The Christmas Rally AKA Santa Claus Rally refers to A) retailers doing some much of the business at this time of the year and B) mutual funds aggressively trying to get their 4th quarter/end of year preformance figures higher, to sucker more people to invest next year.

This year since most world indices have been in rally mode for some time there might not be a significant additional move before the end of the year.

I would look to some other strategy than this, this time around.

here's some insider's tradng. Usually prices would start to dip in a direction a week before holiday like we saw in thanksgiving. So if your technicals show trend change in early december, I would say follow it!
