How will the market in 2026 unfold? Analysts predict the S&P 500 is expected to surge to 7700 points
[BlockBeats] Well-known analyst Tom Lee recently shared his outlook for the 2026 market. He believes that the widespread rally at the beginning of the new year (stocks, precious metals, cryptocurrencies all strengthening) is a good sign, and healthy market breadth usually indicates steady performance ahead.
However, this year will be more “dramatic”—initial joy, followed by sorrow, then a rebound. He admits that at some point mid-year, the market will make people feel like it’s entering a bear market, and that panic will feel very real. But the key is: this is not the end, but an opportunity. A strong rebound will follow, and the stock market will ultimately close higher.
In terms of specific numbers, he predicts the S&P 500 could reach over 7,700 points by the end of 2026. However, before that, especially when the market “tests” the new Federal Reserve Chair, a 15%-20% correction may occur. The risks in the second half of the year are relatively higher, but these adjustments are essentially opportunities for positioning, not the end of the cycle. In other words, dips are entry signals.
Watching the index stay above 7700 points—surviving that 20% correction in the middle—that's the real skill.
Will the Federal Reserve pass that hurdle smoothly? Question mark.
7,700 points? Let's wait and see. We'll know as soon as the Federal Reserve makes a move.
Mid-year bear market turning into an opportunity—what a classic case of armchair quarterbacking after the fact.
A 15-20% correction is "building a position"? Then I would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Tom Lee's mouth is more convincing than my wallet.
A sharp decline in the second half of the year requires calm planning? Easy to say, but if it really crashes, who wouldn't panic?
First joy, then sadness, followed by a rebound—this script was played last year too. I just want to know if this is a real opportunity or another chance to cut the leeks.
Speaking of which, whenever Federal Reserve Chair "tests" the market, it gets hit. If that's the case, we should be used to it by now.
If 7700 points can really be reached, then we should celebrate. But until then, it's better to stay cautious.
But honestly, a strong start across the board is quite good; at least there are no signs of a bear market. Now let's see how it unfolds.
It's just the usual excuse for a correction—basically waiting to harvest the little guys.
7700? That seems a bit conservative. Our appetite in the crypto circle has already been inflated.
