In macroeconomics, the Sahm rule, or Sahm rule recession indicator, is a heuristic measure by the United States' Federal Reserve for determining when an economy has entered a recession.

A new indicator says there's a 40% chance the US is in a recession that started as early as March. The measure builds on the Sahm rule, using job-vacancy data in addition to unemployment data.
A weak July jobs report just triggered one of the most well-known, and historically accurate, recession indicators: the Sahm Rule. But the rule’s inventor, Claudia Sahm, pushed back against the ...

For example, if the market is up-trending and breaks through the pivot point, the first resistance level is often a good target to close a position, as the probability of ...
