  • The impressive year-to-date rally in the stock market is about to crumble, according to Goldman Sachs.
  • The bank said the S&P 500 has more downside than upside between now and the end of the year due to high valuations and weak earnings growth.

Goldman Sachs is growing more and more skeptical of the impressive year-to-date rally in the stock market, according to a Friday note.

The S&P 500 is up more than 7% year-to-date and eclipsed the all-important 4,000 price level two weeks ago. But according to Goldman, 4,000 is about as far as the S&P 500 is going to go between now and the end of the year.
