In this video: The markets are approaching a historic "Make-or-Break" moment. Chief Market Strategist Gareth Soloway reveals that the S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow, and Russell 2000 are all compressed into tight wedge patterns that MUST resolve this coming week.
Gareth issues a critical alert: While the S&P 500 is likely to briefly cross the 7,000 mark and the Dow is eyeing 50,000, the charts signal this is a massive false breakout. This "final surge" is setting the stage for a sharp decline that could break major support and catch the "herd" off guard. Video by Gareth Soloway.

Major U.S. stock indexes are entering a critical "make or break" week starting January 12, 2026, as markets face their first significant data tests of the new year following a turbulent end to 2025.
-Crucial Economic Data: Investors are braced for the release of the December 2025 CPI (Tuesday, Jan 13) and PPI (Wednesday, Jan 14). These reports are considered a "make or break" moment because they provide the first reliable look at inflation following a lengthy federal government shutdown in late 2025 that disrupted economic data collection.
-Market Sentiment: The major indexes (Dow, S&P 500) wrapped up the first week of 2026 at record highs. However, analysts suggest the coming week will determine if this momentum is sustainable or if the market is due for a "sizeable correction" to address overdue volatility.
-Earnings Outlook: While the tech sector is expected to show continued profit growth, the overall S&P 500 forecast for 2026 has been revised to 14.7% year-over-year growth. Missing these high expectations could trigger a sharp reversal in current index trends.
-Technical Levels: The S&P 500 is currently testing key support levels. If it fails to hold its current ground, technical analysts warn the "floodgates" could open, potentially leading to a retreat toward the 200-day moving average at roughly 6,162.
