#SantaRallyBegins UPDATED 2026 MARKET ANALYSIS
As we enter early 2026, traditional markets and crypto show mixed signals around the seasonal Santa Claus Rally phenomenon. This market effect — historically defined as a rise in stock prices during the last trading days of December through the first two days of January — has been observed to occur roughly 76 % of the time since 1950, with average gains over this period historically higher than random periods of the year.
However, the 2025 Santa Rally is anything but certain, and its implications for crypto markets — especially Bitcoin (BTC) and

🎄🎯🎁 Christmas at Gate this year for me is much more than just a festive season. It is a moment of internal reflection, when together with the platform I reach the final stretch of the year with a sense of maturity, gratitude, and conscious progress forward. This journey has been filled with experiences, observations, and the gradual development of my own approach to the market.
Throughout the year, Gate constantly surprised me with a variety of ideas, contests, quizzes, marathons, and different formats of incentives. At the same time, I clearly understand that I still have much to learn. Th

The U.S. stock market has entered the traditional Santa rally period, with major indices rising and the VIX, the main measure of implied market volatility, declining. This seasonal phenomenon often coincides with lower trading volumes, portfolio rebalancing by institutions, and a general increase in investor sentiment.

#SantaRallyBegins | My Day in the Markets
As the year quietly moves toward its final pages, today feels different not rushed, not loud, but meaningful. My day started with charts on the screen, coffee by my side, and that familiar year-end calm in the air. It’s the kind of day where the market doesn’t just move in numbers it communicates through sentiment, rhythm, and behavior. And honestly, this phase always excites me in a very personal way.
For me, the Santa Rally period isn’t about chasing green candles or expecting miracles. It’s about awareness. Throughout the day,

Markets are pricing in the 2026 growth expectations, not the Santa Claus rally.
This scenario is generally seen as positive for risky assets.
On the crypto side, there is a recovery, but the question is clear:
Is this a jump, or the start of a trend?
📌 What Does the US Market Say?

#SantaRallyBegins | Early 2026 Market Reality Check

Historically, equity markets have benefited from year-end flows, optimism around the new
