Whats in store for 2026?E-mini S&P 500 FuturesCME_MINI_DL:ES1!BallaJiPredicting that, the stock market will move in any direction other than upwards has historically proven to be a fool's errand. Typically, it's advisable to maintain a long position of America and its robust capital markets until the signs of a recession truly start to emerge. However, last year's forecast of "7k plus" did indeed come to fruition, albeit by the narrowest of margins (just 11 points on the futures). Now, let’s consider a potential scenario for 2026, shall we? Following a stagnant fourth quarter and a lackluster conclusion to the last few trading days of 2025, I suspect that the initial half pf the year may be weaker than the prevailing consensus suggests. Will we experience a technical bear market with a -20% decline? Or will policymakers intervene at -19%, as they have done so many times in the past? :) Regardless of how deep the pullback may be or how quickly the potential softness at the start of the year could occur... It might actually present another fantastic buying opportunity that paves the way for a strong finish to the roaring twenties, with the SPX trading well above 10,000. (indeed my SPX chart points towards 17,000 by 2032) Could the bottom align with a possible four-year cycle low for BTC? That would be quite synchronistic and feasible, especially since crypto has become so intertwined with DJT's policies and serves as a performance metric that this administration is judged on whether praised or criticised for. Have conviction but remain nimble would be my overriding message.
