What is ahead next week for stocks

The market closed up again Friday. The DOW made another all time high to almost 12000. The Nasdaq market is attempting to make another 52-week high as well. The big and small cap stocks are finally in sync to higher highs.

Overall the market is quite healthy with the help of the following: price of oil dropped below $60, FED is holding off for more hikes, economy is moderating not in recession mode.

I think the Nasdaq will break the 52-week high next week. If we can see more volumes to the upside, then we can go back to margin again and celebration is coming. Furthermore, X'mas is coming. November and December are usually friendly for the market.
