Re: What happened to the Santa Claus rally? Too early for that. Overview The Santa Claus Rally is a historical stock market trend where prices tend to rise during the last five trading days of December and the first two of January, a seven-day period often bringing optimism and higher trading volumes due to year-end bonuses, holiday cheer, portfolio "window dressing," and tax-loss harvesting ending. Coined by Yale Hirsch in 1972, the S&P 500 has historically shown gains in this window about 78-80% of the time, though it's not guaranteed annually.
