She outlines how markets may grind sideways in the near term as they shift from oversold to overbought, while highlighting key technical levels traders should watch for potential pullbacks.
The broader takeaway is that even with bullish fundamentals, historical midterm-year patterns still point to a likely correction before a more sustained move higher.
