Year-End Stock Market Surge: The Perfect Storm for Massive Gains!

Investors are optimistic about a year-end stock market rally, and Jay Pelosky of TPW Advisory sees all the elements for a strong performance in 2023. Positive seasonal trends in November and December, a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment, and high short positions in hedge funds contribute to the bullish outlook. 

Commodity trading advisors (CTAs) shorting stocks may also lead to a bullish turn, with an estimated $150 billion expected to be bought back by year-end. October saw retail investors selling the most stock in two years, suggesting a potential increase in purchases. 

Technical indicators, including the "Zweig Breadth Thrust," recapturing 200-day moving averages, and a bullish "golden cross" signal in the Dow Jones, further support a positive market sentiment. Pelosky anticipates a classic year-end rally, with hedge funds covering shorts, going long, joined by CTAs, active managers, and retail investors, aligning with the current market setup.
