This is the week the market will make its big push, as positive earnings surprises will send it higher and carry it through the rest of the year, said Marc Pado, US markets strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald.
"As these companies get an incremental amount of more production, it's going to be more profit, and that's what stocks trade off of," Pado said. "[It's] not about the economy, not about employment — in the long run those are important, but right now it's about profits."
Pado said the market will experience a "very playable" pullback early next year from people buying on rumor and selling on news. Still, it won't drop back down to its March lows, he said.
"That was a false low that was put in," he said. "That was panic."
