Stocks finished higher as Santa Claus finally arrived for the market. The S&P 500 finished up the most – 1.40%. The Nasdaq was up 1.22% on the week, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1.20%. I still need to see a new high in the Nasdaq to give the all clear signal, but underneath the surface of the market, good things continue to happen. The biggest story, however, is how metals (mainly silver) have gone parabolic. There's really nothing to do at this point – it's too late to chase the move, and you wouldn't dare sell short. Just sit back, relax, and watch history be made there.\nThe Santa Claus Rally is a well-documented seasonal stock market phenomenon, referring to the historical tendency for stock prices to rise during the last five trading days of December and the first two trading days of January (a seven-trading-day window).\nIt was coined by Yale Hirsch in the 1972 Stock Trader’s Almanac, and it has occurred about 76-80% of the time since 1950, with the S&P 500 averaging a 1.3% gain during this period (compared to a typical seven-day return of ~0.2%).\nPossible causes include holiday optimism, year-end tax strategies, bonus-driven investments, and lighter trading volume from institutional investors on vacation, allowing retail buyers to push prices higher. Absence of the rally has sometimes signaled weaker performance in the following year, though it’s not a guaranteed predictor.\nAs we head into the final week of 2026, it's clear that healthcare (XLV) won out the fourth quarter. The rest of the sectors are huddling in a pretty tight pack, save for utilities (XLU) and real estate (XLRE).\nWhile it's good to see utilities and real estate at the bottom of the pack, the outperformance of healthcare sets a somewhat cautionary tone going into the new year. We're going to have to see more from the growth sectors for that to change.\nThe good news is that tech (XLK) is still in a position to quickly change the tone. Financials (XLF) are sitting in second place, and that's simply not where you'd see such a sector if the market was about to rollover. It looks like more chop is in store in the near-term.\nEditor's Note: The tape is in expansion mode.\n2025 will go down into the record books as silver's year. It's the best-performing asset by far, and to be honest, far exceeded my own expectations in terms of performance. I'm looking at the ratio between gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) here.\nUnsurprisingly, this ratio has completely collapsed over the past few months as silver outperformed gold by a very wide margin. If you go back and look at history, this is the type of price action that precedes key tops.\nIn the meantime, we're in the blowoff phase of this move. Prices could still go higher, but in reality, it's become too dangerous to chase and too dangerous to short. It's best to wait for the dust to settle on this historic move.\nThe price action in Bitcoin continues to show weakness and warn of additional downside. It's been effectively consolidating its losses over the past month. As a rule, this warns that lower prices are on the horizon, but prices would have to break support for further confirmation.\nUnless Bitcoin can rally back above 94,000-95,000, there are significant downside risks. It's been making lower-lows and lower-highs, which means that a bear trend is in effect. Trends are notorious for lasting longer than most people expect.\nA final washout down to the 74,000-76,000 zone cannot be ruled out entirely. If that happens, it may present a unique buying opportunity, as the odds of crypto having back-to-back bearish years is not very likely.\nLegal Disclosures:\nThis communication is provided for information purposes only. \nThis communication has been prepared based upon information, including market prices, data and other information, from sources believed to be reliable, but Benzinga does not warrant its completeness or accuracy except with respect to any disclosures relative to Benzinga and/or its affiliates and an analyst’s involvement with any company (or security, other financial product or other asset class) that may be the subject of this communication.
