No one has posted the most important catalyst for moving the market down this year, Venom mentioned expansion of war but I don't think that is likely, at least not on the scale that can usurp the catalyst no one has mentioned.
I really want to say it lol but you know, no free lunch lol.
I wish someone would say it so I can cosign =[.

tomorrow for CPI they have implied move of ~100 points on SP 500.
going off that SPX is at that same resistance all of 2022 that was sell off and the 200 daily moving average at spx 4000.
this does feel like rug pull is being setup / sneaky one.
if CPI is soft any rally should be sold off the days after.
if CPI is hot
boom 3850-3800 in blink of eye.

started thinking about it though, it wouldn't matter in the long run even if I bought in @ SPY 440 or something ridiculous at this point. I'm averaging in 26x a year from paycheck contributions and still have 20-25 years to go

Just think about it, the major markets are down roughly 20% right now. If that isn't a good enough time to get that money back in and start letting it work for you, it probably never will be.
There are just so many stats out there that point to not trying to time the market for long term holds. Dude, you're 20-25 years out. Get the money in there.

CPI fell 0.1%, in line with economist expectations. The consumer price index was expected to decrease 0.1% on a monthly basis and increase 6.5% from a year ago in December, according to Dow Jones estimates.

you just keep on giving money to Citadel playing gme options.
retail gets all hyped up because of BBBY squeeze
meanwhile some fund out there is giving fuel so they can short GME from higher.

what did you sell the calls for?
lets assume you sold those calls when they were $1 each.
you can buy it back now that they are OTM.
would keep the difference.
lets assume
4x CC sold for $1 each.
you got $400 for them
now you buy back at lets say $0.2 cents each so $80
you would have profit of $400-80 = $320.

To the contrary, I think banks etc. want a hard landing so that fed feels forced to turn the money printers back on. Think it would almost be better if we were nosediving into a hard landing so the printers could be turned back on sooner. Instead, I think we will stagnate for a while because banks aren't going to use their own capital to prop up main street. Once we finally accept we are in a recession, money printers turn back on and it is party again.

Is shelter being driven mostly by rents? That can't be home prices right, and mortgage costs shouldn't be shooting up when the US has fixed rates for 25 years
Housing is one of the top targets of interest rate hikes along with autos, but I don't know if this means increased risk of more hikes or if rents are being driven upward by the higher interest rates and that means the Fed would need to ease off to bring them down

I am bit skeptical they are going to get BBBY over $4 but you never know with squeezes.

USD is getting steam rolled
BTC Pumping
Meme names pumping
Yields diving
SP 500 over 200 DMA
Suspect stuff atm but don't ever short slow moving market it can grind higher till they decide to take profit.
Momentum is with buyers.
Trying to get in front of it will hurt.
Better to join ride (feels late atm) or wait till it starts to go other way.
