Market Outlook for the Next 30 Days

I am bullish on the market for the next 30 days. The Federal Reserve's recent decision to cut interest rates by 0.5% has boosted market confidence, and strong economic indicators such as low jobless claims and robust retail sales suggest a resilient economy. Additionally, the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have set new record highs, indicating continued bullish momentum.
