The probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in January is only about 15%, and relying on this to boost the market is basically a lost cause.

However, there is a good reference — the "January Effect" does exist historically.

Data shows that the stock market's performance in January often outperforms other months. The logic behind this is similar to the Christmas rally: tax incentives, year-end bonuses, and market psychological changes brought by the holidays.

In the past, this phenomenon was mainly reflected in small-cap stocks because retail investors tend to be more concentrated during this time, making it easier to form a collective force.

So, it might be worth paying more attention to stocks that are trending heavily on Reddit discussions; you might find some opportunities.
