Carter Worth, chief market technician at Oppenheimer Asset Management, joins Dylan for the Fast Money Final Call during Wednesday's "Closing Bell." He called for a rally all month and we've been in one -- despite today's 3% drop in the Dow. What trends does he see coming next?

There are two tendencies common during this part of the year, Worth notes: 1) Out of the last 15 days of the year, 3 out of 4 were up, going back the last 50-60 years. Drift up. 2) Low-price stocks outperform in January consistently. Oppenheimer is "loaded up" in these stocks that have had the most capitulation.

As far as selling, Worth suggests going against "consumer discretionary names," i.e., retailers, which have had just "quick pops" like Best Buy. "Sell against" these, he advises.
