2026 is off to a great start with international equities leading out of the gate, which is a significant rotation indicating that the current bull market is broadening out.

I am leading the year with a concise summary of my 2026 Market Outlook annotated with key charts and market studies.

A data-based look at market cycles, historical patterns, price momentum, and market liquidity leaves me with an astonishingly positive outlook for 2026.

Caution and skepticism remain only, because midterm election years tend to have notoriously steep drawdowns and major market bubbles inflate with rising volatility.

In short, I expect 2026 to end well in the green, but the path to get there may turn out to be rocky.
