S&P 500 Analysis by @bravosresearch

The analysis identifies three primary factors driving the upward trend in the stock market: cooling trade uncertainty, strong corporate performance of mega-cap companies, and decreasing odds of a recession. Trade uncertainty has declined, mirroring the stock market's aggressive rise with the S\&P 500 surpassing its level before tariff announcements, suggesting a near-complete resolution of tariff-related uncertainty. Earnings of the top eight S\&P 500 companies are growing significantly, accounting for 25% of the index's earnings, while consumer and small-cap stocks are underperforming. Betting markets indicate a reduced likelihood of a recession in the US. The video suggests the VIX is low and the SP500 is overextended so, the pace of the rally is expected to be slowing down from here, a short term pullback is expected, although its bias remains to the upside. Despite potential economic headwinds, strong corporate earnings, technology sector growth and lessening recession fears provide positive outlook for the market in the coming year.
