Investors concerned bull market is aging, but data suggests long-term rallies can persist.
Some Wall Street investors worry that the current equity rally is reaching its natural end, citing a perceived slowdown in momentum.

While the market’s age does not guarantee a reversal, the pattern suggests that long‑term gains remain possible, provided broader economic fundamentals remain supportive.
