Will Stocks Crash Next Week?

Video description: My Outlook for the Next 30 DaysI am slightly cautious / neutral over the next 30 days rather than outright bullish. Here’s why:The market last week showed modest losses — not a crash, but the tone is softening (especially small-caps under‐performing).We have a holiday‐shortened week ahead, which tends to reduce liquidity, increase potential for volatility, and blur data interpretation.Key economic data on consumer spending, inflation and labour will matter significantly. If these come in weak or worse than expected, they could trigger negative sentiment.On the corporate earnings front, there are some decent names reporting — but nothing yet that suggests broad breakout potential. If disappointments occur, the market could drift lower.From a technical perspective, the S&P is pulling back from its recent highs and risk of a deeper consolidation or correction is elevated.So, for trading/income strategies: I would lean toward setups that allow for sideways to mildly down movement (i.e., trades that profit from consolidation or slight decline) rather than full throttle bullish bets. Keep exposure moderate, watch for breakout catalysts but also be prepared for range‐bound or choppier action.
