Stock Market Update Tuesday January 9, 2024 The strong stock market rally on Monday did not continue on Turn Around Tuesday. This aligns with the notion that, in line with seasonal patterns, the stock market is presently undergoing a corrective phase.

The downtrend gained strength today, even though it might not be immediately apparent as most issues experienced declines. Notably, big tech companies saw gains again. Ideally, we'd see this bullish consolidation fail, as the best moves often come from failed ones. Mastering the skill of navigating challenges during a swing trade is a hallmark of a successful trader, and this proficiency is honed by managing through counter-trend rallies like this one. Additionally, being long in the stock market is generally more straightforward than being short because there are more opportunities to sell into strength than to buy at the bottom.
