# SantaRallyBegins

U.S. stocks enter the Santa rally as indices rise and the VIX falls, with markets pricing in 2026 growth expectations. Crypto has rebounded modestly—do you see this as a short-term bounce or the start of a trend? How should major coins be positioned near term?
#SantaRallyBegins | Who Will Lead the Next Move?
With the Santa Rally gaining momentum, the market is once again entering a phase where opportunities emerge quickly and hesitation can mean getting left behind. This period often separates passive observers from active participants.
The key question now is not whether the rally is real, but which assets are positioned to lead it. History shows that Santa rallies are rarely driven by a single move. Instead, leadership rotates between strong majors, high-conviction altcoins, and selective momentum plays backed by liquidity and narrative.

Santa Rally Kicks Off Macro Implications and Crypto Positioning
U.S. equities have entered the traditional Santa rally, with major indices climbing steadily and the VIX declining, signaling lower implied volatility and growing investor comfort with near-term risk. Markets appear to be pricing in optimism for 2026 growth, reflecting both corporate earnings expectations and seasonal positioning. Crypto has responded with a modest rebound: BTC and ETH have led the move, while smaller altcoins have seen uneven performance. The question facing investors is whether this is merely a short-term bounc

#SantaRallyBegins
As of 28 December 2025, the crypto market is entering the seasonal period commonly known as the Santa Rally a time when year-end optimism, holiday trading dynamics, and liquidity shifts can create short-term bullish momentum. Historically, crypto assets have shown positive price action during this period, with Bitcoin and other major coins often experiencing noticeable gains in the last week of December. While not guaranteed every year, this trend has repeated multiple times, making it a period closely watched by traders and investors alike.

ABD stock prices are rising, VIX is pulling back.
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?
Indexes up → risk appetite is high
VIX falling → fear is not priced in
Forward expectations → “tomorrow” is being bought
In this environment, big money doesn’t stay in cash, but it also doesn’t rush.
⚠️ Why Is Crypto Still Cautious?

#SantaRallyBegins Market Analysis: The Santa Rally Evolves into a Macro-Driven Risk-On Shift
December 2024
The U.S. equity rally continues to demonstrate strength, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite pushing higher amid declining volatility. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) has retreated toward its long-term average near 15, signaling a clear reduction in near-term market fear. This is not merely a seasonal "Santa Claus rally"—typically defined as the final five trading days of December and first two of January—but appears rooted in broader macroeconomic repricing. Markets are increasingly pr

#SantaRallyBegins 🎅📈 Risk Appetite Is Back, but Leadership Is Still Unclear
As we move into the year-end period, U.S. equity markets are pushing higher while the VIX continues to pull back, signaling that fear is being priced out rather than amplified. Importantly, this move looks less like a classic short-term Santa Claus rally and more like markets pricing in 2026 growth expectations ahead of time. This forward-looking behavior is generally constructive for risk assets, but it also brings nuance that traders need to respect.

Crypto Positioning Framework: Santa Rally Into Early 2026
U.S. equities have entered a Santa rally, with major indices rising and the VIX declining, signaling calmer risk sentiment. Crypto has rebounded modestly, but the key question is whether this is a short-term bounce or the start of a trend. From my perspective, this period requires discipline, selective positioning, and alignment with macro liquidity flows.
1. Understanding the Bounce
The current crypto rebound is primarily liquidity-driven, fueled by:

🎄💻🪙🏦🔑 The year 2026 is approaching, and 2025 flew by incredibly quickly, leaving behind many events and new experiences. This year was filled with both learning and practical activities, and time passed unnoticed. Its acceleration was especially driven by work on the GATE platform, where working with cryptocurrency assets and market analysis became a real revelation for me. I had never encountered such a functional and useful platform before, combining education and practical activities in the digital finance sphere.
Since August this year, I have been actively working with a crypto excha
