Market Outlook for the Next 30 Days

Given the recent performance trends and the upcoming economic reports, I am bullish on the market for the next 30 days. The positive momentum in major indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, combined with anticipated economic data releases, suggests a favorable environment for continued growth. Additionally, the expectation of interest rate decisions could provide further clarity and potentially boost market sentiment.
