Historical data suggests that the market tends to continue its upward momentum in Jan' after a positive Dec'. Also a positive Jan also historically leads to above-average returns for the full year. Given the historical calendar effects, one might be tempted to consider going long. However, past performance is never a guarantee of future results. And now let us come to the golden dictum: DON'T TRY TO TIME THE MARKET. Timing the market is inherently risky, and a long-term, disciplined approach is always more effective than focusing solely on seasonal patterns. 

S&P 500 2026 Bullish Consensus: Is Pullback a Gift or a Warning?
The S&P 500 fell after the market opened on Monday. However, a Bloomberg survey shows that none of the 21 strategists are bearish: they forecast the S&P 500 to rise an average of 9% in 2026, marking a potential fourth consecutive year of gains—the longest winning streak in nearly two decades. Previously cautious institutions such as JPMorgan have fully turned bullish, raising their year-end target to 7,500. Does the recent pullback present a buying opportunity, or is it time to rebalance before year-end?
