S&P 500 Bull Market Returns
The Kobeissi Letter's grouped bar chart drew 165.4K views on X: 0.7x its typical post and #32 of 48 The Kobeissi Letter charts we track by views. Read Oct 14, 2026.
The US bull market is entering its 5th year.
Why it spread
It spread because a hot topic that week met an independent author: the post drew 108,176 views, 586 likes, 76 reposts, 18 quotes and 84 saves, with a quote rate above average and a source reach in the top quarter.
What worked
- The chart is a grouped bar comparing average bull market returns by year against the current cycle, which turns a long-running market story into a simple year-by-year comparison.
- The post text leads with a plain milestone, the US bull market entering its 5th year, then supports it with the rally since the October 2022 low and the rank among bull markets at their 4th anniversary.
- It is branded and shows a source line, so the chart reads as a citable artifact rather than an unsourced screenshot, which fits an independent author posting on a hot topic.
What to borrow
We could take a recurring market milestone and frame it as a grouped bar of average historical cycles against our own current cycle, with a short text lead that states the milestone and one supporting comparison.
Careful
Do not copy the specific market claims or treat the engagement as proof of chart quality; the spread also depended on a hot topic that week and on the author being independent, and the design polish and self-labelling were only medium.
