He cites historical cases where VIX >30 preceded a >15% oil drop and a sub-20 VIX, which produced median six‑month gains around 9%, suggesting the S&P 500 could reach about 7,400 in coming months as the uptrend persists.

According to Lee, investors should be worried when the market declines on good economic news, as opposed to reacting to bad news.

He expects the index to reach around 5,000 before the drawdown, possibly driven by concerns over the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions.

"S&P 500's Journey: From Predicted Pullback to Record Highs and Historical Performance Insights"
Fundstrat's Tom Lee predicts a stock market pullback in early 2024, despite overall bullish expectations for the year. He anticipates a 5% consolidation after January's all-time highs, driven by four factors: market anticipation of more Federal Reserve interest rate cuts than expected, potential delays in AI development due to systematic hacks, the need to consolidate late 2023's rapid gains, and typical election year market patterns. However, any dips are seen as buying opportunities, with sidelined cash poised to support a quick recovery.
Fundstrat: Stock Market Bottoming, Perfect Buying Opportunity Approaching
Fundstrat's Mark Newton predicts that stocks are bottoming out and the market is approaching a perfect buying opportunity for investors. He suggests that the S&P 500 could drop to 4,200 before recovering, partly due to short-term market volatility. However, the downside is expected to be contained, and a recovery in stock prices is anticipated. Newton believes that the Fed's likely halt in interest rate hikes and seasonal tailwinds heading into Q4 will support risk assets. He also mentions that lower rates could fuel economic growth, particularly benefiting sectors like tech. Despite concerns over inflation and recession, Newton expects inflationary pressure to resolve itself and points to strong demand in the housing and labor markets as factors that could postpone any downturn.
Navigating the August Stock Market Slump: Buy-the-Dip or Start Shopping?
Fundstrat's head of research, Tom Lee, believes that the recent August sell-off in the stock market presents a buy-the-dip opportunity for investors. While more downside may be expected in the near term, Lee predicts that the market will bounce back, particularly with the upcoming Jackson Hole Symposium and Nvidia's earnings report. Factors such as China's weakening economy and the potential for rising interest rates have contributed to the recent sell-off, but Lee remains optimistic about the market outlook for the rest of the year. However, other economists caution that stocks may be overvalued and a correction could be on the horizon.

"Inflation Drop Fuels S&P 500 Rally in Stock Market Outlook"
Fundstrat has issued a tactical buy recommendation on the S&P 500, expecting a 2% rally this week that could push the index past 4,500. The main catalyst for the expected surge is lower-than-expected inflation, with the June CPI report anticipated to show a deceleration. Fundstrat's Tom Lee believes that a low inflation reading would be bullish for the stock market, undermining the view of a "hawkish Fed" and potentially shattering the bear market thesis. The tactical buy recommendation is in place until July 14.
Fed rate hike uncertainty fuels stock market volatility.
Fundstrat's Tom Lee predicts that the S&P 500 could retest its all-time-high from early 2022 and rally to 4,750 by the end of 2023, as the Fed is expected to issue its last rate hike this week. Falling inflation indicators and the limited impact of banking turmoil support this view. A Fed pause could be a "make or break" moment for stocks, Lee said, as steep rate hikes weighed heavily on equities in 2022.
