Global markets are just consolidating and financial results in January will decide direction of the market.

Neither the market soaring further post recent rally nor tumbling to give away recent gains.

Market is looking for further positive or negative news either to soar further or to tumble.

Mainly if you are pledging the shares for loans, try to not to take more than 40% of stock value even if the bank is offering more loan.

Reason is if market falls in near by future, stop losses will not trigger.

Generally post rally of stock markets, 25% to 35% (of recent growth) decline will happen. 

But at the same time it is not possible to forecast the exact top point and bottom point in stock markets.

Mainly companies results in Jan-2024 will decide the further direction of stock meetings as there are not futther significant events.
