SPDR S&P 500 (SPY)

[NHPIPIXiPY$26]

OK, for a plausible scenario I'd say S&P to 4000 by election, followed by some slightly upwards channel trading.. and eventually new lows after January.

Now if you want crazy.. I'd say straight on melt-up to 5000+ by January.. where individual traders & Wall Streeters basically say F the Fed, pip-squeak Powell, all the nonsense talk & inflation itself.... and the market just explodes north.

Then, from January-March.. we have a massive crash from S&P 5000+ to s&p 1900. Think of this as a conservative version of that David H Contrarian guy's forecast. This would be a pretty cool scenario if it actually happened & were timed right.

We could always simply fizzle from here to s&p 3000-3200 followed by a post-election bounce to 3800 by January before another leg down.

These are my three contest entries.

All vague conjecture & opinion only.
