Let’s break it all down, incorporating the StoryTrading 4-pillar framework—⚡️Catalysts, ❤️Sentiment, 📊Fundamentals, and 📈Technicals.Macro Overview: Seasonal Tailwinds with a January TwistThe broader market sentiment remains bullish as December unfolds. Tax deferral strategies and seasonal trends are fueling a melt-up, particularly in risk assets like $ARKK and small caps ($IWM). However, tax-loss selling continues to weigh on underperforming stocks from 2024.Key Prediction: Expect a small pullback in early January, driven by the conclusion of tax strategies. However, markets may rally ahead of Trump’s inauguration, providing a buffer against major corrections. Post-inauguration, prepare for a larger market adjustment.Top Picks:NBIS
