The 'Hindenburg omen' keeps flashing. Should investors worry about a stock-market crash?

The "Hindenburg Omen," a technical stock-market indicator that signals potential crashes, has been triggered again, according to multiple financial outlets. The indicator — which measures the divergence between advancing and declining stocks — has historically preceded market downturns, though it does not guarantee one will occur.

Investors are debating whether the recent signal warrants concern. Market analysts note that while the Hindenburg Omen has shown some predictive value in past decades, its reliability has been questioned in recent years, and false signals are common.
