind the Hindenburg Omen, explains why he treats it more like a "tornado siren" than an outright sell signal, and looks back at previous signals to see what happened next.

In addition, Dave examines just how unusual the recent cluster of signals has been, comparing today's setup with periods surrounding some significant market peaks over the last 30 years. He finishes with the S&P 500 and the key 7600 support level that could help determine whether the latest Hindenburg Omen is simply another warning or an early indication of a much more significant market decline!
