The expected Christmas rally may have been priced into the market already, when it was defying all sorts of negative news to stay this level. I don't think the market hasn't bottomed out yet, as the gurus on CNBC and other channels have been declaring for the umpteenth time. I think we could reach new lows in the next few weeks because there is only indications of a deepening recession, without an end in sight.
