(New York)

Barron’s has been getting increasingly bearish of late (with the Dow at 25,000 now, we can understand why!), and they have published a bearish article laying out the case for why a correction is looming. The argument has a lot to do with price action, and what the market is showing is that despite reaching a new high, it is coasting rather than gaining momentum. The last trading day of the year—a 118-point loss—was a worrying sign of slowing momentum, and many technical indicators now point to falling prices soon.

FINSUM: One key takeaway from this piece is that despite January being considered a good month for stocks, that is not the case in midterm election years.
